Procurement, of which there are several different types, is the act of obtaining goods or services, usually for a business. According to workplace stress, procurement and the supply chain industry is a stressful environment. But it shouldn’t and doesn’t have to be. There are several steps to follow in order to make the procurement and RFP process easier and more stress-free, but what are they and how do you get started?

On this episode of InTouch with Entouch, host Tyler Kern chats with ENTOUCH’s Todd Brinegar, EVP Sales and Marketing, about breaking down the steps in procurement and making it easy to generate RFPs. Kern and Brinegar address…

“So, it’s really, you have to give the flavor of your organization when responding to an RFP but in the RFP process, you also need to provide an avenue for a company to really tell you who and what they are and what they mean to your organization, not as a tactical solution but a long-term partner,” said Brinegar.

Brinegar is a global sales and marketing leader, paving the way in marketing sustainable solutions with ENTOUCH Controls. He has over 15 years of directorial and management experience in the sales and marketing sector. Brinegar is a graduate of Hillsdale College where he earned his BA in Communications, Marketing, and Economics.

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

Carolinas contractors need field-tested evidence on new tools now. ABC's Construction Backlog Indicator reached 8.7 months in September, yet more than a quarter of contractors expect thinner margins.

  • 01A contractor with 8.7 months of work booked has time to pilot new tools. A contractor expecting thinner margins has less room to pay for a tool that only worked in the demo.
  • 02Diverge tests construction tools in controlled pilots and on active jobsites, and ABC can pass along what holds up. Contractors still need to choose what to pilot and define the metric that will decide it.
  • 03In South Carolina, a 1099 specialist brought in to run a tech pilot faces two separate state classification tests. Passing one does not settle the other.

Veolia to treat a 3-million-person wastewater load at Arauco's Brazil pulp mill

Veolia to treat a 3-million-person wastewater load at Arauco's Brazil pulp mill

Veolia will design and implement the industrial effluent treatment plant for Arauco's US$4.6 billion Sucuriú pulp mill in Inocência, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant will be capable of treating 10,600 cubic meters of wastewater per hour. Veolia says the organic load is equivalent to that of a municipality of 3 million inhabitants. It will use its biofilm activated sludge process, which aims to maximize treatment capacity within a compact footprint, ahead of the mill's expected late 2027 start of operations.

  • 01The plant will treat 10,600 cubic meters an hour at a 3.5 million-tonnes-a-year mill, with wording that suggests a reference design for next-generation builds.
  • 02Veolia’s design targets a compact footprint and includes belt presses to dewater sludge, making sludge handling part of the treatment system.
