Partner Product Integration Will Provide a Procure-to-Pay Automated Solution for Construction Companies Using Procore

EDMONTON, Alberta–(BUSINESS WIRE)–QuoteToMe, a leading provider of procure-to-pay automation software, today announced a new partnership with Procore (NYSE:PCOR), a leading global provider of construction management software. QuoteToMe’s integration with Procore will help increase efficiency for contractor businesses looking to improve their procurement processes.

Construction is a $10T/year global industry, over $1T is spent on materials and equipment in the US and Canada alone. Due to an inefficient incumbent procure-pay workflow, the result is billions of dollars of waste on project overspend and re-work. The construction industry standard for procure-pay workflows includes manual non-centralized communication (phone, text, email) between project teams and suppliers, many paper-based processes, and little to no visibility between contractor departments (field, office and accounting).

Using QuoteToMe’s end-to-end platform consistently saves contractor field and office teams 75% of the time spent to source goods and process purchase orders (POs) and creates up to 15% cost savings on materials and equipment.

The integration between QuoteToMe and Procore helps effectively eliminate data entry and frees time for project managers and site supervisors. Using the QuoteToMe app, field and office users will have the ability to create purchase orders from their mobile devices or desktop computers that can automatically sync with Procore’s Project Financials product.

“Today, we welcome QuoteToMe to a global ecosystem of over 300 Procore App Marketplace Partners,” said Jas Saraw, VP Canada, Procore. “The seamless integration of QuoteToMe with our platform can save our customers time and money, allowing them to protect their profit margins and reduce the administrative burden of procurement.”

“Creating a seamless product experience for Procore users unlocks value for all. Our go-to-market and product strategy places a strong emphasis on integrating with leading software companies, like Procore,” said John Chabluk, QuoteToMe’s founder and CEO

QuoteToMe’s product is a fit for self-performing general and sub-contractors across all four customer segments: Emerging, Mid-Market, Major and Enterprise. Contractors’ clients annual revenue volumes ranging from $15M/year to $1B+.

The benefits of this new integration include:

• Request quotes from your preferred material and equipment suppliers, manage purchasing approvals, and enforce purchasing limits.
• Send completed purchase orders, invoices, and related documents directly to Procore.
• Create POs commitments directly from QuoteToMe’s mobile app to capture receipt-of-goods documents on-site or in the store.
• Rapid onboarding of new contractor customers.
• QuoteToMe syncs and makes Procore project, supplier, and cost code data available to users on-site or in the office through our web and mobile app.

About QuoteToMe

QuoteToMe is a technology company creating innovation for one of the biggest industries on the planet. We have re-imagined how materials, equipment, and services are sourced and paid for on construction projects by helping contractors buy better. Our mission is simple: We are digitizing the construction procure-to-pay workflow by creating a network that connects transaction stakeholders.

QuoteToMe is a privately owned company, with industry leading equity partners including: Builders VC, Blackhorn Ventures, Argonautic Ventures, Azure Capital Partners and the Stanford University Farmers Angel Investment Club. Learn more at quotetome.com

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DREAM OFFICE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (D.UN-TSX) or (“Dream Office REIT”, the “Trust” or “we”) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) accepted a notice filed by Dream Office REIT to renew its prior normal course issuer bid for a one year period. Under the bid, Dream Office REIT will have the ability to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 3,292,287 of its REIT Units, Series A (the “REIT A Units”) (representing 10% of Dream Office REIT’s public float of 32,922,872 REIT A Units) through the facilities of the TSX. The bid will commence on August 19, 2022 and will remain in effect until the earlier of August 18, 2023 or the date on which Dream Office REIT has purchased the maximum number of REIT A Units permitted under the bid. Daily repurchases will be limited to 34,512 REIT A Units, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the REIT A Units on the TSX during the last six calendar months (being 138,048 REIT A Units per day), other than purchases pursuant to applicable block purchase exceptions. As of August 5, 2022, the number of issued and outstanding REIT A Units is 47,035,382.

In connection with the renewal of its normal course issuer bid, Dream Office REIT has established an automatic securities purchase plan (the “Plan”) with its designated broker to facilitate the purchase of REIT A Units under the normal course issuer bid at times when Dream Office REIT would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase its REIT A Units due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods. Purchases will be made by Dream Office REIT’s broker based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX and the terms of the parties’ written agreement. Outside of such restricted or blackout periods, the REIT A Units may also be purchased in accordance with Management’s discretion. The Plan has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will terminate on August 18, 2023.

Dream Office REIT has renewed its normal course issuer bid because it believes that REIT A Units may become available during the period of the bid at prices that would make the purchase of such REIT A Units for cancellation in the best interests of Dream Office REIT and its unitholders.

Dream Office REIT’s prior normal course issuer bid for the purchase of up to 3,676,723 REIT A Units expired on March 11, 2022, the date that the Trust acquired the maximum number of REIT A Units permitted under the bid. Under this bid, Dream Office REIT purchased for cancellation 3,676,723 REIT A Units through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange at an average price of $23.79 for a total cost of approximately $87.5 million.

Dream Office REIT is an unincorporated, open-ended real estate investment trust. Dream Office REIT is a premier office landlord in downtown Toronto with over 3.5 million square feet owned and managed. We have carefully curated an investment portfolio of high-quality assets in irreplaceable locations in one of the finest office markets in the world. For more information, please visit our website at www.dreamofficereit.ca.

This press release may contain forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including with respect to future purchases of REIT A Units by the Trust. Forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Trust’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-looking information.

Our objectives and forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, including that the general economy remains stable, interest rates remain stable, conditions within the real estate market remain consistent, competition for acquisitions remains consistent with the current climate and that the capital markets continue to provide ready access to equity and/or debt. All forward-looking information in this press release speaks as of August 17, 2022.

“As we take the first steps to full brand integration, we build on our shared legacy across Umow Lai and our partners throughout the U.K. and U.S.,” says Integral Group President Bill Overturf. “The rebranding represents our reaffirmed dedication to providing our customers with deep technical expertise, cutting-edge innovations, and worldwide resources. Many of us have already worked together on projects, and I’m excited to see this next, natural stage of our growth. Together, we can continue to improve the quality of life for our communities while promoting unity across our company by simplifying processes and procedures for employees to collaborate throughout all our offices.”

Introba will provide a full range of design services, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering; technology systems; security consulting; medical equipment planning; aviation baggage handling; and sustainability consulting across key sectors, including commercial, healthcare, government, education, aviation, culture, and science and technology.
