Baucore connects field activity, incoming requests, quoting, submittals, orders, customer service and commissions on one project record. Baucore Inbox reads what arrives, prepares the work, and shows the evidence behind it — so your team validates instead of re-types.

Email, spreadsheets, vendor portals, CRM — nothing stays in sync. Quotes are scattered across bidders and systems. Same project, multiple contractors, no clean way to stay aligned. You can't connect the full picture of a project. From design and specification through quotes, orders, shipments, and substitutions, nothing ties together cleanly. Revenue gets disconnected from the work. Quotes, orders, shipments, and commissions don't tie back cleanly. The work arrives as email and stays there. Quote requests, revisions, a second distributor asking about a job you already track, delivery questions — all landing in the same shared inbox, none of it becoming structured work until somebody re-types it. ## Start where the work arrives Most of an agency's day begins as an email. Baucore Inbox reads the message, its attachments, and the files linked inside it — Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, downloaded automatically — then proposes the project it belongs to, the participants involved and the scope it found, with the page and the screenshot behind every line. AI Project Match ranks the projects a request could belong to, so a second distributor asking about a job you already track joins that project instead of starting a new one. Your team confirms. Nothing moves until they do.

Not a generic CRM retrofitted for project sales — built specifically for how rep agencies actually operate. ## Solution Overview ### One place for every project. From early design through award and shipment, everything lives in a single system. ### Quotes organized across all bidders. Multiple contractors, multiple manufacturers — handled cleanly under one project. ### Every stakeholder tied to the job. Architects, designers, engineers, contractors, distributors — all connected. ### Execution stays connected to the work. Quotes, orders, shipments, and changes stay tied to the original project. ### One system across your entire agency. From specification through revenue, every team works from the same platform. ### Support specification and demand generation. Coordinate outreach, events, and campaigns tied directly to your projects and accounts. ## How a lighting project actually runs in Baucore 1 Projects come in early — before the bid. From design teams, spec activity, or project feeds. 2 Your position is established during design. Specs, basis of design, and alternates take shape. 3 Quotes go out across multiple bidders. Contractors and distributors request pricing on the same job. 4 The job moves through award and execution. Orders, changes, and substitutions happen as the project progresses. 5 Everything ties back to revenue. Shipments and commissions connect to the original project and quotes. 6 No handoffs. No re-entry. No lost context between stages. ## Upcoming on this topic [View all events](/events) [ ![Your Inbox Is Running Your Agency](/images/events/your-inbox-is-running-your-agency.png) Webinar US ## Your Inbox Is Running Your Agency How lighting agencies turn incoming emails and attachments into organized, quote-ready and customer-service work — without adding administrative headcount at the same rate.
