This article introduces the integration between the project management tool Next and the procurement platform Accurator, which enables you to manage your entire procurement process directly within your project. You'll get an overview of what the integration offers, how Accurator works as a procurement tool for the construction industry, and information about an upcoming webinar where the workflow will be demonstrated live.
Product Update: Next Integrates with Procurement Platform Accurator
At many construction companies, procurement happens separately from the project. Requests, bid comparisons, and vendor reviews are managed outside Next and entered manually afterward—if they're entered at all.
With the integration between Next and Accurator, that changes. The entire procurement process is managed in Accurator and automatically flows into your project in Next, with no manual steps required.
What is Accurator?
Accurator is a procurement platform built for the construction industry by people with hands-on construction project experience. It brings your entire procurement journey into one place, so nothing gets lost in email threads or siloed with one person. Your entire team sees the same information—regardless of who is managing the purchases.
Procurement Becomes Part of Your Project
With the integration between Accurator and Next, your entire procurement process is directly connected to your project. You can see which requests have been sent, which bids have come in, and how they align with your budget.
Requests, bid comparisons, and vendor reviews are managed in Accurator. The results are then automatically transferred to your project in Next—no manual steps required.

Find More Opportunities Through the Marketplace
Accurator also includes a marketplace for subcontractors. The marketplace aggregates active procurement projects from construction companies across the country. You choose which categories to follow and receive notifications when relevant requests are posted—without having to make calls or rely on existing relationships.
Here you can view all active procurement opportunities and create a free account in just a few simple steps.
See It in Action at Our Webinar on April 23
On April 23 from 10:00–11:00 a.m., we're hosting a webinar where we'll walk through the entire workflow live. We're joined by Nabaz Eliassi, founder of Accurator and with extensive procurement experience in specialist roles at Skanska.
We'll demonstrate how to start procurement from both Next and Accurator, how to send requests to multiple vendors, how to receive and compare bids, and how the results sync back to Next for project tracking.
This webinar is designed for anyone working in procurement, project management, or estimating who wants better control—from request to follow-up.
