ESI.info "the first virtual marketplace"

ESI.info appears to be much more than a simple online directory, but rather innovate solutions that help architects and designers on projects and provide manufacturers and suppliers an easy way to access the wider UK Construction market.

ESI.info is the first virtual marketplace for the built environment and industrial sectors! The team is passionate about developing online tools that connect designers, buyers and suppliers throughout the construction supply chain.

Background
ESI.info has evolved from the Built Environment Directories, published by Endat Standard Indexes. Their expertise is in managing construction information and data to help those involved in specifying products and services, find the right suppliers for their building projects.

Features
What makes ESI.info unique is the extent in which the website presents products and services to users, by allowing them to search and compare similar products, based on technical or visual detailing, ensuring the right products and services can be found, shortlisted and selected according to specific design and client briefs.
There are also a number of tools in the MyESI area, providing users with enhanced productivity tools to help them manage information relating to projects.
Project folders- save searches and groups of products organised by your ongoing projects and share this information across the project team, or with clients as an email or as a printed document.
Moodboards- allows designers to visualise how different elements will work together on a project.
Action buttons- Allow users to request quotes, samples or more from multiple companies rather than individually having to send out requests.

Benefits
• At a glance- They provide the tools to compare products across the market from a single source.
• Find the right products and services and save time and money in doing so
• Create folders aligned to projects to easily share with team and clients
• Discover new products through detailed sections covering the wider construction and industrial sectors
• Detailed photography allows project designers and managers to visualise how products will look and assess these at a glance according to their design or client briefs.
