# Guides – Streckenheld step by step

> Guides to every Streckenheld feature: document reconciliation, BOQ analysis, RFQs, offer comparison, purchase order approval, document inbox and more.

Streckenheld is an AI platform for construction companies and building-material buyers. It automates the tedious, error-prone work around supplier documents, framework contracts, purchase orders and site coordination, so your team can focus on building.

These guides walk you through each feature: what it does, how it works and who it is for. For background on the terms involved, see our [knowledge articles](https://www.streckenheld.com/knowledge.md).

- [AI Reconciliation for Invoices, Delivery Notes, and Orders](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/ai-reconciliation.md): Automatically match supplier invoices against delivery notes, orders, and order confirmations. Catch overcharges, missing items, and pricing mistakes before you pay.
- [AI Procurement and Contract Compliance](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/ai-procurement.md): Turn framework contracts into a live price catalog. Streckenheld checks every invoice and order against contract pricing and payment terms to catch overcharges automatically.
- [Quote Requests (RFQs) and AI Comparison](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/quote-requests.md): Send a single bill of materials to multiple suppliers, collect their offers, and let the AI compare them side-by-side — including offers received outside the system. Accepted offers turn into framework contracts in one click.
- [Bill of Quantities (BOQ) Analysis with AI](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/boq-analysis.md): Upload a bill of quantities and let AI extract every position, summarize each section, and flag gaps, risks, and change-order traps before you send it out. Turn a BOQ into a ready-to-send request for quotation in one step.
- [AI Budget Estimate from a Bill of Quantities](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/budget-estimate.md): Turn a bill of quantities into a priced budget in minutes. AI prices every position from your own contracts and past offers, falls back to regional market prices, and shows its assumptions — then export it as CSV, XLSX, or GAEB.
- [Prepare an RFQ and Split It Across Suppliers](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/rfq-preparation.md): Turn a bill of quantities into a request for quotation and send each supplier only the positions you want quoted. Suppliers submit prices or a PDF through a link — no account needed — and every offer lands in one comparison.
- [Compare Supplier Offers, Negotiate, and Pick the Best](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/offer-comparison.md): Line up every supplier offer in one price matrix, let AI recommend the best supplier per category, simulate negotiations, and turn the winning offer into a contract. Fair, fast, itemized offer comparison for construction procurement.
- [Purchase Order Approval and Workflow](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/order-approval.md): Place purchase orders directly with your suppliers, route them through approval, and track delivery status from a single dashboard.
- [AI Assistant Chat — On the Web, on WhatsApp, and by Email](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/ai-assistant.md): Ask questions about your contracts, invoices, deliveries, and orders in plain language. The Streckenheld assistant answers from your own data — in the web app, on WhatsApp, or by email at ki@streckenheld.com.
- [Document Inbox — Email, WhatsApp, and Supplier Integrations](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/document-inbox.md): A single inbox for every supplier document. Forward by email, send by WhatsApp, or receive automatically from hundreds of integrated suppliers and retailers.
- [Analytics Dashboard for Construction Spend](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/analytics.md): Track expenses, orders, and supplier performance across every construction site. Spot overspend, supplier drift, and seasonal patterns before they hurt margin.
- [Team Management with Roles and Site-Level Access](https://www.streckenheld.com/guides/team-management.md): Invite your team, assign roles, and scope access to specific construction sites. Site managers, accountants, and owners each see exactly what they need.
