DETAILED OVERVIEW
Turn energy tenders into a decision, proposal and verification command center
LAL Energy combines energy, cost, proposal, approval, risk, AI verification and audit workflows in a Tender 360 decision environment.
The existing product base includes tender card, buyer/administration information, finance, items, tasks, notes, documents, calendar, AI, KPIs, risk, Bid/No-Bid, comparison and proposal components.
Energy & Cost
Tracks consumption, tender quantity, estimated cost and proposal/margin context together.
Bid / No-Bid
Connects decision support with proposal preparation and risk flow.
AI Verifier
Finding → Evidence → Risk → Recommended Action.
Workflow
Definition, version, node, transition, task, assignment and record binding.
Audit
Process timeline and execution trace.

CAPABILITIES
Energy, Cost, Bid/No-Bid and Proposal
Energy
- Energy consumption / tender quantity view.
- Consumption context for electricity-supply scenarios.
- Scenario flow for bringing Excel/document data into the tender card.
Cost
- Estimated-cost field.
- Cost-sheet / item-based costing context.
- Currency-aware cost vs proposal comparison.
- Margin view.
- Comparison between finance layer and proposal layer.
Decision & Proposal
- AI-assisted Bid / No-Bid.
- Proposal creation.
- Verification between proposal total and cost sheet.
- Pre-submission detection of incorrect/mismatched totals.
- Stop submission and route into correction/approval flow when a proposal error is found.
CAPABILITIES
AI Verification — Verifier Approach
1. Finding
- Show the detected mismatch or issue in a clear sentence.
- For example, a mismatch between cost sheet and proposal total.
2. Evidence
- Show the cost, proposal, document or field values supporting the finding.
- Present source records in a comparable form.
- Keep the source document/calculation/field context traceable.
3. Risk
- Risk class such as Critical / Financial / Proposal Validity.
- Risk score visible in Tender 360.
- Carry risk information into submission or approval decisions.
4. Recommended Action
- Control action such as stopping proposal submission.
- Workflow action such as routing to finance/tender manager approval.
- Re-run verification after correction.
CAPABILITIES
Workflow & Approval Management
Process Definition
- Process definitions.
- Workflow versions.
- Node structure.
- Transition structure.
- Form/page binding.
- Active/published-version approach.
Authorization
- Role / unit / person assignments.
- Users see only tasks/actions allowed by runtime.
- When no assignment exists, process info may remain visible while action controls are hidden.
- Use existing assignment mechanisms instead of hard-coded user/role IDs.
Record Binding
- Workflow instance bound to the real tender_id.
- record_id = tender_id approach.
- module_code=TENDERS / page_key=tenders / action_key=edit / record_id_parameter=id binding model.
- Form/page binding opens the same tender card.
- Auto-start only after the first successful save produces the real tender_id.
- No new instance on update or on clicking New Tender.
- Runtime approach preventing accidental second instance for the same tender.
Task & Transition
- Open the same tender record from approval tasks such as FIRST_APPROVAL.
- Open the same tender record from correction tasks such as REVISION_TASK.
- Server-side authorization for runtime-defined transitions.
- Completed tasks cannot be executed twice.
CAPABILITIES
Process Timeline & Audit
Timeline
- Tender ingested.
- Documents parsed.
- Finance costing completed.
- AI verification executed.
- Mismatch / critical alert generated.
- Correction applied.
- Manager approval.
- Proposal ready to submit.
Audit
- Workflow instance status.
- Task and transition trace.
- Process trail of who performed which step.
- Process and AI events visible together in Tender 360.
- Server-side tenant scoping through company_id / user_id approach.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is LAL Energy only a tender list?+
No. The target product story uses Tender 360 to combine energy, cost, proposal, documents, tasks, approval, risk, AI and audit in one command center.
How is AI output presented?+
AI verification uses a four-part format: Finding, Evidence, Risk and Recommended Action.
Is a customer’s internal procedure assumed in advance?+
No. The workflow model is parametric and is adapted to the organization’s actual roles, approvals and operating model.
How is workflow bound to a tender?+
Workflow binds to the real tender_id; the record_id=tender_id relationship keeps the process instance connected to the same tender record.
