Short answer
- Comstruct describes itself as «AI agents for construction» (comstruct.com) and calls its offering «one platform for your entire procurement process», from the bill of quantities to the sustainability report (Comstruct, Platform).
- Scalera processes tenders for two roles: manufacturers and dealers who match and offer products (Product Matching), and contractors who distribute items to suppliers and request quotes (Supplier Matching).
- Two things decide it: your role in the tender and the point where the process should end for you.

Who works with which tool?
Comstruct addresses construction companies. Its platform page starts with the bill of quantities that comes to the contractor from the client; estimating explicitly stays with the contractor, and Comstruct steps in afterwards (Comstruct, Platform).
Scalera says it is used by more than 150 manufacturers, dealers and general contractors across Europe (product page). The table shows which role uses which part of Scalera.
| Role | Task | Scalera (source) |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Match BoQ items to own products and bid | Product Matching |
| Dealer | Also spot other brands in the BoQ, suggest own items | FAQ |
| Contractor | Split the BoQ by trade, request supplier quotes | Supplier Matching |
| All | Send results to the ERP via CSV, XML, GAEB or API | Product page |
No Comstruct column: we only describe Scalera. Comstruct information is in the text with sources.
Where the two offerings meet
The overlap is in the contractor's procurement, where a bill of quantities is broken down into requests to suppliers.
On its procurement page, Comstruct describes: upload the BoQ in any file format, the AI splits it into bid packages, suggests bidders from the imported vendor list and consolidates bids from PDF, image, email or x84 into a price sheet with a recommendation. The result goes back to estimating as x84 (Comstruct, Procurement).
Scalera describes in Supplier Matching: analyse the bill of quantities (VOB, NPK, ÖNORM), assign items to suitable suppliers or subcontractors, factor in framework agreements and regional responsibilities, assign plans and attachments, send requests, track responses and send reminders for missing quotes.
How to make the returned quotes comparable is covered in the guides tracking supplier quote responses and bid comparison line by line.
Where the focus differs
After the award: releases, delivery tickets, invoices
After bid comparison, Comstruct lists further steps: master agreements and material releases, digital delivery tickets, invoice matching and sustainability reporting (Comstruct, Platform). According to Comstruct, invoice checking matches line items against digital delivery tickets and checks unit prices against framework contracts (Comstruct, Invoice checking).
scalera.ai does not describe these post-award steps. If most of your effort goes into delivery notes and invoices, that is the question to settle first.
Before the bid: the manufacturer or dealer as bidder
With Product Matching, Scalera has a dedicated area for companies that bid on tenders themselves. According to the product page, Scalera shows the rationale and AI confidence for every product suggestion, detects missing accessories and suggests complementary products.
According to the FAQ, Scalera recognises both your own and competitor products in tenders. Where manufacturers and dealers sit in the construction process is explained in the article AVA software from a supplier perspective.
How to test with a real tender
Feature lists only go so far. A test with your own documents, run the same way for each tool, tells you more:
- Define your role. Are you requesting quotes from suppliers (contractor procurement) or responding to tenders (manufacturer, dealer)? That decides which module you actually test.
- Pick three real files. A clean GAEB BoQ, a scanned PDF and a request that only arrives as an email. This shows how each tool handles your daily work.
- Check ten items by hand. Are assignment, quantities and units right? Record hits and misses per tool in the same list.
- Test the end of the process. What comes out at the end, and does it reach the ERP without retyping? Check format and fields with your IT team.

Frequently asked questions
Is Comstruct a tool for manufacturers responding to tenders?
Comstruct's public pages address contractors and describe their material procurement (as of 14 Nov 2026, comstruct.com). We did not find a dedicated module there for manufacturers bidding on tenders. If this matters to you, ask Comstruct directly.
Can Scalera send price requests to suppliers?
Yes. According to Supplier Matching, Scalera assigns BoQ items to suppliers or subcontractors, sends requests by email, tracks responses and sends reminders for missing quotes. The article automating supplier price requests shows the process step by step.
Does Scalera check delivery notes or invoices?
No, scalera.ai does not describe such features. Scalera covers the tender phase: reading documents, assigning items, requesting or bidding, exporting (product page, Supplier Matching).
Which files does Scalera read?
According to the FAQ: PDFs (scanned and digital), GAEB, Excel/CSV, XML, emails with free text or attachments, and ÖNORM/ONLV. The product page also names NPK.
Is there an integration between Scalera and Comstruct?
Neither vendor publicly describes a direct connection (as of 14 Nov 2026). Scalera exports via CSV, XML, GAEB or API into ERP, CPQ or CRM systems (product page); Comstruct lists connections to construction ERP, DMS and BI tools (comstruct.com).
