FROM TEAMS USING RADAR

A clearer starting point for the next pursuit.

“Radar cut our pre-pursuit research from a few hours to about twenty minutes. The source links mean I can defend a project in front of leadership.”

BD Director, electrical contractor (Texas)

“We used to piece together county filings and press releases ourselves. Now the team starts every pursuit meeting from the same record.”

Preconstruction Manager, mechanical contractor

“The CSV export goes straight into our CRM. That alone paid for the annual plan.”

Sales lead, equipment supplier

Individual customer experiences; results vary.

Here is one way to use Data Center Radar: find a project, read its recorded stage, and decide what to check next.

Open the free project directory. Search a city that matters to your territory. For this example, we will use Faribault, Minnesota.

Enter Faribault, then select Search. Open the matching public project preview.

Check the location and the recorded stage. In this example, the stage is Planned.

The overview describes supplemental environmental review. Planned does not establish that construction has started or that a bid is open.

The next research question is what the additional review establishes about the proposal. Keep unresolved questions visible before deciding to pursue it.

A research review date tells you when the information was checked. It is not necessarily the date of a project event. Use the linked stage guide for context.
