The first AI agent system for public tender applications in Croatia

Win more tenders

From finding the right tender to building the application checklist, TOP works through the entire process with you: it reads the documentation, extracts requirements, tracks deadlines, suggests references, and guides your team to a submission-ready application.

Problem

Public tenders are not lost only on price. They are lost in the process.

The most common mistakes happen before submission: documentation is reviewed too late, requirements are misread, references are not ready, amendments are missed, and the team lacks a shared view of what is still outstanding.

Too much manual searching

Teams lose hours across sources that no one tracks systematically.

100+ page documentation

Key requirements stay buried inside dense tender documents.

Unclear requirements and deadlines

Critical deadlines and obligations are easy to misread or miss.

References and CVs are not ready

Applications stall because required materials are not prepared in advance.

Tasks are coordinated through email

Responsibilities are scattered and no one has the full picture.

No application readiness status

It is hard to see what is complete and what is still missing.

A new way

TOP turns every relevant tender into a clear operating plan.

You do not just get a notification that a tender exists. You get a view of requirements, deadlines, risks, required documents, recommended references, and the tasks your team needs to complete before submission.

Old way: portals, inboxes, manual reading, Excel lists, deadline panic.
