Invenire helps growing electrical and mechanical contractors build the purchasing systems that keep scope creep, un-leveled bids, and price swings from quietly eating your margin.
Book a 20-minute callMargin rarely leaks on the big decisions. It leaks in the buying no one owned — a vague scope, a verbal order, a bid never truly compared.
Nine of ten projects finish over budget. Un-owned purchasing is a leading cause.
When bids aren't leveled, the "cheaper" one just excluded what the other included.
Copper, steel, and gear swing hard. Without a plan, that lands on you.
Most firms start small, prove the value in dollars, then decide how far to take it.
A fast look at where your margin is leaking — with a dollar figure on each fix.
I stand up the purchasing system and leave it running in your hands.
Part-time procurement leadership — accountable to the outcome, not just a report.
Twenty minutes on where buying hurts. No pitch.
I find the leak and put a number on it.
Templates and controls around how your team really works.
Your people run it. I stay on only if it earns its keep.
Run purchasing for a Construction & Property Management division and designed the plan to grow it into a full unit.
Built the scoring matrix and ran a fleet buy end to end — six-figure savings, fully documented.
Made supplier performance measurable and the process repeatable.
Turned scattered files into one source of truth people actually used.
Invenire is led by Michelle Avila, a procurement specialist with nearly nine years across public-sector construction, healthcare, automotive, and education. The name is Latin — to find, to discover — the root of the word inventory.
The idea is simple: find the leak, build the system, and hand you something your team can run without me. Growing contractors don't need a six-figure procurement executive. They need someone who has built these systems before to build one for them — properly, once.
A 20-minute call, no pitch. If there's a leak worth fixing, I'll tell you — and if there isn't, I'll tell you that too.
