Your literature, from you
Send your current set and we index it from the source, instead of assembling it from whatever is scattered across distributor portals and old emails.
Partner with SubPro
Be findable at the moment somebody submits your product.
A contractor assembling a submittal has a spec section naming your product and a deadline. They need your current data sheet, your safety data sheet, and sometimes a shop drawing, at the revision the job is being built to. If that takes twenty minutes to find, the path of least resistance is an or-equal substitution. SubPro is where that search happens.
The moment that matters
Specified is not the same as submitted.
Getting written into a specification is the win your reps work for. It is not the end of the job. Between the spec and the installed product sits a submittal, and a submittal needs your literature attached to it, current, legible, and matched to the right model. That step is where a specified product quietly becomes a substituted one.
The contractor doing it is not evaluating your brand. They are trying to close out a package before a deadline, and the version of your data sheet that turns up first is the version that goes in. Being easy to find at that moment protects the spec position you already paid to win.
What a partnership is
You send it once. We keep it findable.
Revisions do not go stale
Tell us when something supersedes and the old sheet comes down. A contractor never attaches last year's revision to this year's submittal.
A named route for fixes
Something wrong, missing, or out of date gets to a person who can change it, without a contact form and a wait.
You see what they see
Your entry, exactly as a contractor finds it: which products are covered, which document kinds are on hand, and where the gaps are.
Both directions
What we get out of it.
Worth saying plainly, because a partnership where only one side benefits does not last. Documents that come straight from a manufacturer are current, complete, and matched to the right model. Documents we assemble ourselves are none of those things by default, and every hour spent verifying one is an hour not spent building the library out.
So this is a trade. You get your literature in front of a contractor at the one moment it decides whether your product goes in or gets substituted. We get a library that is right because the people who wrote the documents handed them to us.
Partnership questions.
What do you need from us?
A current set of your published literature and a way to hear about revisions. Most partners send a catalog export or a link to their literature library, and tell us when something is superseded. That is the whole ask.
What do you get out of this?
A better library. Documents that come straight from a manufacturer are current, complete, and correctly matched to the right model, which is the difference between a library a contractor trusts and one they check twice. We would rather have your literature from you than find it ourselves.
Will you tell us which contractors are specifying our products?
No, and we could not if we wanted to. Spec books are deleted once the deliverable is built, and nothing derived from one is kept, sold, or shared. There is no record here of who put what on a submittal log. Document rights sets out the full commitment.
Do you change our documents?
No. A document is indexed as you published it. We do not edit it, re-typeset it, or strip your branding, and it keeps your name on it and a link back to where it came from.
Can we have something corrected or removed?
Yes, and partners get a named route rather than a contact form. Document rights covers the process for anyone, partner or not.
Who do we talk to?
Write to partners@sub-pro-ai.com with your company and the product lines you care about. The founder ran construction projects for twenty years and will be the one who answers.
Start here
Go and look at your own entry first.
Open the library, find your company, and see what is there. If it is thin, or out of date, or missing the lines you care most about, that is worth a conversation. If it is already complete, tell us and we will say so.
