Before SamSearch
For a POS company, almost every solicitation is noise until it is not
Most federal and SLED notices have nothing to do with retail point-of-sale. The few that do are easy to bury under thousands of keyword hits across SAM.gov plus 50,000+ state, county, and municipal sources. Manual portal watching either floods the desk or misses the one RFQ that actually fits.
How they use SamSearch
