Auftragsradar

German to English Bus/Financial Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs
I'm still on this CV - probably the last one I do, and am stuck for a translation of this term.
Here's the context:

XXXX hat uns bei entscheidenden Projekten unseres Unternehmens, auch am Kern unseres Produktes u.a. bei der Einführung und stetigen Anpas¬sung der XXX Business-Pakete, der Optimierung des Einstellprozesses von Ausschreibungen, dem Registrierungsprozess, der Weiterentwicklung des Gebührenmodells und der Optimierung (inkl. Produktmarketing) des Auftragsradars für Handwerker & Dienstleister stets zur vollsten Zufriedenheit beraten und unterstützt.


Okay, I know what an Auftrag is, and I know what a radar is, and I can IMAGINE what this does, but translate it? HELP!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "The client opted for this suggestion, as the term does have something to do with quality control, verification and guarantees for the contracter. albeit, without 'service'. Thank you."

IMO, 'job/contract monitoring' suggests quality control.

Yes, that is very close to what I had thought - job scanning- which sounded awful, this is much better! Thank you Sir Andrew!

contact search engine

In plain language, it sounds like a gizmo for finding contacts, i.e. clients/customers - a programme designed specifically for electricians, plumbers, gas fitters and co. looking for customers.
