Rather than spending what could be weeks putting together a spec, now with Canoe already having qualified/vetted/negotiated the contract with the vendor, they can go in and choose what they're looking to get. Some of these specs could be 25 page documents. Being able to streamline that process and not spend time putting together something is a more efficient way to do it.
