German term or phrase: Auftragsradar
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!

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.
