Creating a Bid

What the customer sees

The public bid is branded with your logo and mission statement, clean on any phone, and needs no login. Play the customer below.

  1. Read through the bid exactly as your customer would: line items, totals, deposit, terms.
  2. Type your full name to e-sign and Accept the bid. On a real acceptance, the deposit invoice auto-generates the moment this happens.
  3. Decline with a reason so the owner knows why the job was lost.
  4. Send a question through the built-in chat; it lands in the company's Messages inbox.

{{callout type=”warning”}} Once a bid is accepted you can convert it to a job without re-typing anything. For billing in draws, retention, and close-out, see Progressive Billing and Retention. Your company’s logo and mission statement shown to the customer come from Company Settings; set them up once and they show on every bid, PDF, and invoice payment page automatically.

That’s bids. Next: Plans and Takeoff for the visual measurement tools.
