Bid Management / Procurement
BuildTopia streamlines procurement by managing the entire bidding process in the Bidding and Contracting
Module. By utilizing the Web to efficiently distribute project information and bid packages to your trades, costly
plan distributions are eliminated. Trade partners and suppliers can view the entire bid package online and
quickly decide whether to bid on your project without the need for a trip to your office. After reviewing your bid
package, trade partners enter their bid values electronically saving you time and effort maintaining your
purchasing database. BuildTopia also features tools to easily track quotes to generate a total cost for each
plan, option, task and item.
