BidIntell scores every invite 0–100, weighted to your trade, region, and client history. The same job scores differently for different shops — so GO, REVIEW, or PASS is the call for your business, not a generic read on the PDF.
Once the PDF lands in your inbox, you're on your own — no data, no history, no system learning from your decisions. That's the gap.
Every invite gets the same treatment because there's no data telling you which match your business. Your best estimators waste hours on projects that were never a fit.
→ wasted estimating hours, missed winnable workYou submit and hear nothing. No insight into what would have won, no way to know if you were priced right or competing against 10 other subs.
→ every lost bid should teach you somethingWin or lose, the knowledge stays in someone's head. Nothing tracks which clients respond, which project types you win, or where to focus your time.
→ your bid history should be working for youEvery bid you analyze and every outcome you record feeds your intelligence engine. It gets smarter about your business over time.
Upload a PDF or forward the invite email. BidIntell pulls scope, contract terms, and risk flags — then scores it against your profile in seconds.
Your BidIndex Score (0–100) weighs project fit, client relationship, location, and competitive pressure — tuned to your trade and bid history.
Record won, lost, ghosted, or passed. Each decision feeds your engine — future scores get sharper as your history grows.
If you receive bid invites and have to decide which are worth your time and resources, BidIntell is built for you.
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, drywall, painting, flooring — any trade bidding commercial work. Analyze invites, track outcomes, build intelligence around your win patterns.
Building material distributors who quote commercial projects. Know which opportunities match your product lines, delivery radius, and client relationships.
Reps submitting pricing on behalf of manufacturers. Track which specs get selected, which GCs and architects value your products, and where to focus.
An HVAC contractor with a 50-mile radius and an electrician across the state should never get the same recommendation on the same job. BidIntell weights every bid the way you prioritize.
Won, lost, ghosted, passed, or never pursued — BidIntell tracks every outcome and captures why. Over time, patterns emerge: which project types you win, which clients respond, where your sweet spot really is.
Most software is as smart on day one as it ever gets. BidIntell is different — every bid you analyze, outcome you track, and client you rate feeds your own scoring engine. Your recommendations sharpen the longer you use it, tuned to your trade, your clients, and your market.
The BidIndex is a fit score — not a win probability. It's a triage tool: spend time on bids worth chasing, skip the ones that aren't.
In Settings → Scoring, every contractor tunes how much each factor counts toward their BidIndex. Push weight to what matters for your shop; the four must add up to 100. That's why the same bid scores differently for two companies.
Distance from your office to the site vs. the service radius you set. Closer scores higher — crew mobilization, supervision, and daily logistics favor work near base. If location doesn't matter for you, its weight redistributes automatically.
Matches scope language against your good/bad keywords, plus contract risk detection. Clause patterns like pay-if-paid, unlimited lien waivers, and compressed schedules are flagged and can apply a penalty based on your risk tolerance.
Looks up the named client against your Clients list. Uses your actual win rate if you've worked together, your star rating if you've rated them, or a default for unknowns. Your history is private to your account.
Checks whether the scope actually includes your trade, via CSI MasterFormat section codes — reading spec headers, drawing sheet prefixes (M-, P-, E-, FP-), material keywords, and invitation scope. Section-level matching (09 65 00) is far more precise than division-level.
These cutoffs are defaults, too. Set your own GO / REVIEW / PASS thresholds — and your capacity setting shifts them automatically: in aggressive mode borderline bids lean toward REVIEW, in slow mode the bar tightens.
