The bid-to-staffing bridge

Can you afford to staff the work you're chasing?

BidIntell Capacity turns your awarded backlog and weighted bid pipeline into a weekly, role-by-role labor forecast — then shows whether your gross margin can actually carry the crew, PMs, and support staff you'd need.

BidIndex tells you what to chase. Capacity tells you whether you can staff it — and afford it.

HOLD The shortage is real, but gross margin won't yet carry two more PMs — bridge with outside labor until more work is signed.
How it works

Three inputs you already have.

01

Your work, weighted by certainty

Awarded jobs count in full. Pipeline pursuits are discounted by win probability and document confidence — an invite-only tease doesn't move your plan the way a full, reviewed package does.

02

Weekly demand by role vs your bench

Labor templates turn each job into a week-by-week crew curve — installers, foremen, PMs, support — so you see exactly where you're short and where you're carrying idle bench.

03

Hire / hold / bridge — gated by margin

Every recommendation is checked against the money: a hire only fires when gross margin covers the fully-burdened cost. Awarded-but-underfunded gaps say "bridge with outside labor," not "add payroll."

Why it's different

Not a scheduling board. Not an accounting tool. A capacity decision layer for subs.

Built only for subcontractors

Workforce tools are built for general contractors managing crews across projects. This starts from a sub's reality: bid invites, incomplete documents, and the decision of what to pursue.

Starts before the award, not after the schedule

Capacity is a pre-bid input, not a post-award scheduling chore. It answers "should we chase this given who we'd need?" while there's still time to decide.

Models the money, not just headcount

A full chart doesn't mean you can afford it. Capacity puts gross margin against your fixed and semi-fixed labor so a profitable project never quietly creates a company-level labor problem.

Your numbers stay yours

Wages, margins, and pipeline live in your private account, enforced by row-level security. We never sell your data or share it with GCs.
