If you’re looking for ways to cut down the amount of time and hassle of bid communications – taking a process that can take days down to just minutes — you owe it to yourself to take a good hard look at the upgraded version of our online bid communication and document management tool, Sub-Hub.
Sub-Hub is a simple and elegant web-based application that allows anyone to send bid notifications from a private address book via email or fax. Once the ITB’s have been sent out, Sub-Hub collects, organizes and tracks responses from subcontractors, and you can decide to distribute paper bid sets from your offices, have your local repro shop handle the distribution, or use digital plans for downloading, digital takeoffs, and more.
Recent upgrades add functionality to the bidding process and the application itself, including the ability to create your own projects without any intervention from a hosting reprographer. “Having the ability to create and upload our own project documents, especially addenda, is a huge time saver,” said Monte Griffin , Estimator for Wells Construction, Inc.
Customers have also been fans of being able to quickly upload their own digital plans, specifications, addenda and other documents, and having greater flexibility in filtering contact records for selecting bidders.
The Sub-Hub Team posted a quick primer video on YouTube and new release notes on sub-hub.com to help you get familiar with the new features and functionality.

There are also new features that allow users to publish, un-publish, and republish projects as project workflows change, and even track a sub’s willingness to bid. In addition, customers can now choose from three different levels of access for different roles in their company, and control who can see or manage what parts of their project.
Check out the video for more detail on the new upgrade to Sub-Hub, and then start bidding faster, better, and win more jobs!
