We all know that more people are competing for fewer projects these days, so making sure your process is as efficient, fast and effective is critical.

Late last year we upgraded our Sub-Hub bid communication tool with tools that turbocharge productivity, make last minute changes easy and fast to implement, and create more ways for your bid or bid management efforts to pay off.

Three new features are attracting the most attention as more and more contractors sign-up for the service.

1. Self-publishing – Create your own projects and upload documents directly from your computer; no outside intervention, document indexing, or handling is necessary.
2. Total flexibility in document format – TIFF, PDF, DWF and more; flexible document formats allow you to use almost any take-off tool and costing application; it also makes simple exchanges, RFI’s or other collaborative activities involving marked up documents easy, fast and efficient.
3. Upload/Downloads – Posting documents to your project, or downloading drawings for review and bidding is fast, clean, and simple.

Sub-Hub allows anyone to send or receive bid notifications from a private address book via email or fax, and share documents in an easy-to-use and effective online application. You can visit the Sub-Hub website here. To find out more about how you can use Sub-Hub, or for a demonstration, contact your local sales exec or request information here.

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!
