Win and lose

What wins in printing, signage and promotional.

The same few things decide most bids in this trade. BotBid keeps each one in front of the person who owns it.

What wins

  • Specifications matched for stock, size, color and finish
  • Proof and sample schedules that fit the deadline
  • Delivery to every listed location

Common traps

  • A paper or material spec that does not match your supplier
  • Samples that must arrive before the due date
  • Election and event deadlines that cannot move

What BotBid watches

  • The requirements matrix lists each specification and sample requirement
  • Pre-flight checks the package for samples, forms and signatures
  • Bid plans work back from sample delivery as well as the bid due date

Printing, signage and promotional questions

Can BotBid track samples as a separate deadline?

Yes. Add the sample delivery as a plan step with its own date and proof. Pre-flight checks it before the Ready lock.

Can a short quote still get a full plan?

Yes. Plans scale to the bid. A small quote may have a handful of steps; a large RFP many more.

Who approves the price, signature and submission?

Always a person on your team with the right to do it. BotBid prepares and checks; it never sets a final price, signs or hands a bid in.
