How it was done · told by Bargain Bea

Fresh prices and every bid in one place

  1. 1

    The problem

    Material prices change weekly, and bid invites came in by email with no single place to track them.

  2. 2

    The bees make a plan

    Live Material keeps the shop's own price list current for estimates. Bid Board tracks every bid invite, its due date and its status.

  3. 3

    Build

    • Built the shop's price list with update tools
    • Linked prices into assemblies and estimates
  4. 4

    Test

    Built a bid tracker with due dates and status

  5. 5

    Where it stands

    Both modules are built. Bid Board is used inside our own electrical company only.

The technology we used

Named, because we really use it.

  • TypeScript
  • PostgreSQL
