  • List View is available to CCPI Professional subscribers only. This project view provides you with an overview of your entire bid pipeline, including what stage each project is at in your bidding process and a match score about how well they align to your business' capabilities, location, etc. Use this view to quickly compare projects and ensure that your business development efforts are focused where they need to be. In this view, you can also review and export projects your company has opted to not bid on or archived projects for reporting and historical purposes.


  • Tab View helps you track and manage your entire bid pipeline. The tabs at the top indicate how many projects you have at each stage of the bidding process, including tracking how many projects you’ve won. Advance projects to the next stage as you complete your initial assessment or assign specific projects to others in your organization. Use this view to also determine when invitations to bid are due so that you can map them to your internal workflows, or to review and get reporting for projects that you opted to not bid on or have archived as part of your reporting on your entire end-to-end business development pipeline.

  • Card View (CCPI Professional Subscribers) is available to CCPI Professional subscribers only. This is your digital bid board, enabling you to see at-a-glance the active projects in your bid pipeline so that you can better communicate and collaborate with your team. Further organize your projects by assigned user, a specific location or building use, or upcoming bid dates using Bid Center’s custom filters. Simple drag-and-functionality also lets you move a card (project) from one stage to another so that your team is always focused on the most important opportunities for your organization.


  • Calendar View helps map all the bid days for the projects in your entire pipeline. Using this view, work backwards from a particular bid day to create an internal project plan or assign work to others in your organization (i.e., estimators) as needed.

...

As a CCPI Professional subscriber, your digital bid board is completely customizable. Configure your Bid Center by applying filters for location, building type or zip code; sorting and/or reordering the columns within your view; and/or choosing your preferred layout. When you’re finished, you can then save that view for future use. The next time you log on, the system will automatically remember your saved preferences, as well as adding any new targets that fit your pre-determined criteria.
