TurboBid users are spread all over the country. Every area has their own way of doing things. The material and assemblies that are used are wide and varied. That is why we made it very easy to create new items and assemblies within TurboBid's database. You can easily add new items as needed as well as create new assemblies that you may need. We have included a copy feature that allows you to copy an assembly and then simply tweak the new assembly as needed.

TurboPricer - Vendor & Average Market Price Material Update Service

TurboPricer dramatically speeds up the estimating process by connecting TurboBid to your selected vendors pricing data in real time.

When you've completed an estimate, simply click on the TurboPricer button in TurboBid and a list containing the items in the estimate is electronically sent to each of your selected vendors. The list is instantly matched to your vendor's pricing file and within seconds the items in TurboBid are updated to reflect your current vendor pricing.

After each update, an exception list is generated. If your vendor does not carry an item in the estimate, the exception report will display a list of similar items that your supply house does carry. Detailed information is provided to allow you to quickly add the alternate items to TurboBid's database. After you have added the alternate items, simply perform a mass substitution that will switch out the old item with the new item in every applicable assembly in TurboBid's entire database.

You can also choose to view a detailed list that will display alternates for every item in the estimate. This provides an excellent way to easily expand your item database to include additional material choices for your vendor. Your vendor pricing is displayed for the original items, as well as the alternates, so that you can quickly identify which of the items that your vendor carries offer the lowest cost.

You can also choose to update the items in TurboBid to reflect the average market price. This is a great way to update your material prices in the event that your vendor is not available for the update service.
