If you have the Advanced or Comprehensive Versions of HeavyBid and don’t know what the title is referring to stop what you are doing and get this set up. It takes 10 minutes to connect and once you grasp all the features of Insights you will be amazed. At the recent UGM in all of my classes I taught probably 5% of the users have set it up. It might have been less and frankly it is kinda shocking to me. Here are some features:

  • Remote reports without logging into HeavyBid
  • Map of estimate locations
  • Estimates analyzed per custom and preset Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
  • Search across estimates for an activity or biditem to copy
  • Get historical costs
  • Get historical bid prices

I might be missing some features but this is enough. If you regularly copy from other estimates the time savings can be significant and when you equate time to dollars it is even more significanter (I made that word up). Last word on this – your competitor is going to set this up and start reaping the benefits. Don’t get left behind. Call Tech Support today and just say “I want to get Insights up and running”. Then go to HCSS Academy and watch the following videos on how Insights can be part of your estimating tools.
