Automated Won Bid Kickoff Checklists

Every morning, WebRun checks Conest IntelliBid for bids newly marked won, reads each estimate's scope and key quantities, creates a project kickoff folder and checklist in Google Drive covering permits, material, labor, and schedule, and posts your team a Slack summary so the estimating-to-field handoff never drops a step.

In short

How do I create a kickoff checklist when a cabling bid is won automatically?

Every morning, WebRun checks Conest IntelliBid for bids newly marked won, reads each estimate's scope and key quantities, and builds a project kickoff folder and checklist in Google Drive covering permits, material, labor, and schedule. It posts your team a Slack summary with the checklist link, so the estimating-to-field handoff runs the same way every time.

  • Every won job starts with the same complete checklist
  • Long-lead material and submittals surface on day one
  • The estimating-to-field handoff never drops a step

Questions, answered

Does it change the estimate in Conest IntelliBid?

No. WebRun only reads the won estimate's scope and quantities. It builds the kickoff folder and checklist in Google Drive, so nothing in your estimating file is edited.

How does it know a bid was won?

It reads the status on each estimate in Conest IntelliBid each morning and acts only on bids newly marked won or awarded, so kickoffs start the day a job comes in.

Can it customise the checklist to our process?

Yes. WebRun follows the kickoff template you give it, so the folder and checklist match how your team runs a cabling job from award to first day on site.

Put this on autopilot.
