Today is Monday September 2nd, 2024 – Labor Day! Millions of Americans are off work, thanks to their employers extending this federal holiday to their teams. An entire nation of individuals who got the workday off today are collectively celebrating getting just an extra 8 hours to themselves. That’s how precious our time is, especially on the job.
It turns out that the more complex and risk burdened your career is, the more you need a break from thinking rather than doing. Engineers can have low physical demands in the workplace, but remain absolutely wiped out mentally by the math, coordination of multiple software options and accountability procedures required to do high quality, accurate work.
Bidtracer is a cloud-based software designed for contractors, manufacturers, and suppliers to manage bidding, project management, and CRM in one place. The app gives engineers more time to think about creative solutions, sustainability, and meeting client goals – instead of managing mounds of documents and missed deadlines.
The gift of time in using a CRM that automates engineering and estimating will change the way you do business with clients, allowing everyone to work more efficiently. It’s a permanent vacation from antiquated procedures and errors caught too late. Here’s what you can look forward to with Bidtracer:
