Your bid process, automated.

Taffy learns exactly how you bid, and builds the tools to let you automate it.

First tool in two weeks. No rollout, no training.

Bid day is pure chaos

Estimators shouldn't be data entry clerks Scope gaps cost a lot

We (yes, real humans) sit with your team, watch how a bid gets done, and build the tools to automate it.

Taffy vs Bid Day
3×sub bids per trade Invites and follow-ups go out on their own, so more subs actually bid. Chasing subs by phone all week
2×bids submitted Estimators stop doing data entry and start bidding. Same team, twice the work. Passing on jobs you could have won
2weeks to your first tool We sit with your estimators, find the biggest time sink, and fix it. A year-long software rollout

What we built for

We watched for two weeks, then shipped a new tool every week or two. Each one runs on its own. A person still checks the parts that matter.

  1. weeks 1 and 2

    We sat at their desks

    We sat with Ridgeline's estimators through three bids and wrote down where the hours went. Mostly chasing subs and retyping numbers.

    Nothing built yet, on purpose.

  2. week 2

    One inbox for every bid invite

    New invites land in one place with the plans and due date already attached. Taffy suggests bid or pass, based on the jobs Ridgeline has won before.

    Taffy handles
    Collecting invites, pulling out the plans and due dates.
    A human checks
    The chief estimator makes the final bid or pass call.
  3. week 4

    Subs get invited for you

    Taffy invites Ridgeline's subs, sends them the plans, and keeps following up until enough of them have said yes.

    Taffy handles
    Every invite, reminder, and follow-up.
    A human checks
    An estimator approves the sub list, and calls the few subs who matter most.
  4. week 5

    Plan changes, spotted for you

    When the drawings change, Taffy finds exactly what's different and tells the subs it affects.

    Taffy handles
    Finding the changes and writing the heads-up.
    A human checks
    An estimator okays it before any sub sees it.
  5. week 7

    Sub bids, side by side

    Every sub's bid gets lined up in one sheet, so it's easy to see who included what and who left something out.

    Taffy handles
    Reading the bids, lining them up, flagging the gaps.
    A human checks
    An estimator sorts out each gap with the sub.
  6. week 9

    The proposal writes itself

    The final numbers, Ridgeline's fee, and their usual wording come together into a finished proposal.

    Taffy handles
    The draft and all the math.
    A human checks
    The chief estimator reads it and signs. Nothing goes out without that.
