How it works

Plans to paid, in three moves.

01

Price the job

Plans in. Estimate out. You review every line.

02

Win the work

Send the proposal. Client signs. Schedule's set.

03

Keep the money straight

Bills, invoices, payments — margin updates itself.

Built in

Guarantees, not promises.

Every dollar accounted for

A payment can't exceed the bill. A draw can't exceed the contract.

One budget per job

Never three spreadsheets claiming to be the truth.

Your numbers stay private

Clients and subs see only what you choose.

Good to know

Common questions

Is my project data secure?

Yes. Every record is locked to your company, and clients or subs see only what you choose to share. Signature links are private and tracked.

How is this different from spreadsheets and QuickBooks?

Spreadsheets lose the link between the estimate, the bills, and the margin. VantageBid keeps one record — change a number once and everything downstream updates.

What does it cost?

Pricing isn't public yet. We're onboarding founding teams directly and setting each one up personally — create an account and we'll take it from there.

Do my clients need to install anything?

No. You send an invite, they set a password, and the project opens in their browser — proposals to sign, invoices, selections. You control what they see.

Stop finding out your margin after the job's already closed.

Start with a plan set. We'll turn it into an estimate, a proposal, and a live budget.
