“Before using Databid, we had hoped Hospitals and Universities would reach out to us with an invite to pre-qualify or bid. With Databid’s Company Tracking Tool, we are instantly notified anytime a company we’d like to work with shows any project activity.”

Background
 
For over three decades, Merit Contractors has been a leader in the construction industry and the choice of demanding clients across South Central Ontario. With unparalleled experience and expertise in managing the full range of commercial, industrial and institutional building projects. Merit has left their stamp on some of the most impressive buildings in the Golden Horseshoe and surrounding regions.
 
At Merit, we enjoy the challenge that comes from constructing buildings that stand out above the crowd. Our ability to meet these challenges comes from the team approach we employ on all our jobs, the knowledge and experience we have gathered throughout the years and the perceptive attention to detail we initiate as we bring life to what previously existed only in our clients imagination.
 
The flexibility of services that Merit provides has allowed us to stay atop the construction industry. Whether you are contemplating interior or exterior renovations to an existing building or are planning a new state of the art facility, Merit has the ability to adjust its focus to suit your needs while still providing the same level of quality and dedication the company is known for.
 
Problem
 
Wasted time and Missed Opportunities
 
Prior to DataBid, the Merit team was using multiple sources to identify and track projects. This resulted in many hours spent checking multiple sites.
 
As if toggling from one site to the next wasn't enough trouble; inevitably, Merit would hear about a project they knew nothing about. Considering their core account base was with Universities and Hospitals, it was critical they never missed any of these opportunities when they presented themselves.
 
What it came down to: Merit Contractors needed a tool that enabled its team to work more efficiently and safe guard against missed opportunities.
 
 
 
 
Solution
 
DataBid's Company Tracking Tool
 
An estimator on the Merit Team was keenly aware of the need Merit had. After doing some research, he found DataBid's Free Trial and brought it to the attention of the Sr. Partner.
 
When the estimating team gave DataBid a shot, they were immediately impressed by the following capabilities:
 
Filtered Search results to only include the exact types of projects they were interested in.
 
The ability to share projects with other reps on the team with DataBid's Project Share Tool.
 
Insights into all relevant data on Project leads such as bid dates, pre-bid meeting info, size and scope, trades needed, project documents, and all the key players involved such as owner, architect, engineer, complete bidders lists, and bid results.
 
Full details on the companies they want to work with. DataBid includes all the key contacts with emails and mobile numbers whenever possible. You can even see all other projects a company is currently involved in as well as past project history. With DataBid company Tracking turned On, all new alerts are sent right to your inbox.

"The platform was designed for the user and is very efficient at what it does. What used to take me plenty a time per week to search for upcoming projects etc. has now been reduced to just a couple of minutes due to the streamlined service DataBid has created. I never miss a bid opportunity and am able to check results very quickly on bids that have been turned in.  Very pleased with DataBid and looking forward to years of a valued relationship."
