GreenBid is completely customizable. Details like the business name, address, website, and logo can be automatically inserted into each bid the user creates. GreenBid provides easy data entry of client names and information into the app. Users can find clients by typing any part of their name in the Search Clients field. To delete a client from the list, users can swipe the name to the left and press Delete. To restore, users can search for the client’s name and then swipe their name to the left again.
By setting up the business model(s) that best fits the user’s products and services, GreenBid can download the latest available trades with products and services represented by configurable “widgets.” The majority of the downloadable trades come with a pack of standard service offerings as well as hourly entries for businesses that charge on a per-hour basis. Users have the freedom of turning on/off the trades, section, and widgets individually. Users can also submit new trades and custom widgets by filling out a form on the company website. New additions are approved within 24 hours and made quickly available to all users within the GreenBid community.
GreenBid provides simple steps to create an estimate. After searching for the client and tapping on the plus (+) icon, users identify the services and select the quantities. Once completed, GreenBid will automatically generate the estimate, including the calculation of sales tax. From within the app, users can e-mail the estimate instantly to their client. GreenBid also ensures a copy of the estimate is automatically delivered to the user’s business e-mail for their records.
GreenBid is designed to keep a user’s private information and client data secure. All information is stored on the iOS device rather than the GreenBid server so the user can maintain full control of the data. Information can only be shared by backing up the GreenBid database and importing it to another device. For example, in the event the user wants to share client information with a large sales team, he or she simply sets up the business and prices on a single device and then shares the backup via e-mail, AirDrop, or Dropbox. This will provide access to prior clients, estimates, and business settings to each team member. GreenBid also works with most existing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems.
By setting up the optional Stripe account, GreenBid provides users with the ability to charge directly from within the app for services rendered. All major credit cards are accepted and funds are directly deposited into the user’s bank account. Additional transaction fees apply for this service.
