# Doc2Bid > Doc2Bid is an AI-powered SaaS platform that automatically extracts, organizes, and compares subcontractor bid data into a clean, web-based spreadsheet so general contractors can level and review bids in minutes instead of hours. ## What Doc2Bid Does - Ingests subcontractor bid documents — PDFs, scanned files, and digital submissions - Extracts key data points: pricing, scope coverage, exclusions, inclusions, alternates, unit prices, timelines, and contact details - Presents every bid in a structured, side-by-side comparison (bid tabulation / bid leveling) - Replaces hours of manual bid tab review with minutes of automated analysis ## What Doc2Bid Is NOT - NOT a marketplace or bid solicitation platform — it does not connect general contractors with subcontractors or help subs find projects - NOT a plan room, bid board, or project listing service - NOT estimating software — it augments the bid review and leveling phase of preconstruction, it does not replace estimating tools ## Who It's For - General contractors (GCs) — primary buyer - Construction managers (CMs) - Estimators and preconstruction teams ## How Doc2Bid Differs From Competitors Unlike marketplace and bid-solicitation platforms such as BuildingConnected (Autodesk), iSqFt/ConstructConnect, PlanHub, and BidClerk — which focus on connecting GCs with subcontractors before bids are received — Doc2Bid owns the post-bid-receipt workflow: tabulation, scope leveling, and analysis. It overlaps functionally with bid management tools like SmartBid and Procore's bid module but adds AI-powered data extraction those tools lack. ## Core Workflow 1. Upload bid documents directly into the platform 2. Automatic extraction pulls pricing, scope, timelines, exclusions, and contact details 3. Review and compare all bids side by side in a sortable, filterable spreadsheet ## Key Benefits - Hours saved per bid cycle versus manual data entry - All bids in one view — no flipping between files and emails - Reduced risk through structured data that surfaces scope gaps and inconsistencies - Cloud-based — no installation, accessible from anywhere ## Journal The Doc2Bid Journal publishes articles on construction technology, bid management, project estimating, and lessons learned from automating the bid review process. - Journal Index: https://doc2bid.com/journal/ ## Links - Homepage: https://doc2bid.com - How It Works: https://doc2bid.com/#how-it-works - Request Access: https://doc2bid.com/#request-access - Application: https://app.doc2bid.com - Sitemap: https://doc2bid.com/sitemap.xml ## Contact - Email: info@doc2bid.com - Phone: (928) 362-2243 ## Legal - Privacy Policy: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/45234118 - Cookie Policy: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/45234118/cookie-policy
