Bid Support for Plumbing businesses
Drafts quotes on your own cost baselines and flags any thin-margin job before it ever leaves the office.

- Material markup: 55%
- Target margin: 30%
- Minimum job: $150
Industry ballparks — Automic Trades pre-fills these for your plumbing shop, then tunes to your books.
What the Bid Support does
- Generates quotes from your labor rate, material markup, and margin targets
- Flags jobs below your target margin before they are sent
- Proposes line-item adjustments when a bid is too aggressive or too light
- Tracks which quotes were accepted or declined alongside the margin you set on each
- Routes customer questions about a quote back through Customer Communication
Why it helps plumbing owners
Independent shops quote inconsistently because the person doing it varies. Bid Support gives every quote the same math, the same margin discipline, and the same send-speed — which means fewer thin-margin jobs and fewer lost leads from slow quotes.
