Construction firm
Bidmio is all-in for the job, the crew and the books. It is not a fifth program beside the diary and the invoices.
How to choose a systemThe whole firm
Bidmio is the whole firm, not another program
The quote, the job, the invoice and the books sit on one record. The website and the price estimate have their own pages. Here is what continues from them, and what you can turn off.
This page does not repeat the buying guide or the instructions for the website. It shows the stack the firm stops paying for, and the path from an approved quote to the books.
Three sentences worth remembering
Website and enquiry
The page and the estimate live in Bidmio. A submit becomes an enquiry and a draft quote, not a mail in an inbox.
An estimate that becomes a quoteThe tradesperson's books
The accounting program is included in the subscription. It does not replace the accountant. They can work in the same books.
Accounting in BidmioWhat you can turn off
Each row is a type of subscription, not a competitor's price. Named products live on the comparison pages.
A website on the side
A card someone updates by email stays an island. An enquiry from the Bidmio site is a customer in the same system.
A site for the tradeSomeone else's calculator
An estimate that lands in another inbox has to be retyped. In Bidmio it becomes a draft quote.
The calculator in the systemAn invoicing program
The invoice comes from the job. A separate invoicing login is not required.
InvoicingA standalone accounting program
Chart of accounts, journal, bank and VAT are in the subscription. You do not keep a second accounting program beside it.
AccountingA notebook for jobs
Who is on site and what was promised sits on the job. A spreadsheet in three versions stops being the truth.
JobsWhat happens after the draft quote
The website and the calculator stop at a draft quote. After that it is the same job, not a new program.
Job
The approved quote stays on the job: who, when and what scope.
Project managementHours
Time from the phone sits on the job. Margin is not calculated from memory.
Time trackingInvoice
The document comes from the work, not from retyping into another program.
InvoicingBooks
The invoice is an entry in the same accounting. An export for a second program is not required.
AccountingThree ways to start
Sole trader
Start with the quote, the job, the hours and the invoice. Turn the website on when you have work to show.
For a sole traderConstruction firm
Jobs, the site diary and the books. BoQ arrives with the larger firm, not on day one.
Construction firmService firm
Today's visits, material in the van, a protocol and an invoice from signed work. Leave the site diary off.
Field serviceWhat Bidmio is not
An advertising agency
We do not sell campaigns. The website, references and enquiries, yes. A social post shows the photo. The job is caught on the page.
A payroll bureau
Payroll is in preparation. You cannot run pay in Bidmio today, and it is not part of this chain.
A replacement for the accountant
The program replaces a standalone accounting package. It does not replace the person who signs the close.
Does this replace a marketing agency?
No. We do not sell campaigns. The website and an enquiry that becomes a quote, yes.
Does this replace the accountant?
No. It replaces a standalone accounting program. The accountant can work in the same books.
Is payroll part of this chain?
No. Payroll is in preparation. You cannot run it today.
