HOW PLANETBIDS COMPARES TO OTHER PROCUREMENT PLATFORMS
Many procurement platforms handle only one part of the process, or they’re tacked onto broader agency-utilized ERP systems. Public works teams are left juggling spreadsheets, PDFs, and email to keep everything together.
PlanetBids is solely dedicated to the actual procurement process:
-
Manage the complete procurement lifecycle in one place, from solicitation to award.
-
Maintain compliance with public bidding laws and internal policies.
-
Ensure collaboration and oversight without redundant manual steps.
The result: Faster project execution, clearer documentation, and better outcomes for your community.
