Education
Streamlining Bid Management for East Side Union High School District
In the education sector, juggling procurement needs across multiple departments can feel overwhelming. For the East Side Union High School District in San Jose, California, their outdated, manual procurement processes led to inefficiencies and delays in securing vendors for critical school projects.

What used to take weeks was now completed in days, helping the district save time and money while securing the best vendors for their projects.
Water Districts

PlanetBids helped the Port streamline its vendor registration and bid management processes. With an automated, secure platform, they could now manage bids more efficiently, ensure compliance, and expand their vendor pool, all while saving time and reducing paperwork. The result? A smoother procurement process that kept projects moving forward without delays.

Government
Simplifying Procurement for the City of El Cajon
Government agencies often face the challenge of balancing compliance with efficiency, and the City of El Cajon was no different. Their paper-based procurement process was time-consuming and left them open to errors, leading to delays in projects and lost opportunities for better vendor contracts.
With PlanetBids, the City of El Cajon transitioned to a fully digital procurement system. This not only eliminated the paperwork but also improved their bid tracking and vendor management capabilities. By streamlining these processes, the city saved time, increased transparency, and ensured they were always compliant with regulations.
Airports
How Kenton County Airport Improved Procurement Efficiency
Airports like the Kenton County Airport Board have complex procurement needs, managing bids for everything from construction to equipment. Before PlanetBids, they struggled with inefficient manual processes that led to delays and complications in project timelines.
After implementing PlanetBids, Kenton County Airport Board saw an immediate improvement. The airport could now manage bids digitally, automate vendor outreach, and keep projects on track without the usual procurement bottlenecks. The added transparency and efficiency meant the airport could better manage its budget and stay on top of its procurement needs.
