Sherwin-Williams now offers a Project Bidding tool exclusively through the S-W PRO mobile app to help users efficiently capture job details and quickly deliver a professional bid to their customers. The new feature gives painting contractors more flexibility, helping close projects quickly to save time and money.
“Our goal is to provide premium products, resources and support that help professionals run a better painting business,” said Jeff Winter, vice president of residential marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “The new Project Bids tool enables transparency and trust between painting contractors and their customers.”
To use, professionals enter project details within the Project Bids feature in the S-W PRO mobile app, including but not limited to client information, what interior and/or exterior areas are being painted and what type of coating will be used. Then, professionals have the flexibility to price the work by the hour, the square foot, linear foot or by the item. Recorded details are converted to a professional bid that is emailed to prospective customers.
Key features and benefits of the Project Bids tool include:
- More field time: Efficiently create and reference bids from anywhere
- Customize estimates: Record job details and pricing in a flexible and semi-guided workflow
- Repurpose bids: Quickly refer to past bids as templates for similar jobs
- Customer-friendly: Email detailed bids to customers
- Coating details: Recommend product families from the Sherwin-Williams catalog to the bid
- Multilingual options: Available in both English and Spanish
The Projects Bids tool is available exclusively in the S-W PRO mobile app to professional customers that have signed up for mySW. The S-W PRO app can be downloaded through the Apple and Google app stores. Professionals can sign up for a mySW profile by talking to their S-W rep or store, or by visiting mySW.com.
