Case Study: Negwer Materials eliminates spreadsheet bid tracking with BasisBoard

Negwer Door Systems Eliminates Messy Spreadsheets for Tracking Bids

Negwer Materials’ door systems division, Negwer Door Systems, is a St. Louis-based trade contractor that manages a high volume of bids across four regional offices. Before using BasisBoard’s basis platform, the team relied on a shared spreadsheet and manual email tracking to handle 100+ bid-related messages per day, which led to wasted administrative time, inconsistent bid naming, and occasional errors in deadlines and project details.

BasisBoard’s basis solution automated bid email organization and created a centralized, office-wide view of active bids and estimator assignments, eliminating manual data entry and reducing duplicate work across offices. After running basis alongside the old spreadsheet for a month, Negwer saw clear efficiency gains and rolled it out across all four offices, replacing its old Excel tracking documents and improving coordination on high-volume bid management.
