Case Study: Ragnar Benson Construction achieves faster, higher-quality bids with StratusVue's BidVue

Ragnar Benson Construction - Customer Case Study

Ragnar Benson Construction (RBC) is a 90‑year‑old full‑service general contractor based in Park Ridge and Chicago that has expanded nationwide into a wide range of project types. As their geography and project diversity grew, their fax‑based bidding system could no longer handle dispersed and unfamiliar vendors: RBC struggled to maintain prequalification control and evaluation reporting, manage timelines and notifications, scale access to current documents for all trades, and standardize documentation.

In 2009 RBC adopted BidVue by StratusVue, a web‑based bidding platform providing a central document repository, no file‑type/size limits, role‑based access and an electronic bid book, plus bidder training and vendor support. The result: faster, simpler distribution and oversight (bidding times improved by up to 50%), more qualified bidders, fewer bidder questions, and hundreds of projects managed nationwide with significantly improved bid response rates.
