Quick Bid Reports video

Quick Bid provides thirteen built-in reports sorted into four categories:

• Bid Reports (Bid Summary, Section Markup, and Job Cost Summary)
• Analysis Reports (Cost per Sq. Size, Labor Risk, Cost Percentages, and Unit Cost by Cost Code)
• Labor Reports (Field Report, Payroll Report, and Production Report)
• Materials Reports (Vendor Quote Sheet, Purchasing Report, Stocking Report)

With most Reports, you can tell Quick Bid to summarize the information for a quick overview or you the report can be highly detailed - it all depends on the audience and needs.

Quick Bid Reports are generated using Crystal Reports™ software and users can develop custom reports using Crystal Reports Designer.  The list of available fields is in Using Crystal Reports to Design a Custom Report.
