Bidding Evolution
Now vs. With vela.ai
See how project bids step out of unsecure databases into secure contractor sandboxes.
✗ Unsecured Bids "Now"
Estimators paste sensitive labor lists, material ratios, or private subcontractor price files straight into consumer pages, leaking custom bidding formulas.
✓ Safe Proposal drafting With vela.ai
Estimates evaluate inside local sandboxed folders. Names, margins, and cost definitions are redacted natively prior to any third-party model routing.

Proposal Desk FAQs
Common Questions on Secure Bids
Can estimators check compiled scopes before they go to landowners?
Yes. vela.ai features mandatory review gates, preventing junior workers from sending proposals directly to clients without supervisor approval.
Does this support our trade firm's custom labor coefficients?
Yes. Advisors can lock rate calculators locally, ensuring staff cannot deviate from pre-approved brand pricing profiles.
How does the email follow-up tool stay compliant with brand rules?
Every generated reminder runs against custom vocabulary bounds. It restricts claims to approved contractor templates.
Is supplier pricing cached on vela.ai servers?
No. Our zero-retention architecture purges prompt records from memory within minutes, keeping all estimates secure.
Can we restrict update templates to only use approved legal terms?
Yes. You can lock prompt definitions so associates can only choose approved templates, maintaining brand standards.
How do we get started with standardizing our team’s intake tools?
Inquire by scheduling an audit with us. We will configure your intake guides, load precedent templates, and have your team using secure workspaces in days.
