01 / Bidding public work for the county and the school corporation
Step 1 · Where it starts
A contractor texts a picture of an insurance certificate, a bond form, and a W-9 straight from the truck instead of hunting through a filing cabinet back at the shop.
Step 2 · What gets automated
The system reads the dates and coverage limits off each document, checks them against what the county or the school corporation's bid packet requires, and flags anything missing or about to expire before submission day.
Step 3 · The process it plugs into
A bid folder builds itself over the year instead of being assembled overnight before a deadline, so a new opportunity from the county or the school corporation is a same-day submission, not a two-day scramble.
Step 4 · SolaceSentry review
A named person at the company signs off the completed packet before it goes to county purchasing or the school corporation's facilities office.
Step 5 · What leaves the system
A complete bid packet in the format the buyer asked for, submitted once instead of returned for a missing page.
Proof metric: Bids returned for missing or expired paperwork — the target is zero, checked before the deadline instead of after a rejection.
