Get the Most Out of Your Estimating Data

Gain valuable insights and make data-driven decisions for your business

Conest Connect is an analytics and reporting add-on for IntelliBid electrical estimating software. It runs on your existing IntelliBid estimating data, letting owners, project managers, and estimators build custom reports and dashboards, drill into job detail, and combine summaries across multiple jobs, change orders, and alternate bids.

Every bid your team produces generates data: what you priced, what you labored, what you won, and what you lost. Most of that sits unused inside the estimating system. Conest Connect uses your existing data in IntelliBid to help you make informed and actionable business decisions.

Focus On Your Most Important Estimating Data

Never Miss a Deadline Again

Tight estimating deadlines and heavy workloads can cause you to miss important targets or overlook critical information. Connect’s dashboards surface what would otherwise fall through the cracks, before it costs you a bid.

Built on Data You Already Have

Conest Connect reads the estimating data already in IntelliBid. There is no separate data entry step, no export-and-reconcile routine, and no second system to keep in sync.

Conest Connect: Frequently Asked Questions

Conest Connect is an analytics and reporting add-on for IntelliBid electrical estimating software. It uses your existing IntelliBid estimating data to generate custom reports and dashboards, so owners, project managers, and estimators can analyze bid performance and job data without exporting to another system.

Yes. Conest Connect is a reporting layer over IntelliBid estimating data, so it requires IntelliBid. It reads the data already in your estimating system rather than holding its own separate copy.

Estimator and contractor performance, which job types are most winnable and most profitable, job-level detail drilled down from summary views, and combined summaries across multiple jobs or across a single job with multiple change orders and alternate bids. Dashboards and views are customizable to the metrics your business tracks.

Owners use it to see bid performance across the company, project managers use it to manage jobs and deadlines, and estimators use it to drill into their own job data. The dashboards are built per view, so each role can watch different metrics from the same underlying estimating data.

Conest Connect runs alongside IntelliBid, so if your estimating platform is hosted on CE Cloud, your reporting sits with it. Request a demo to talk through the deployment that fits your setup.
