Lost in bidding spreadsheets?
There’s a better way.
Every copied file and broken formula risks delays, miscommunication, and lost revenue. Leave those clunky spreadsheets behind. ShowBids makes professional VFX bidding faster, cleaner, and smarter — without changing the way you work.
Dear Producers,Bidding shouldn’t be this chaotic.
You’re chasing down the latest notes, triple-checking formulas, and have three workbooks open to compare against old bids. Every revision brings more manual fixes, and it’s all on you to keep it straight — without any room for error.
The Grid
Stop wrestling with spreadsheets.
Start a bid from scratch or import bids and use our structured rate cards, purpose-build formulas, and inline comments — no formulas required.
Version Comparison
Compare versions without the tab overload.
Choose any past version from a drop-down to compare bids side-by-side — no extra tabs, no confusion.
Customization
Bids aren’t one size fits all.
Easily add discounts for volume, surcharges for tight turnarounds, or estimates for tax rebates per region.
Sending Bids
Share without the stress.
Export professional PDF top sheets and Excel files that only include the columns you select — no broken formulas, no risk of oversharing internal details.
Dear Studios,Stop flying blind on bidding.
Each show’s bid lives in a different format, buried in someone’s desktop folder. There’s no easy way to track scope changes, monitor margins, or ensure bids align with your strategy — leaving leadership in the dak where it matters most.
Centralized Oversight
You can’t manage what you can’t see.
Review, approve, and audit all bids from one secure studio portal — no more hunting through email chains or scattered workbooks.
Built-in Accountability
Enforce consistency without micromanaging.
Apply studio rate cards, volume discounts, and tax rebates while giving producers the flexibility they need to win.
Studio-wide Insights
Turn your bids into business insights.
Spot trends across shows, clients, and facilities. See where you’re undercharging, or missing patterns across productions.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Keep sensitive data locked down.
Your financial data is protected with modern encryption, permission controls, and export settings that minimize risk.
Stop letting messy bids cost you time and trust.
Studios lose revenue, clients lose confidence, and producers lose hours to broken spreadsheets. ShowBids gives you the structure and oversight you’ve been missing.Join the waitlist and take control of your bidding process.
