For trades
One back office for every trade.
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, mechanical, and fire protection. Archer catches every invitation to bid, reads your sections of the spec book, drafts the proposal, and keeps the job on track once you win. You approve every step from your phone.
Scope filtering
What Archer reads for electrical work
Commercial spec books are organized into numbered divisions using CSI's MasterFormat standard. Archer pulls out the scope items in the divisions that cover your trade, plus Division 01 (General Requirements), which sets requirements for the whole project.

Only your scope. Archer sets the rest of the bid package aside, so you only review what matters to your trade.
How it works
Four steps, built for electrical work.
Step 1 · Bid Intake
Every invitation to bid, caught the moment it lands.
Connected to your inbox
Link Microsoft 365, Gmail, or any IMAP email account. Archer watches for invitations to bid, addenda, and messages from GCs.
Every way in
Forward an email, text your BidReady number, or share files from your phone. It all lands in the same place.
Organized for you
The GC, the project, the due date, and the bid documents are pulled out and filed, and GC contact details are filled in for you.
You decide which bids to pursue. Archer brings you each one with what you need to make the call.
For the working contractor
You got into the trade to do the work. Spend your time there.
Archer handles the time-consuming parts of the business: watching for invitations, reading the spec book, tracking deadlines, writing the cover letter, and keeping the paperwork in order.
You get your evenings and weekends back, and your days go to the work that earns you money.
You still approve every line. Archer just gets the draft there first.
For the growing business
Take the back office out of your budget.
Estimators, office managers, and project coordinators are big hires that take months to pay off. With BidReady, Archer is your back-office staff, with a specialist agent for each job: bid intake, scope review, estimating, office management, and project tracking.
Archer works around the clock, from the invitation to the submission to the job itself, so you respond to more bids, more accurately and more consistently.
If a task doesn't need your hands, Archer has it covered.
