ITB.io was created to allow Builder's Exchanges/ Planrooms to meet the needs of the members of our organization. We saw General Contractors were needing tools to invite subcontractors/suppliers to bid on their projects. We felt we were in a position to connect the General Contractors with the Subcontractors/Suppliers in furthering our mission of encouraging competitive bidding in the market.

1. 1. Contractors send the project to the Exchange
2. 2. The Exchange sets the project up in the project database
3. 3. The Contractor Invites Subcontractors and Suppliers to their project via ITB.io tools.
4. 4. The invited companies recieve their invites and visit your project on your exchange.
5. 5. The Contractor can invite a mix of your members as well as companies from their private contacts database they manage.
6. 6. The Contractor can manage their invites and make sure they have adequete bid coverage.

ITB.io was designed as part of a larger vision of keeping the Exchange as a hub for stakeholders in the construction industry. Historically Exchanges have a done a great job of serving our members through advertising projects directly to our members. Creating planrooms and virtual planrooms for our members to visit to access bidding projects.

We see a need through software solutions to continue to support the construction industry. Tools like ITB.io and Planholders.io are extensions of the traditional planroom. These tools allow us to not only serve the members through advertising bidding projects but serving the growing needs of the construction industry in the digital age.

Planholders.io is a plan holder, electronic document delivery tool that allows plan-issuers (Architects, Engineers, Municipalities, ETC.) to manage their bidding projects while at the same time posting their projects in the Builders Exchange and managing all aspects of the bid process. visit Planholders.io to learn more.
