Which fits your next contract?

When BidLoom fits

Choose BidLoom when you want to inspect task-level hours and employer-cost assumptions before producing a proposal, and already have a way to manage the work after winning it.

When CleanGuru fits

Consider CleanGuru when bidding and daily cleaning operations should live with one vendor. Compare the included modules and users against the services your team actually sells.

Evaluate both on the same scope

  1. Enter identical areas, floor types, room counts and visit frequencies. Compare productive hours before comparing prices.
  2. Change one task rate in BidLoom; in CleanGuru, evaluate its total-hour and custom-task controls. Choose the level of adjustment that fits your estimating process.
  3. Use the same wages, employer costs, supplies and profit assumptions. Check which costs are included so a cheaper estimate is not simply missing an expense.
  4. Review a sample proposal and the operations you need after acceptance. Price the relevant plan, modules and seats rather than only the entry plan.

Review the assumptions before quoting

BidLoom’s state defaults are starting estimates, not your company’s assessed rates. FUTA credit reductions, some state assessments and local employer levies still need separate review. BidLoom does not calculate Service Contract Act wages or required fringe benefits.
