How it works

From portal post to a prepared bid in four steps

1

We scan public sources

RouteReady monitors public procurement portals, town and city bid pages, school district pages, vendor portals, public notices, and award records where available, every morning, automatically.

2

We filter for transportation work

The system identifies 7D van, pupil transportation, special education routes, out-of-district, school bus, and shuttle contracts, and hides road infrastructure, fleet maintenance, and unrelated noise.

3

Upload the IFB and review a requirements checklist

Upload an IFB and RouteReady extracts deadlines, insurance requirements, vehicle specs, required forms, and missing paperwork into a usable compliance checklist, with no manual re-typing of requirements.

4

Choose what to bid on and track the work

Use Fit Score, pricing tools, contract intelligence, outreach drafts, and document tracking to decide what to chase, then get your bid packet ready before the deadline.

Why it matters

What does the manual process cost you?

Checking procurement portals, opening district pages one at a time, reading through long PDFs, and keeping it all straight in a spreadsheet can take real hours every week: hours that could otherwise go toward preparing a stronger bid.

When that process is manual, preparation can end up rushed, follow-ups can slip, and a renewal window can pass before anyone notices. Whether any of that happens in your operation specifically depends on your own workflow. This describes a risk the manual approach carries, not a prediction about what will happen to you.

cost of that time

Your time is worth about 5.8 times what RouteReady Pro costs.

RouteReady checks 103 websites for you, every morning. It also:

  • →IFB Parser: turns a bid document into a simple checklist
  • →Renewal Radar: reminds you when a contract is about to end
  • →Pricing intelligence: compares your rate against comparable contracts

Based on your answers

  • →Set up your bid feed. New matches come to you. You do not need to search.
  • →Try the IFB Parser on your next bid document. See the checklist it makes.
  • →Compare that to the public websites RouteReady checks every day.
How this is calculated

Time: (4 hrs/wk searching × 52) + (3 IFBs/mo × 45 min × 12) = 235 hrs/year.
Cost: 235 hrs × $50/hr = $11,750.

What these numbers do not include

  • These numbers are estimates based on what you enter. They are not a promise.
  • Your real results depend on how you work and how you use RouteReady.
  • RouteReady can reduce some of this work. It does not remove all manual work.
  • A contract's value is not the same as profit. Costs and capacity still matter.
  • Entering a contract value does not mean you will win that contract.
  • RouteReady cannot guarantee it will find every opportunity.
  • Always check bid details with the official source before you act.
  • Always check any IFB checklist against the original document.

What changes

Same public information, organized differently

Manual process

  • Multiple procurement portals
  • District websites checked one by one
  • Scattered documents across email and drives
  • Spreadsheets for tracking what you found
  • Manually-set reminders for deadlines
  • Separate searches to find award history
  • Renewal dates kept in memory

With RouteReady

  • One relevant-opportunity feed
  • Fit Score on every bid
  • Contract history in the same workspace
  • Estimated rebid timing, with confidence shown
  • IFB checklist generated from the document
  • Document readiness tracked automatically
  • Contract portfolio in one view
  • Renewal visibility ahead of expiration

Official procurement portals remain the source of truth. RouteReady organizes and surfaces public information. It doesn't replace verifying details with the issuing agency before you act on them.

No commitment required.

Compare the subscription to a contract you already run.

A RouteReady Pro subscription costs $169/month, or $2,028/year. Most transportation contracts are worth considerably more than that. Whether the subscription pays off depends on your own pipeline: use the estimator to see the cost against a contract value from your work.

Try it yourself in the estimator above. Enter a typical contract value from your own work and see the subscription cost as a percentage of it.

RouteReady does not guarantee contract discovery, awards, revenue, or profitability. A contract's value is not the same as profit: margin and capacity still have to be evaluated for any opportunity you pursue.
