Question for anyone who PMs/Estimates/Manages Bids

Hey guys, just doing kind of a quick gauge of interest on an idea I had. You may remember me as the estimator who complained about the industry being far behind the times and wanted to work from home. Well I’ve actually ran into another issue at work. We have this older estimator (60’s) who refuses to put all of his bids on the bid calendar and never looks at it, which ends up with him and I sometimes working on the exact same bid unless we talk about everything that we are doing. Since I’d rather be left alone to do my work I thought of an idea. I’m currently learning to write code in my spare time and figured that I might as well use it to solve an issue at work. So here’s my question: say I made a google chrome extension for managing and tracking bids, would anyone here actually be interested in using it? I’m sure there are people out there using good software already but the few companies I’ve been with either do a terrible job at managing it themselves or they use an excel spreadsheet on a shared drive. My idea would just allow you to login to your chrome extension first thing in the morning and it would make entering bids a little easier than a spreadsheet. To me it seems like a good idea and a little more progressive but I’m also biased because it’s my idea. Tell me what you guys think!

Toro unveils ‘first of its kind’ Dingo TXL 2000, a stand-on loader with extendable arms

Telescoping arms with a wide reach and a doubled load capacity are key features of Toro’s new Dingo TXL 2000, which is in development. A new compact utility loader in development by Toro was the talk of the American Rental Association show in New Orleans, with passers-by eying the long reach of the vertical telescoping loader arms on the Dingo TXL 2000. The gleaming red prototype represented this model’s debut, and plenty of dealers and contractors got a peek of what’s to come with this machine, which is the first of its kind, according to Toro. “This machine won’t be out until the late part of 2018, and why we’re introducing it here is because it’s our 20-year anniversary of the Dingo product line,” Kevin Conry, senior marketing manager at Toro Siteworks in Bloomington, Minnesota, had explained during the show held February 19-21.
