Available now on Beta. This feature is in beta testing and will roll out to everyone soon.
What is this?
The Quotes tab is how you shop a rental to your vendors. Send a request, let vendors respond with their price, then compare the bids side by side and accept the one you want. Clue tracks every request from sent to awarded.
Who's this for?
- Rental coordinators, get competing prices without a chain of emails.
- Buyers, see the lowest bid at a glance and award with confidence.
- Project managers, know a rental is priced and approved before it shows up.
How to use it
Step 1: Get quotes
Click Get Quotes on a rental request. The summary cards at the top track each request: Awaiting Quotes, Quotes In, Awarded, and Completed.
Step 2: Compare the bids
Open a request to see every vendor's response together. The lowest comparable bid is marked, and each vendor shows its price and status.
Step 3: Accept the winner
Accepting a quote is the decision. It awards the vendor, drops the others, prompts once for the PO number, and sets up the rental in a single step.
The full details
- Statuses: Awaiting Quotes, Quotes In, Awarded, Completed.
- One-click accept: Accepting captures the PO and creates the rental at the same time.
- Approvals: If a total is above your approval limit, it waits for an approver before it is finalized.
Tips
- The lowest bid is highlighted, but you can accept any vendor.
- Once awarded, send the PO to the vendor so they have it on file.
