Learn how to setup and configure opportunity and product matching.

Can I set up Weekly emails instead of Daily emails? Can I select what appears in my Daily email?

6. Opportunity Matching

Currently, the only option is the Daily Bid Summary.

We are currently working on developing a feature so that you will be able to select “Daily” or “Weekly” from your Profile settings. A more immediate feature coming soon is that your Daily Bid Summary email will be more specific, so you will receive projects in your Zone/Region as well as Scope of Work based on what you’ve selected in your Company Profile.

I had Opportunity Matching setup in the old system…Will that copy over to the new system?

6. Opportunity Matching

Your opportunity matching settings will not be copied over, but it is a good excuse to go in and add any new keywords since your business might have changed over the years.

We’ve also introduced a new feature called Product Matching that lets you specify brands / makes and models if you are a manufacturer and supplier.

If I unsubscribe from Opportunity / Product Matching, will the rest of my team still receive them?

6. Opportunity Matching

Yes – If you opt out of receiving Opportunity and Product Matching emails, anyone else on your team that has not opted out will still receive them. If you unsubscribe from emails, you will still see matched projects on your dashboard.

Where does Opportunity and Product Matching search?

6. Opportunity Matching

Each evening, the system will automatically search through the project info along with all of the tender documents, addendas, and plans for your keywords. If any keywords are matched, it will display the results in an email and also display on your dashboard.

I don’t have the option to set up Product Matching keywords

6. Opportunity Matching

This is because your company is not setup as a manufacturer/supplier in your company profile. To set this, click on your name in the top right-hand corner of the screen and go into your account settings. Once in your account settings, click on “Edit Company Profile”. Under section 3 – Business Category, make sure that Manufacturer/Supplier is checked. Once Manufacturer/Supplier is checked, the “Product Matching Keyword” will be available.

I’m not getting Opportunity or Product matching emails

6. Opportunity Matching

The first thing to check is that you’re not set as ‘opt-out’ for emails. To do this, click on your name in the top right hand corner, then click on “Account”. Once your account loads, make sure that “Email Opt Out” IS NOT checked!.

If that’s unchecked and you’re still not receiving emails, check to see if those emails are in your spam / junk folder. If they aren’t you’ll want to contact your email provider and make sure that bidcentral.ca is whitelisted in your spam filter settings.

How do I setup Opportunity or Product Matching?

6. Opportunity Matching

To setup your opportunity matching, log into BidCentral and click on your name in the top right-hand corner of the screen and go into your account.

Once in your account settings, click on “Edit Company Profile”.

Under section 8 – Categories, you can enter in keywords into the “Matching keywords” for opportunity matching and “Product Matching Keywords” for product matching.

What’s the difference between Opportunity Matching and Product Matching?

6. Opportunity Matching

They are both similar in that they search through projects based on keywords that you entered.

Opportunity matching searches for project related keywords such as “drywall” or “excavator”.

Product matching is geared more towards manufacturers and suppliers so that they can enter in makes and models of products that are relevant to them. Once they are notified of projects that specify these makes or models, they can sell their products to the project owner or GCs that are bidding on the project.
