You can now bid on your company iPad!.
Fx Bid Lite is at the App Store now.
It is free to download and currently free to use.
It is the bidding portion of FxCal.
It is only a bidding app.
It meets even the strictest interpretation of the FOM section that describes gray areas that might cause an app to hit the blacklist.
If you have Fx Cal on you personal iPad, you do not need Fx Bid Lite.
(Although if your personal iPad is a mini, you might like the retina display for bidding.)
If you have Fx Cal on your iPhone, run Fx Bid Lite on your company iPad.
You do not need Fx Cal on any device to use Fx Bid Lite to bid.
Again, it is free to download and currently free to use.
Fx Cal and Fx Bid Lite - next generation bidding software.
It has many of the features you are accustomed to in prior bidding software.
It also has new and powerful tools.
Intuitive deadhead display of the pairings to include double duty deadheads, those jewels in the 777 and MD11 bid pack.
No color coding to learn or apply as you look for deadheads.
Pick five information fields of your choice for display on each line without needing a popup.
Note taking on trips and pairs - no paper and pencil needed to work your bid.
The same trip synopsis you are familiar with in FxCal Open Time.
See out and back cities on the line without touching for a popup.
Large touch area for out and backs and small trips.
When zooming to not see carryout, you still see the number of carryout days.
Outstanding tools for manually arranging and scrolling in a large bidpack.
Vacation, days off, awards, all with many features.
Block over 8 is calculated, as well as international override.
Expected credit hours is a more functional sort than simple BLG.
And then the two newest tools that truly make this next generation bidding software.
Grading and Commuting/TAFH.
Grading will let you pick several items of importance, weight each one, and sort the lines.
The most accurate and easiest way to bid several hundred lines deep.
Commuting/TAFH is critical for commuters in particular. Time Away From Home (vs TAFB) has been a missing feature in bidding software from the onset. Instead of imagining what the commute would be for each line or manually using paper and pencil separate from your bidding software, FxCal/FxBid will calculate and show your planned commute. You are then able to sort on the efficiencies of your commute against you expected credit hours. Finally!
FxCal/FxBid is fully functional bidding software, although it is young with a few bugs to work through.
Commit to trying it for the next three months (its free).
That will get you past the learning curve and the software will mature with fixed bugs, new features and some enhancements to make an easier user interface.
Come along for the ride as FxCal/FxBid matures into what has been missing in bidding software.
Here is how easy it is to submit your first bid:
