WinBidPro v15 is the third major Microsoft Windows release of the GDS Storefront Estimating System. Prior to this it was an MS-DOS program, and prior to that a CPM program!

WinBidPro is an entirely new program that keeps the same philosophy and concepts that GDS has always believed in. Our software has always been easy to learn, easy to understand and use, very flexible in terms of adding and changing information, and WinBidPro is no different. What has changed is its ability to handle larger, more complicated jobs, and newer, more complicated architectural systems. The architectural glass industry is evolving, so we must evolve with it!

If you are a v14 user and aren't sure why you should learn this new program, see a list of improvements that v15 offers over v14 in this PDF file. v15 Key Improvements

Does the WinBidPro upgrade Cost Extra?

NO! As a licensed subscriber to GDS software, you are able to download this new v15 software at no additional cost. Your existing license will work with both programs. Of course new customers will need to purchase a subscription.  More Details

1. 03-05-13: Fixed problem introduced in first release of v15.1.32. Door and Door Frame Parts data entry was putting cursor at beginning of line when entering each character for parts numbers.

2. Fixed problem with rake with the use of a head can. NOTE: The cut length of rake pieces is not exact. The measurements generated by the drawing are sufficient for estimating purposes, but should be checked against field measurements and adjusted in the Optimizer by editing the length of the rake cut pieces.

3. Fixed bugs in the Entrances window when adding new entrances, and when trying to edit or change a door or door frame for an existing entrance.

4. Made changes to prevent errors on certain computers when copying elevations. Not sure why problem would only occur on certain computers.
