Why FortressYard + TxDOT Public Bid Data?

The data shows up where the work happens

Always current

Refreshed on a schedule, so you're working from today's data — not a spreadsheet someone exported last quarter.

Built into the workflow

It shows up where the work happens — the scale house, dispatch, the quote, the call sheet — not in a separate tool to remember.

Fail-open by design

If TxDOT Public Bid Data is briefly unavailable, nothing stops. Operations keep running and the data refreshes on the next successful pull.

No extra software

FortressYard runs the connection for you. There's nothing new for the crew to log into or maintain.
