Our Guided Onboarding Process
GovDash offers a guided, structured onboarding experience. Here’s the step-by-step process to ensure you have the information needed to complete the onboarding steps.
Account Setup
We begin by setting up your account. You’ll need to provide some basic information, including your first name, last name, and email address.
Team Setup
Next, we’ll help set up your team by filling out details such as your team name, UEI, CAGE code, address, and other essential information. We’ll also walk you through adding your team in GovDash. This step ensures that all team members are correctly added and that their roles are well-defined.
Upload Contracts
Once your team is set up, it’s time to upload some past performance information. This includes contracts and any supporting documents like proposals, PWS, monthly status reports, CPARS, etc. These documents will help build your Contract Cloud, enabling detailed past performance records to be generated, which will be used when creating proposals.
Upload Documents
The final step is to upload general company documents into your Data Library. These can include proposal volumes, capability statements, key personnel resumes, and technical documentation. GovDash will reference these documents to personalize your opportunity recommendations, improve proposal content, and better inform the Word Assistant.
Ongoing Support
At GovDash, we’re committed to providing you with all the resources you need to succeed. Whether you’re looking for detailed guides, step-by-step instructions, or personalized support, we’ve got you covered. Here are the key ways to access help and connect with our team.
