Livermore, Ca.-based WorldBids is launching a new digital bidding platform designed to simplify how buyers and sellers connect across industries—starting with the lumber sector.
Built to eliminate inefficiencies, protect buyer privacy, and surface better pricing, WorldBids aims to modernize the quote process across traditionally analog industries. The platform allows buyers to anonymously submit detailed bid requests. Registered vendors can then respond with pricing, while all submissions remain confidential until the buyer selects a bid.
By skipping the traditional back-and-forth and reducing unnecessary phone calls, emails and sales pressure, the system claims to give both sides a faster, more transparent way to transact.
“We built WorldBids because we kept hearing the same frustration: ‘Getting accurate bids takes too long, and I never know if I’m overpaying,’” said Sam Rivinius, the founder of WorldBids. “This platform puts control back in the hands of the buyer, while giving sellers access to opportunities they would have never seen otherwise. It’s about unlocking efficiency without adding complexity.”
Following its initial rollout in the lumber industry, WorldBids will expand into other categories in which a bid-to-purchase process is standard—including agriculture, construction materials, manufacturing, and logistics.
Rivinius also heads a construction, excavation, grading and paving company, GradeTech, Inc., Livermore.
