Lowers the risk of awarding to unqualified contractors, by making it easy for our project teams to invite subcontractors to prequalify, making is quick and easy for the subcontractors to submit the application with the attachments, and helps our main office review and approve the applications with the help of risk and financial metrics and bench marking.

Common sense, simplicity, benchmarking, and financial approvals based on specific award amount & time frame.

Missing workflows to automate the review process. The is no help/Q&A section (but the chat feature is excellent).

Clear, dynamic risk evaluations and Subcontractor database that assist our risk management strategies.

Ease of use on the CM side. Data is well laid out, easy to view and to interpret. Platform looks great on an iPad for presentation/review with clients.

Subcontractor use doesn't seem as intuitive as CM side. No CM override for financial submission. PDF attachments download and open in new window, would be nice if they open in the platform. No excel-type functionality in the financial input (ie add or subtract values in the input 'cells'). I would like to see Vendor Management column sorting (move columns around) and better labels for 'Trade Type' - maybe less reliance on CSI code and more on trade description.

Overall our experience has been positive. The system is easy to learn, but has nuances that will take a long while to figure out.

I like that the system easily accepted a data upload of our already qualified vendors. Inviting vendors to qualify with us is very easy. Monitoring prequal status is a simple screen viewing. Sending reminders to vendors is also just a click away. Custom email templates for different reminders is also just a few clicks.

Although we had all the required prequal fields for the upload, such as each insurance policy, each separate company contact, etc., TradeTapp wouldn't allow us to upload. This meant that our vendors are now having to qualify again, very frustrating. Our ability to modify the data submitted by vendors is completely removed. So if the vendor makes a typo and submits the prequal, they have to be the ones to login and fix the error even though we're perfectly capable of immediately fixing it.

Not much at this point but looking forward in future

I would say that the display is the most part of the software that is actually attracting my attention

The restrictions of functionality is the most thing that i dislike from the software, you have to pay a lot to get them all working

Ease of use, cloud based, endless space for entering contracting firms, easy search capabilities

Too easy to duplicate entries, specifically contracting firms. Report results display off of page, needing to scroll to see all information

I am able to reference back for other prequalifications.

I liked that all my information was carried over to the next contractor when a new prequalification had to be filled out.
