About Downtobid

BasisBoard is a construction bid management software targeting commercial subcontractors, supply houses, and material vendors. Key attributes include cost database, project & bid management, RFP & task management, file sharing, quotes, version control, supplier management, collaboration tools, and project tracking.

The software helps businesses track bids in one collaborative workspace without any data entry. It has a bid board that integrates into company inboxes, recognizes bid invite e-mails, and instantly retrieves the data into a dashboard. BasisBoard allows organizations to eliminate manual tasks from daily operations by automatically declining, accepting, or assigning bobs based on business rules.

BasisBoard provides a bid board that enables organizations to send proposals, respond to RFIs, ask for clarifications, and invite vendors to bid. Companies may also put all bid invitations in a centralized system, preventing multiple estimators from working on the same task.

Pros:

I am getting far less bid invitation emails in my Inbox thanks to BasisBoard. Emails are compiled and presented in a way that is very organized and easy to manage. The fact that it is pulling bid invites from my Inbox as well as from others on my team is helping to ensure that no potential opportunities are missed. BasisBoard is a great tool for our Estimating team to track projects throughout the estimating process while providing valuable analytics along the way.

Cons:

We have experienced some difficulty when attempting to merge projects and use the revision button to update bid packages or pricing. It seems a bit cumbersome and doesn't always update the way we expect it to. However, any support we have asked for has been great. When we ask for help solving this problem, I am positive that they will work to explain and/or fix any issues we have.

Reasons for choosing Downtobid

BasisBoard was an easy choice because of their willingness to customize to our needs. They also have continued to improve and create new features that will be very useful going forward.

We Love BasisBoard!

Eliminated overhead, and gained efficiency with timeframe between receiving ITB's and estimators & account managers getting them on their "radar," previously it would take anywhere from 3-5 business days between receiving ITB and someone laying eyes on plans and specs, with BasisBoard that's decreased to one day, two at the most typically.

Pros:

As a Specialties subcontractor in a very busy market, we typically receive well over 100 emails every day pertaining to ITB's, with many in duplicate/triplicate (or more). Typically these boil down to anywhere from 10-25 actual ITB's received every day, the majority of which we say "no" to after reviewing. Before BasisBoard, we had a person whose only role was to manually plug all ITB data into our own system, even for projects we weren't going to bid. BasisBoard essentially enabled us to eliminate the position entirely, and allows us to quickly and easily filter out the "junk" from the "treasures" without hours of needless manual data entry before getting to that point. The addition of BasisBoard's Plan Downloading feature further simplified the process, as previously the person in the role of manual data entry was also tasked with downloading all bid documents onto our own local server (meaning BasisBoard also saves us data storage space)

Cons:

As someone who uses Bluebeam Revu daily, i find the navigation of plans in BasisBoard to still be somewhat tedious in comparison, but has improved since the initial release thanks to some improvements by the developers since initial implementation. A few minor additions to zoom in/out capabilities would go a long way.

Pros:

My favorite feature while using this software is the automatic organization for incoming bid invitations.

Cons:

There were a few things in the beginning when I first started using the software but with great communication from the support team we solved these issues over time.

Reasons for choosing Downtobid

I chose BasisBoard because at the time there were no other competitor that had that automatic email organization and I found it really interesting and wanted to give it a try.

Pros:

The software is excellent at keeping track of all of our bid requests and our proposals. Previously we used Excel, but this is so much more helpful and far easier. We really like the automated features, the reporting, filtering options, etc.

Reasons for choosing Downtobid

Much better fit for our needs.

Reasons for switching to Downtobid

Super easy to use! I love how organized it is. I love that you can customize your view and filter it making it easier to see who is bidding on a specific project. It is also super handy that you can add a search bar to quickly find any project just by entering it in. You can find what you are looking for quickly.

Cons:

Honestly, I have not found anything negative with this software. I have been using it for a year now and everything has worked as it should.

Reasons for switching to Downtobid

Our company needed more organization and to be able to see more data in front of us than what we currently had. We needed more options available also.
