About Periscope S2G

BidSync is the bid notification service that gives exclusive access to bid opportunities from 400+ partner agencies at no cost. Upgrade to BidSync Pro and you are granted access to approximately 100K new government bid opportunities per month from up to 90K agencies monitored daily. Receive daily email alerts with the most recent and relevant bid opportunities, catered to both your search criteria and location preferences using the AI-powered Relevance Engine.

BidSync is a cloud-based program that enables suppliers looking to work with the government to be notified of relevant bid opportunities in advance, allowing enough time to properly respond. Having these relevant bid opportunities delivered daily via email saves significant time and resources previously spent manually searching for these opportunities, and often can be more thorough than an individual search conducted by an individual supplier.

BidSync has helped me expand my business.

I've had a great experience for several years now. My dedicated account representative listens to what I need and provides me the best solutions to save me the most time. Also, their customer service is very helpful in assisting with my account needs.

Pros:

Prior to using BidSync, I would spend over four hours a day searching for government bid opportunities. Now, within a matter of minutes, I gain the exact level of awareness I need into relevant opportunities. I'm saving time and money using the BidSync centralized online portal and a daily email notification.

Cons:

There was an initial set up process to narrow down the correct keywords to filter in the results I wanted. Once customer service help me with my settings, BidSync's artificial intelligence system does all the rest of the work in capturing relevant results for me.

Reasons for switching to Periscope S2G

Sometimes I missed bids with BidNet. I later discovered BidNet doesn't monitor as many government agencies as BidSync. So I made the switch to BidSync. I'm extremely happy with my results now.

Pros:

Gives us the ability to see all of the government opportunities that we want at a very affordable price. Also gives us access to documents directly. Searches are intuitive and easy to set up.

Cons:

Not sure I understand how opportunities are rated. I don't like when an opportunity refers to BidNet. That doesn't really help in evaluation because you need a separate subscription.

Reasons for choosing Periscope S2G

Usability. Affordability. The search quality doesn't leave me second guessing.

Reasons for switching to Periscope S2G

Product was expensive and did not carry over the historical information from Onvia. Their subscription model was very limiting and expensive. I believe BidSync works just as well for an affordable price.

Premium subscription is worthless if you're not interested in every random RFP

Abysmal. I reached out to customer service three times to give them the benefit of the doubt. Each time, I was advised to ensure I had specific search criteria, which I did but kept adding more. After continuing to receive bids in every random industry across the country, I found that my only options for bid alerts was daily e-mails. There is no option for weekly/monthly, or anything but daily "spam" e-mails. When I asked if this was bug or a feature and requested that only relevant bids matching my keywords a locations get sent to me, I was told that the "occasional" mismatched bid opportunity might get slipped in. I'm bewildered why this company wouldn't just only send me e-mails with bids I've asked for instead of losing my subscription of over $100/month, which I happily would have just left open for the next several decades.

Pros:

I thought it would help me stay aware of relevant bid opportunities

Cons:

Not only have I never received a bid that comes close to relevant, but for 3 months I get daily e-mails about bid opportunities in every State in the country, despite only paying for one State, and putting very specific criteria in my search settings.

Reasons for choosing Periscope S2G

because one of my government clients puts out all their bids on bidsync (I'm sure this was a decision made long ago).

Irrelevant Bids

I did a ton of research before deciding to go with BidSync. I'm sad to say it feels like we were duped. The salesperson told me with the free version we only get 3% of bids, and with the paid national plan we'd get 100%. Sounded good at the time. Now I realize they meant 100% of the bids on BidSync, not 100% of the bids total that are out there. I understand now that it's not possible to say you can pull 100% of the bids out there (if anyone says that it's a lie), but we were led to believe otherwise. And unfortunately there is no refund even though we haven't gotten even one bid since using their service.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The idea of getting an email with a bunch of bids is great, but almost all of the bids that come to my inbox are irrelevant to my company. I can see how they would be good for construction companies, but we are a consulting firm, consulting architects and engineers on designing projects to comply with ADA.

Cons:

Most bids are not at all what we're looking for. I called customer service so they could make sure I have the right keywords and words to avoid, and I still get irrelevant bids to my inbox and when I search online. What's worse, I get relevant bids from other competitor websites to my inbox that when I click on them naturally want me to sign up with them and when I search for those bids on BidSync to get those docs, they don't have those bids. I called customer service and apparently they don't monitor those sites. Those were three bids we missed out on because BidSync didn't notify us about them!

Reasons for choosing Periscope S2G

Misled by sales person, thought BidSync covered more bids

Vendor Response

Thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns. We see that you are not satisfied with the number of bids relevant to your business. While we monitor 100,000+ bid websites per month, we do not control agency demand for specific services/goods, it can be cyclical. We cannot guarantee a specific industry/specialization will have a constant high demand as these needs are determined by agencies. We apologize for any confusion about what our service provides. S2G Premium (formerly BidSync) is a bid notification service. We notify you of relevant bids in near real-time. We can only provide full bid info and response capability for those bids from agencies that use our Sourcing solution. If a specific agency prefers to use a different service for their RFP submissions, we still notify you of the bid, but you may need to register in their system to see full bid info and to respond. Our support team is always available to help you modify keywords and settings to get more relevant bids.

Pros:

I treat bidSync as my closed friend. It alerts me for available bids in market that otherwise would not have been disclosed to me. I personally think that one subscription of BidSync compensates a team of ten business development guys.

Cons:

The software does not help for all parts of the World. For example, I need similar assistance from Canada, Australia and UK markets and BidSync can not help me for these locations.
