Swiftender is super easy to use and navigate around. It literally took 15 minutes to completely walk-through the tool before my team had it mastered. Since switching to Swiftender, our Subcontractor engagement has nearly doubled, while our efforts in chasing them down for quotes has significantly decreased by 70-80%, freeing up precious time for our admin staff. Customer support is also excellent. Questions are always handled with a sense of urgency. As a Business Development Manager within the construction industry, I have worked with over a dozen tendering platforms. In my opinion, In terms of cost, value, ease of use, functionality, effectiveness, customer service and support, and aesthetically, Swiftender is the BEST tendering software on the market.

What I like most about Swiftender is that the OASISCODE team are dedicated to serving their clients and are always open to suggestions that will enhance the software while adding even more value for their clients. Yesterday I logged in to discover new functionalities, reporting and analytics options.

Cons are non existent. The tool does everything I need and more.

Once we took the time to input our contacts and customize the layout there wasn't much of a learning curve to run the program.

There are no issues at this point. If there was a (one click) access to monitor the actions of our invitees that would be helpful.

i enjoy that the software is easy to use, and I can always tell what s going on at a glance. i think that the file sharing mechanism is quick and easy to use, and it is very easy ot learn how to use the software.

i think that the file sharing system could use some more variety in the file types it supports, and I think that the program overall could maybe use google drive integration or something to make sharing files easier for the user.

Great - Great Team & Great Product.

1. I like how Switftender allows/encourages their users to be involved in the evolution of the system. 2. I like the control I have over my database 3. I like how Swiftender is not trying to monopolize my sub-trades with fees 4. I like how easy and intuitive the system is for not only my staff but my sub-trades

It's only real downfall is it's lack of security in terms of document control once you send a link. While having an active link that stays current no matter how many revisions you make to the document upload (dashboard) is a great feature and allows sub-trades ease of access throughout their supply chain and internally. It poses a security issue because once I send a link to the documents that link can be forwarded and shared outside of my control. My belief is that this is manageable by the Contractor and thought should always go into who you share information with - However I would like the ability to block/delete an invitation from access or at least be able to monitor/track who has used it. In the grand scheme of things my 4 pros above outweigh this issue, but nonetheless my hope is that this issue would be addressed/resolved in the future. Shayan and his team are great and over the last few years I have used this program I have seen the growth and believe in the direction of the programs evolution.

Swiftender has been a great addition to our tendering process. The ease of use for both the general contractor and the subcontractor is what stands out. The peole that developed the program have been very helpful and prompt with support.

The feature we most liked ws the idea that we can choose all of our subcontractors needed to get pricing from, in multiple divisions, and customize the invitation list. The fact that the subcontractors can access the plans room without the need of a password was a big plus.

Once you upload the tender documents, they are unable to be altered. You can issue a revision, however, then there are multiple emails going out to the subcontractors, which can get annoying. I believe there is a solution for this being issued in the next update.

Swiftender is easy to use and the creators of Swiftender have been working hard to improve the system as per our suggestions. Working with the program has improved our tracking by two folds. Who has been invited, who has downloaded the information and who will be providing quotes. I love how much time it saves me

I like the ease of sending out documents for tendering purposes. It helps keep track of all emails sent and bidding contractors. Adding contractors the invite list is so easy. I love how much time it saves me.

It's difficult to send special/specific email to certain contractors when requirements are differ for specific disciplines.

Swiftender has created a platform that is very clear and easy to use. Very simple to navigate and has all the all of the important features needed while tendering construction projects

Overall I am very happy with the program. I would to be able to see how often subcontractor actually quote us and not only see how often they interact.

Overall it is used to share documents and revisions to current documents used for tendering and construction services. Easy/reliable document sharing, saves time of individually sending invites. Sub-trade packaging with specific division. Has several options for invitations ( distance, name, company, company requirement, etc)

There isn't anything that i disliked about the software.

It has saved a TON of time uploaded and re-sending hyperlinks to various trades. This is a one-time task that helps keep everyone on the project on the same page.

Making document sharing easy with a large database to allow for a multitude of past and current RFP's to be in a central location.

User input requirements for location / the email tends to be flagged as 'Junk' so many uncommon subcontractors seem to miss the invitations if not contacted directly.

Excellent overall experience. As a General Contractor and Construction Manager, I found Swiftender improved the way we invited trades to bid on tenders and to track these invites. Having a software like this at your disposal is a great way to boost productivity and create efficiencies within your company during the tendering phase. The software is very intuitive for the user and allows you to sort/filter data in various ways, allowing you to view exactly what you need.

How quick the entire process is for the user to create projects and send them out for bids. Very streamlined and easy to use, for the manager and for the companies being invited to bid. I also found Swiftender was great at keeping an up-to-date trades list, where I would use the software to update contact information and scopes of work.

Nothing specific. Customer support was great, so any issues I had were rectified in a timely manner.

Very good overall

Easy to add new trades to jobs, and easy to create new jobs.

The comments carry over from job to job, so you see irrelevant comments on new jobs.

Good for small businesses to assist with their bid management. Definitley better and more robust programs out there but great for simple bid invite management. Definitely budget friendly too.

We were not committed to a one year term, we were able to go month-to-month. Ownership/account executives are very responsive. Bare bones, no frills or fanciness

There were a few quirks, namely the location/GPS requirement to validate the location of a job via google maps before you can send out for bid. Interface and format can be a bit confusing, especially when sending out revisions/addendums and attaching documents seemed like it could be more streamlined.

Construction tender/bidding with suppliers and contractors.

It is a very efficient tool for bidding/tender. In particular, it can be easily applied to entering detailed bidding information and registering various attachments.

The one least part is generating date information at file name end when new revision created. it makes confusing with actual document issued date.

It is a great tendering software for construction companies.

This is exactly what a tendering software needs to be. It is organized by division. Only invites the relevant trades/suppliers. And it hosts the files which need to be downloaded by the trades. Trades can be organized into unionized or non-union with the correct designation selected for each division for each project. There is a system for addendum uploads.

Nothing. It works great. We have had no problems with it.

It has been easy to use from day 1, I had on glitch the other day for the first time and sent an email to my customer service rep. They responded within minutes and the problem was solved. I was very impressed with the response time.

Easy to use and straight forward. I like being able to track who has taken plans and is bidding the project.

No complaints. I only wish more subcontractors would respond through the system for tracking purposes.

Overall, the software has helped us speed up document sharing and increased productivity.

Very user friendly and presents the data in a easily viewed manor.

Individual sending, it took me a while to find HOW to send to a specific person or company for each project. There should be an easier way of doing that (unless I am mis-informed)

very please of the way it is setup for us

the easy access that we have with all of the suppliers

the length of time it takes to upload new jobs or drawing to existing jobs

Very positive and quick roll-out solution to bid management

No sign-up required for our subcontractors. Easy access from their phones in the field.

Would like to see a link with qualification criteria for subcontractors

Overall, we are happy with Swiftender, Our executive is very open minded and improve the software based on users' needs and feedback.

I like an activity bar that indicate a history of response of individual trades.

After you post tender documents in project file you cannot edit or remove any file from it anymore.

The many different ways of you can sort the information.

Inability to update live. Have to log off and then log back in.

It is a time saving platform for getting RFP's out to your subtrades, suppliers and contractors.

Very easy to use. Gives you back-up on who is bidding and who is not which in turn can help you refine your RFP lists. It also allows you to upload drawings without any restrictions on size.

We had some issues with email reporting but nothing that caused a big issue for us.

I found swift tender very useful for tendering purpose. From selecting division wise trades to sending direct email with just couple of clicks is always very smart. The best part of the swift tender is providing feedback regarding the bidders and share their engagement level on previous invites. This really gives us head up regarding the bidders interest in the submission and push us to look at our bid submission strategy.

Bid management dash board which gives a fair bit of idea regarding the bid situation

I can not download list of trades directly instead I need to ask swift tender team

Good.

Ease of use, good customer support, Canadian based

Slowing down (but you guys are working on that).

wonderful

It is really easy to use and the customer service is out of this world.

unable to remove documents once uploaded

Easily send hundreds of custom & personalized invites to your most valued subcontractors & suppliers. Easy distribution of project revisions / addendums.

Not that I've found yet! I'm very satisfied with the software.
