Swiftender Reviews

Pros

I find it very easy to use. It provides back-up on who is bidding and who isn't, which helps me refine my RFP lists. Plus, I can upload drawings without any size restrictions.

Cons

I had some issues with email reporting, but nothing that caused a major problem for me.

Pros

The bid management dashboard gives me a good sense of the bid situation.

Cons

I can't download the list of trades directly; instead, I need to ask the Swift Tender team.

Pros

Swiftender is an excellent tool for managing our subcontractor database and tender invitations. It's simple to use.

Cons

I haven't found anything to dislike about the software.

Pros

I appreciate how easy it is to send out documents for tendering. It helps me keep track of all emails and bidding contractors. Adding contractors to the invite list is very easy. I love the time it saves me.

Cons

It's challenging to send specific emails to certain contractors when the requirements differ for various disciplines.

Pros

No sign-up is needed for our subcontractors. They can access it easily from their phones while in the field.

Cons

I'd like to see a link with qualification criteria for subcontractors.

Pros

It's interactive, intuitive, and easy to navigate.

Cons

Most of the features are good, and I haven't noted anything I dislike about the software.

Pros

Document sharing is very easy with a large database that keeps past and current RFPs in one central place.

Cons

The user input requirements for location often get flagged as 'Junk,' so many uncommon subcontractors miss the invitations if they aren't contacted directly.

Pros

I enjoy the easy access we have with all of the suppliers.

Cons

The time it takes to upload new jobs or drawings to existing jobs could be shorter.

Pros

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

Cons

I haven't encountered any issues so far. It would be helpful to have a one-click option to monitor the actions of our invitees.

Pros

What I liked most was being able to select all the subcontractors we needed for pricing in various divisions and customize the invitation list. The fact that subcontractors can access the plans room without needing a password was a huge plus.

Cons

Once I upload the tender documents, they can't be altered. I can issue a revision, but that results in multiple emails going out to the subcontractors, which can be annoying. I believe there's a fix coming in the next update.

Pros

The software provides a very intuitive experience.

Cons

The software occasionally bugs out, but a page reload usually resolves the issue.

Pros

It's easy to add new trades to jobs and create new jobs.

Cons

The comments carry over from job to job, which means I see irrelevant comments on new jobs.

Pros

This tool is very efficient for bidding. It's particularly good for entering detailed bidding information and registering various attachments.

Cons

The least favorable part is generating date information at the end of the file name when a new revision is created. It makes it confusing with the actual document issued date.

Pros

Great program! It's excellent for tendering opportunities, simple to manage packages with a spot for all your contact information, and much more.

Cons

Nothing to note, the product is fantastic!!!

Pros

It works as intended, letting me easily track who is bidding and distribute contract revisions effortlessly.

Cons

There isn't much to dislike about the product. It works exactly as I expect.

Pros

The product is easy to use and navigate through menus.

Cons

The calendar could be improved and become a standalone page.

Pros

We weren't locked into a one-year term and could go month-to-month. The account executives are very responsive. It's simple, with no frills.

Cons

There were a few quirks, like the requirement to validate the location of a job via Google Maps before sending it out for bid. The interface and format can be a bit confusing, especially when sending revisions and attaching documents; it seems like it could be more streamlined.

Pros

I like that the software is easy to use, and I can always see what's going on at a glance. The file-sharing mechanism is quick and easy, and learning how to use the software is simple.

Cons

I think the file sharing system could support a wider variety of file types, and the program could benefit from Google Drive integration or something similar to make sharing files easier for me.

Pros

I can easily send hundreds of custom and personalized invites to my most valued subcontractors and suppliers. Distributing project revisions and addendums is also simple.

Cons

I haven't found any issues yet! I'm very satisfied with the software.

Pros

It's easy to use, offers good customer support, and is Canadian-based.

Cons

It's slowing down (but I know you're working on that).
