"Preconstruction Manager"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SmartBid?

The ability to upload all file types and flexibility of the planroom is a huge upgrade from what we had before. We also enjoy the preqaulification module to ensure that we are aligning the right subs with the right work, while mitigating risk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartBid?

Some of the tools and attributes are not very intuitive. More on-demand training tutorials would be beneficial. We still struggle with getting subs to respond as to their intentions to submit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much about it that I dislike. There are always updates that adds new features, many of which I have still yet to learn but everything I've used so far with this product, I've really found useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
