Bid Writer E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Generally an easy and convenient way of writing tenders let down by several annoying bugs. " May 12, 2017 3.0 It has made bid writing much more efficient as well as acting as great of storing bid information. It has also been a really useful way of tracking bids - particular with the visual reporting on the dashboard. The ability to have all bids and bidding information in one place has been the greatest benefit to us. Pros \- Clear layout - Easy to use - Can customise the main menu - Great way to store stock answers/general company information - Visual reporting feature - Having multiple users makes it easy to divide up bid work between staff - Branding documents is easy - Search All feature saves vast amounts of time when searching for information - Collateral feature is really useful for storing key documents - Support service always very quick to sort out any reported issues Cons \- Text editor can be very buggy - have lost entire answers before - Exporting - often moves bullets points when exporting to word and tables often have to be redrawn on word because of how they appear on the page - Sometimes won't allow use to copy and paste images in to the text box - When copying and pasting text we're able to format the text (e.g. not make it bold) - Search All feature doesn't search similar phrases - need to search word for word Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 22, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Please look at the newly released Text Editor. Significant improvements have been made with additional functionality too (including improved importing of images). However, your comments have been taken on board and will be reviewed at the end of May when planning our 6 monthly development programme. In the meantime please contact Cara Smith and Jeremy Gilbert so as to iron out any problems you're encountering. TS Trudy S. Marketing and Business Development Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great submissions tool which saves us time and resources" May 8, 2017 4.0 Increased win rations on PQQ's and Bids, reductions in marketing budget going externally to graphics companies, and increased speed in responding to enquiries. Pros We can put together any professional document in house (not just tenders and PQQ's,) which for a small company like ours saves us a lot of money in external graphics companies. We can also search all our previous answers, which enables us to fill in most questionnaires quickly, saving resources. Because of the way it is set up, it enables us to pull together the main elements of a bid using an administrator, which for us is a much better use of resource-giving our directors and managers a head start from which to work. Since implementing the system our documents are much more professional, and we are more successful with our bids. Cons Like any software, you only get out what you put in, so keeping things up to date is essential. But this is true of any system. Sometimes things that you think would be intuitive aren't, but they are really good at listening to suggestions regarding improvements and bringing these into the system, and implementing new features to keep the system up to date. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 8, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Pleased you find it does what it says on the tin. LR Laura R. Bid Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A user friendly piece of software built by bid managers for bid managers." May 9, 2017 5.0 Very easy to use once you're up and running, and really well supported by the team at Propeller. Pros The process of importing the original bid document and using this to create the structure for the response is a great time saver and reduces the frequency of errors that might otherwise occur (for example, if you were keying in each question). I'm looking forward to using the Word text editor for formatting responses. This additional functionality will make document creation and formatting much easier. The project management tool provides an excellent dashboard for checking progress and allocating questions to casual users is a real bonus. It allows people to contribute their responses without requiring a log-in and full access to the system, and can be accessed from a link in an email. Really user-friendly and quick. Having a one-stop shop for the bid process from the very beginning to the final creation of the document and everything in between undoubtedly creates efficiency, which is vital to the all too often time-starved bidding programme. Access to all previous answers, which can be ranked according to previous scores, saves time and results in a higher quality library of answers. Cons I find the cover pages and separator pages a little tricky to navigate and change when updating the style on a document. I haven't spent a great deal of time on this element of the document creation process, so it could come down to practice makes perfect! The contents page is rather inflexible. It would be great if you could either edit the table of contents itself, or highlight words in the question to include (rather than including the whole question, which can be too lengthy). Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 9, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Your comments regarding amending the Contents Page can be done in the new Text Editor. Give it a go or contact Jeremy Gilbert or Cara Smith for further advice and help. GD Gill D. HR Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The system is good value for money" May 17, 2017 4.0 Customer relationship management is much more efficient than the previous system we worked with Pros 1\. The system is easy to use we have lots of staff as designated users for a wide range of applications 2. It does everything that we need it to do 3. Easy PQQ is an effective tool to help the business develop and track leads and business relationships 4. The response from the Propeller support team is always quick and efficient and we are pleased to note that some of our system improvement suggestions have been introduced Cons there is an element of rigidity in the reporting - so in order to set up a contact, a specific job title must be entered - which might be a one off and then unless you recall that specific title the name would not come up in reporting. An element of human thought process is required. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 18, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Regarding the 'niggle', would you mind contacting either Cara Smith or Jeremy Gilbert to get a better idea of what you are referring to. We're always happy to take on suggestions for improvement - particularly if it makes the software flexible and adaptable to clients' needs as far as possible. I believe following a phone call the issue has been resolved. The problem encountered had nothing to do with EasyPQQ but another software product. NG Nick G. Compliance Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Company output at the beginning but also at the end of the construction process - very impressive" May 8, 2017 5.0 Consistency in documentation throughout the construction process which is great in the eyes of the end client so this has been a massive positive for me. Pros The impression that the output provides to the end client is very professional and the system itself is easy to use. I use the system to provide manuals to clients at the end of a construction project and this in l ine with the pre construction documentation is great as it shows a consistency of documentation which we are in control of. I like the way that the outputs can be adapted to suit any client requirements in documentation. All in all the system in my opinion is excellent. Cons I think the updates that are always ongoing are key to making this even more user friendly, I like the fact that prior to your word editor update we were slightly restricted as to what we could do with the software, For me when creating documents as PDFs I would like to see it where the header page can incorporate the pdf within it rather than having a blank page but I guess this is something that is just the way it is. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 9, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. MS Mark S. Marketing Executive Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly system, saves time& allows us to produce professional tender submissions" May 12, 2017 5.0 Excellent looking bid submissions. Being able to find previous answers and monitor performance of our bid submissions. Pros Ease of finding previous answers from the database saves considerable time. The look of the documentation produced provides an edge over competitors. The ease of navigating around the system as well as the first class support provided from the back office team. Overall a fantastic piece of software that has made the management of tender process a lot easier. Cons When searing for previous answers, it will pick up every word associated with your search, and some of the ones at the beginning of the results don't have enough of a relevance to what you are searching for. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 18, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Could I suggest that when searching using a number of words, you please include the words in "speech marks" so that a phrase is searched, not individual words. This should solve the relevance problem. IO Ian O. Bid Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This software has increased our companies productivity and is fundamental to our future success. " May 12, 2017 5.0 As our company is spread out over several countries, This software has prevented multiple teams from rewriting responses that have already been developed but more importantly has ensured that the top responses are used on a consistent basis and that poor responses are not utilised. By having a central database of responses that have been drafted by several colleagues, it has opened my eyes to alternative methods of responding to client demands and has increased my knowledge of going works and innovations being developed by the company. Pros The software is very easy to use and the in house Training provided by EasyPQQ (Cara) was very easy to understand and implement. The software is very user friendly and EasyPQQ have been very receptive to any recommendations made by our company on potential minor modifications. Its search engine makes it extremely easy to find similar responses to previous questions allowing for quick effective responses be provided. The library of documents is also very beneficial as the our company are spread over several countries allowing fora central library of up to date information. The notification system for identifying when certs etc are about to expire is also a very helpful tool ensuring that only up to date information is provided to clients and prevents the embarrassment of providing expired information Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 12, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Very pleased to read how much EasyPQQ has benefited Roadbridge. DS Dean S. Bid writer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Used for construction pqq, tendering and as a document database" May 19, 2017 5.0 Simplified document storing, ease of access online and standardised quality of submissions Pros Extremely helpful tool for simplifying contractual applications. Team are amazingly helpful working with ourselves to improve the product and functionality. Propeller studios deserve great praise for their open ear and keen willingness to ensure continual improvement alongside a fast moving industry's requirements Cons Text inputting database could be more like Microsoft word platform. The associated limitations to CVs and pre forms could be more flexible, however this is all work in progress. We have faith in you listening to our suggestions Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 25, 2017 Many thanks for your review. Delighted you find the software helpful. Our customer service is one of the flagship features of the service offered by Propeller Studios so it is pleasing to see you feel the same way. nW natalie W. Bid Writer Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy PQQ software has dramatically reduced time spent drafting and completing bid submissions. " May 8, 2017 5.0 Saves a massive amount of time; enabling us to complete more submissions within a limited timescale. Pros The search function and additional details at New Bid stage that allow us to provide portal information and passwords. Also like the fact that you can keep an accurate track of which bids were successful/unsuccessful on a monthly basis. Prevents us from having to search back through previous submissions and award letters on our internal server. Cons The new Word Editor, as you cannot copy and paste answers from the search function and have to type out every word individually. This dramatically increases the time spent creating bid submissions, so unfortunately, we have reverted back to the original editor. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 8, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Following our telephone conversation regarding the copy and paste function, I hope no further problems will be encountered. As mentioned, please do contact us should you experience any further difficulties on this issue and we will look into it immediately. GM Gareth M. Senior Bid Writer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good system, but sometimes a little frustrating." May 12, 2017 4.0 Primarily used to search previous answers, but we are working to utilise more features. Pros Search engine around previous answers is a great feature, I just wish it had the option for more detailed metadata. Cons Uploading previous answers can be a bit of struggle, but Easy PQQ utilise the new word editor (available elsewhere in the platform) it would make it so much easier. Also the management of users is pretty restricted, whereby you can't move groups of users to different permission sets but instead you have to do it one by one. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 12, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Gareth, would you mind contacting Cara Smith? We are about to sit down and plan the next six months programming/ development work and would like to include your suggestions where possible. We aim for EasyPQQ to be better than 'good', and it certainly shouldn't be frustrating. CB Chris B. Head of Bids Used the software for: ### "Great product and simple to use" September 9, 2015 5.0 Really good proposal tool which covers all the key elements of bid management. Search content and managing a functions are both really good and it has significantly improved the quality of our output. Would recommend to anyone looking to improve the quality of their bids. Review Source CR Claire R. Bid Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Even for a complete novice, Easy PQQ makes it a breeze to put Bids together. " May 8, 2017 5.0 Makes our jobs so much easier with the search function - the whole team uses it on a daily basis. Pros The search function is by far the most handy tool for us to quickly find answers we have used before. It's like our own personal bid search engine. Cons It is not as good as Microsoft Word when it comes to wrapping text around images at the moment, though this may change with the new Word Editor which we are yet to try out properly. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 8, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. The new text editor has revolutionised the functionality and provided many more tools. Hopefully, once you become better acquainted with the improvements you'll agree. Please contact our help desk should you require any assistance. JR Julie R. Senior Bid Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for bid management" May 12, 2017 5.0 The storage of all previous bids. Pros It allows us to manage the process efficiently - we can see where people are with responses and also the fact that the answers are stored in of great use to us for future submissions. Cons The inserting of pictures can be very time consuming - would be much easier if you could cut and paste the images in rather than have to upload them and insert them. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 17, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Please take a look at the new Text Editor. You can cut and paste a picture (image) from a document without it being uploaded, or you can drag and drop it into the answer. Much quicker and a fantastic addition to EasyPQQ. VM Victoria M. Administrator Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent product to use, easy to use, and a fantastic team to work with! " May 15, 2017 5.0 It now makes my completion of a PQQ so much quicker and easier. Pros The convenience of all works being logged on one database with a one touch search for data that has been uploaded and stored for a quicker and more effective way to product a document. Cons That questions previously answered are not dated in chronological order when undertaking a search. I would like to see the most recently answered questions at the top of the list when searching for a previously answered question. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 15, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. We will be reviewing your suggestions at our Programming/ Development Meeting later this month. JO Jenny O. Assistant Bid Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great management tool for bids with the functionality to delegate questions to individuals." May 16, 2017 4.0 Being able to retrieve previous answers to bids and the ability to store documents in collateral. Pros Being able to store all standard certificates and accreditations in one place and seeing when they expire. Also the traffic light system is great to see stages of a bid and answer statuses. Cons Questions in PDF's aren't searchable if downloaded as one whole document. Takes a while to upload each individual questions from a bid onto Easy. When producing a Fact Sheet, it is limited to what fits in to the sections and can miss text out easily. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 17, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. AR Abee R. Bid Writer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Friendly approachable staff, clean simple interface" May 12, 2017 4.0 Efficiency. Pros Clean and simple to use. I can store my responses and use the search facility to find what I'm after rather than opening up hundred of past submissions. Cons Formatting and accuracy of the spell checker - I always finish my documents in word as find it more flexible to use. Hoping once I've used the new text editor I won't have to do this. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 17, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Our programmers have spent the last six months developing the new Text Editor which does provide you with a Spell Check. There should be no need to export your answers into Word. JG James G. Senior Bid Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very handy storage of library information." May 12, 2017 4.0 Speeds up bids through storage of essential information. Pros Very handy storage of library information, and easily searchable. Uploading of past bids is quick and effective. Easy to find past items too. Cons Overly complicated in creating bids. CV and Project Sheet designs are set in stone and could be more configurable. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 12, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Your comments have been taken on board and we will review whether additional training can be offered to Willmott Dixon so as to ensure any problems are resolved. Please contact either Cara Smith or Jeremy Gilbert. EH Enda H. QESH Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes searching previous answers easy - good functions" May 12, 2017 5.0 Quality of bids has improved greatly. Pros Ease of use and the support that comes with it. No issue to big or small for customer support team and issues sorted promptly. Cons Some minor bugs appear every once in a while. Some functionality is limited at the moment (e.g. landscape mode for pages). Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 12, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. The new Text Editor possesses a feature whereby you can alter the page layout (portrait or landscape). Please contact us if you require assistance accessing it. SL Sophie L. Business Development Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and practical. Never had any issues of major concern" May 12, 2017 4.0 Pros The range of features. Quick and simple to adapt to new features. Updates are usually really helpful. Staff at Propeller are excellent Cons Export documents are difficult to edit once in Microsoft word. There are too many steps to action certain features, especially in the attachments section. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 12, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Please will you contact Cara Smith or Jeremy Gilbert to talk through the difficulties you describe. So as to solve any problems with attachments (because there shouldn't be any) we'd like to better understand your requirements. KH Kerry H. Bid Writer Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I find EasyPQQ very easy to use and we receive excellent customer support for any issues. " May 8, 2017 5.0 Pros I like the ability to search previous answers and the ability to customise the forms to include additional information such as portal hyperlinks and passwords. Cons We have had a few issues with the new word format for the text editor so we are still working in the classic editor. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 8, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. I'm pleased you have started using the new Text Editor. Please do contact us if we can be of any assistance or making us aware of potential problems. AK Arion K. Bid Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It is easy to use and very useful particularly with documents that require quick turnaround. " May 8, 2017 4.0 A good way of organising your bid library and creating quick bid responses Pros Search tool; collateral; model answers (which I know is a feature in the process of further improvement); ease with which you can set up documents etc. Cons Inability to modify tables inside the editor (quite constrained in the overall format adjustment capabilities within the editor - which is understandable as one should not expect an all singing all dancing word application) Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 8, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. Regarding your comments on overall format adjustments within editor, are you referring to the Classic Text Editor, or the newly released one? In many ways the new Text Editor is more 'all singing, all dancing' offering additional functionality not available in the original programming. Please contact either Cara Smith or Jeremy Gilbert should you require any assistance in this regard. JH Julie-Anne H. Sales support Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Enjoy using the system, if there are any problems then the support team are fantastic!" May 14, 2017 4.0 as described in the review Pros Reminds you of any certificates that are about to run out of date and are out of date. Have muti used the system for Service Level Agreement for my business rather than just PQQ's. Cons Find it difficult to copy and paste tables onto the system and as I use the system for pricing documents this would potentially save me time, however I have now set up a master template so have created a shortcut for this issue. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 15, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. I'm pleased you find the master template works for you. You could try the new Text Editor and see if that works any better for you. AM Andrew M. Key Account Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good system producing high end client facing documents and tender submissions. " May 15, 2017 4.0 Pros The end result, looks very professional and something I'm comfortable sending over to existing and potential clients. I like the fact you can replicate previously completed documents and tweak accordingly for another company which saves so much time. Cons When copying an existing completed document over to replicate all or most of the content, issues such as images, text etc sometimes does not justify correctly and I have to ring Cara for help. Cara is excellent (and patient) in assisting with these issues when I call. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 17, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. CT Carmel T. Operations Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, creative" May 16, 2017 4.0 Its like a one stop shop, all relevant documents available in one place once uploaded. Pros Able to create a professional looking document in a few clicks and having the option to present it as word or pdf. Cons Styling can be a bit confusing, not really straight forward enough. It would be useful if you could adapt the document you are working on to be specific. Review Source Response from Propeller Studios May 17, 2017 Thank you very much for posting your review. We would be keen to assist you to ensure that the styling tools are not confusing. There is flexibility which allows you to adapt the template. To find out more, please contact either Cara Smith or Jeremy Gilbert. DC David C. Tenders and Bids Manager Utilities Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "'Search all content' in minutes, saves hours of research" May 8, 2017 5.0 As per my comments in questionnaire Pros Easy PQQ is excellent for searching all content from previous answers. I used to spend hours trying to find good answers to previous tender questions and now I can do it in minutes. Brilliant! Cons Two things - Paying full price for just using Easy PQQ as a content search function. Secondly - not being able to scan a supplier questionnaire in for completion and getting it back in the same 'corporate style' as it was scanned in.
