### "Thank you"

June 28, 2019

4.0

It has useful features. It gives you almost everything what you need for bidding a project except ready sub list. Costumer support is very friendly, responsive and problem solver. They know what they are doing.

Pros

Functionality and costumer support

Cons

Adding a new company and sending a bid invitation for a project is 6 steps in total.

### "Great tool for tender process"

December 16, 2021

5.0

Construction tender/bidding with suppliers and contractors.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

### "Swiftender - Good Bang for Buck, But Better Options Overall Out There"

December 16, 2021

5.0

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

### "Great platform for getting RFP's out there to subtrades and contractors."

January 13, 2022

4.0

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Reason for choosing Swiftender

Ease of use.

### "How has this not existed before?"

May 31, 2019

5.0

It is a great tendering software for construction companies.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

### "Estimating Database Control "

August 7, 2019

5.0

Great - Great Team & Great Product.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Thanks for your review, Matt. Customer insights like yours are essential for making SWIFTENDER enhancements and launching new features. Additional document control options were added in a recent update. You have the option to password protect the e-plan room on a project-by-project basis. Further, you can always remove someone from an invitation list which will rescind their access to the e-plan room. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need assistance with these or other features. We are standing by to help. Again, thanks for leaving your review.

### "This is a great product for General Contractors sending out Tenders to Subcontractors"

December 17, 2021

5.0

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Reason for choosing Swiftender

Swiftender offered a better product than the one we were using.

### "Swiftender Review"

December 20, 2021

5.0

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Reason for choosing Swiftender

We chose Swiftender because it was the first product we had really heard of as well as \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] came directly to our office and listened to ways he could develop the product. We were sold after the first visit!

### "Bidding made easy"

December 23, 2021

5.0

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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

### "Tender Platform"

December 17, 2021

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "The best tendering software on the internet"

May 28, 2019

5.0

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.

Pros

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

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

### "Excellent bidding software with ease of use and great customer support "

May 29, 2019

5.0

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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

### "Swift Tender"

January 10, 2022

5.0

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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