When good info comes in basis board does what it promises for a fair price

Pros

I like the ability to track submitted projects and run analytics

Cons

It is a website so without internet access it cannot be used. Maybe a desktop version or offline sync ability in the future

Eliminated overhead, and gained efficiency with timeframe between receiving ITB's and estimators & account managers getting them on their "radar," previously it would take anywhere from 3-5 business days between receiving ITB and someone laying eyes on plans and specs, with BasisBoard that's decreased to one day, two at the most typically.

Pros

As a Specialties subcontractor in a very busy market, we typically receive well over 100 emails every day pertaining to ITB's, with many in duplicate/triplicate (or more). Typically these boil down to anywhere from 10-25 actual ITB's received every day, the majority of which we say "no" to after reviewing. Before BasisBoard, we had a person whose only role was to manually plug all ITB data into our own system, even for projects we weren't going to bid. BasisBoard essentially enabled us to eliminate the position entirely, and allows us to quickly and easily filter out the "junk" from the "treasures" without hours of needless manual data entry before getting to that point. The addition of BasisBoard's Plan Downloading feature further simplified the process, as previously the person in the role of manual data entry was also tasked with downloading all bid documents onto our own local server (meaning BasisBoard also saves us data storage space)

Cons

As someone who uses Bluebeam Revu daily, i find the navigation of plans in BasisBoard to still be somewhat tedious in comparison, but has improved since the initial release thanks to some improvements by the developers since initial implementation. A few minor additions to zoom in/out capabilities would go a long way.

Letting the machines work for us gives me more time to pay attention to the things that the machines cannot do.

Pros

So far, it is the reduction of time required to process our data now that BasisBoard has streamlines some of those functions.

Cons

The thing that people like least is usually change. However, change is how we progress, so we need to adapt.

Pros

I really like the inbox setup for getting bid invites from email to project, on the calendar. They have been great at working with us to understand our specific procedures and implement the relevant features that are available to us. They have also been fast to recognize feature requests that we have and implement them.

Cons

BasisBoard is a little bit on the pricey side, but it does a lot of really great things. This may not be the best for small companies, as it is packed with features. It would be nice to have better pricing plans with relevant features for every size business.

Reasons for choosing Downtobid

It had better features and was more directly suited for what we need.

Pros

I am getting far less bid invitation emails in my Inbox thanks to BasisBoard. Emails are compiled and presented in a way that is very organized and easy to manage. The fact that it is pulling bid invites from my Inbox as well as from others on my team is helping to ensure that no potential opportunities are missed. BasisBoard is a great tool for our Estimating team to track projects throughout the estimating process while providing valuable analytics along the way.

Cons

We have experienced some difficulty when attempting to merge projects and use the revision button to update bid packages or pricing. It seems a bit cumbersome and doesn't always update the way we expect it to. However, any support we have asked for has been great. When we ask for help solving this problem, I am positive that they will work to explain and/or fix any issues we have.

Reasons for choosing Downtobid

BasisBoard was an easy choice because of their willingness to customize to our needs. They also have continued to improve and create new features that will be very useful going forward.

We signed up for bid invitation management, but have realized there is so much more, like analytics that will be used often.

Pros

I like the simplicity of use when receiving bid invites and labeling them as I see fit.

Cons

My only gripe is that the login is not very efficient, but that is a minor nuisance.

Reasons for choosing Downtobid

It had the immediate features we were looking for, but also did a better job than the other software providers. In addition, it has other features planned that would be available in the future.

Basis is very user friendly and easy to use. There is constantly new features being added and most tasks can be completed in multiple ways making it easy for all types of users.

Cons

The analytics are currently being redesigned and that was the only area I had issues with so I am excited to see what they develop.

One of the benefits of using BasisBoard is removing one more task having to go through the emails finding bids and having to organize them.

Pros

My favorite feature while using this software is the automatic organization for incoming bid invitations.

Cons

There were a few things in the beginning when I first started using the software but with great communication from the support team we solved these issues over time.

Reasons for choosing Downtobid

I chose BasisBoard because at the time there were no other competitor that had that automatic email organization and I found it really interesting and wanted to give it a try.
