I have used Hand Bid and a couple of other platforms. There are things that I like about them and some I don't like. GiveSmart should add the option to check in a husband and wife together, This would make the check in process go faster. GiveSmart also should make it easier to rent equipment. They should send out the information and explain why it is important for an organization to utilize iPads and swipers at registration.

There is little that I would change about our decision to go with GiveSmart. With the other programs we considered, GiveSmart was the clear winner. I suppose the only thing that would have been helpful would be to have known more about how the merger would happen.

I am not sure that I would change anything. We had a good team of stakeholders and a good list of products. We met regularly and easily narrowed it down throughout the process, and Give Smart was a clear winner. I think we are happy with our decision so far and will assess after contract year 1.

We actually vetted each potential organization through a comprehensive ROI process. We also followed up with each organization's references that each supplied and they all checked out. For us, what it really came down to in our initial decision is we talked to all our stakeholders and the person that donated the purchase of this system was used to using GiveSmart so we went with GiveSmart. Honestly, we wouldn't change the way we evaluated the competing mobile bidding software systems as we were quite thorough.
