The platform's ability to create new jobs quickly and add various trades to invite lists effortlessly is also highly commended. Additionally, users value the centralized location for past and current RFPs, making document sharing a breeze. Swiftender's bid management dashboard provides users with a clear overview of the bid situation, allowing for informed decision-making throughout the bidding process.

### Document Control
User sentiment regarding Swiftender's document control capabilities is varied. While some users appreciate the ease of document sharing and the centralization of RFPs, others express concerns about limitations in file types supported and the lack of integration with platforms like Google Drive. The feature allowing for revisions and addendums is highlighted as beneficial by some, but issues with date information generation in file names create confusion for others. Additionally, there are mixed opinions on the security aspect of document control, with some users noting the lack of control over shared links as a potential drawback. Despite these mixed reviews, Swiftender's document control functionality remains a key aspect of its service offering.

### Project Tracking
User sentiment regarding Swiftender's project tracking capabilities is varied. While some users appreciate the ease of creating and managing projects, as well as the ability to track emails and bidding contractors efficiently, others express concerns about the time it takes to upload new jobs and the issue of irrelevant comments carrying over from job to job. The platform seems to offer a streamlined process for tracking RFQs and project interest, but there are ongoing concerns about certain program flaws, such as the inability to edit uploaded project packages. Despite these drawbacks, users acknowledge the time-saving benefits and the overall improvement in coordinating subcontractors and project bids through Swiftender's project tracking features.

### Subcontractor Coordination
Opinions vary on Swiftender's subcontractor coordination efficiency. Users appreciate the ease of sending out documents for tendering purposes and the time-saving aspect of tracking bidding contractors. Some users find it challenging to send specific emails to certain contractors with unique requirements. The ability to customize invitation lists and provide easy access to plans rooms without passwords is a standout feature for many. However, concerns have been raised about the inability to alter tender documents once uploaded and the potential inconvenience of multiple emails being sent out for revisions. Despite these drawbacks, users generally find Swiftender to be a valuable tool for coordinating with subcontractors in the construction bidding process.

### Communication Tools
Opinions vary on Swiftender's email communication features. Users appreciate the ease of sending documents for tendering purposes and the ability to track emails and bidding contractors efficiently. However, some users find challenges in sending specific emails to individual contractors, especially when requirements vary across disciplines. While some users encounter issues with email reporting, others suggest improvements in the calendar feature and the ability to send copies of emails to subcontractors. The inability to alter tender documents once uploaded is a common concern, leading to multiple emails for revisions, although a solution is anticipated in the next update.

### Time Management
Users unanimously praise Swiftender's time-saving features for streamlining tender invitations and document sharing processes. The platform's efficient time management functionalities have significantly reduced the time spent on sending and following up on responses, enhancing overall tracking capabilities. While some users note minor delays in uploading new jobs or drawings, the majority appreciate the ease of use and the prompt customer service responses for issue resolution. In essence, Swiftender's time management capabilities have garnered positive feedback for their effectiveness in optimizing workflow efficiency.

Swiftender is a software product that streamlines the tendering process and helps users save time. With this platform, users can easily send out RFQs, RFPs, and addendums to subtrades, suppliers and contractors. The software also allows easy tracking of who has received the documents and who hasn't, eliminating the need for follow-up emails. 

Another benefit is centralization: Swiftender makes it easy to collect documentation and share it directly with subcontractors. This way, the platform reduces the need to send personal emails with documents, saving even more time. Additionally, Swiftender provides useful feedback on bidders' engagement level, making it easier for users to adjust their bid submission strategy. Ultimately, the program improves productivity and creates efficiencies within companies during the tendering phase. As users attest, Swiftender is super easy to navigate around freeing up precious time for admin staff.
