SmartBid is the best tool (and only one I've used) for bid distribution
Overall Satisfaction with SmartBid
It is primarily used by our estimating department to send out invitations to bidders.
- It stores the bid documents all in one place.
- Easy way to effectively communicate with a large number of people at once.
- The emails are pretty instantaneous when they get sent out.
- The interface seems dated.
- Most subcontractors can figure out how to get the documents, but very few actually respond to the emails as to whether or not they will be bidding.
- It is a big time saver compared to sending out individual emails.
- It saves time in having multiple individual databases for company contact info.
- It ensures that everyone is getting the same information.
I have not used another other companies similar to SmartBid
