Evoco Workspace Bid Manager
Eliminate administration hassles and cut cycle time with Evoco Workspace Bid Manager.
A key driver of your project's ROI is the ability to select the best general contractors and suppliers at the best price - and quickly. To do this well, you have to solicit dozens, if not hundreds of bids, managing a complex web of e-mail, phone and fax communications, as well as hundreds of documents, with many versions and markups. Manually processing all this information is slow, cumbersome, costly, and error prone - absorbing time project managers could otherwise spend fixing problems, finding efficiencies, or managing other revenue-generating projects.
Evoco Workspace Bid Manager is an optional add-on to increase the impact of Evoco Workspace. Key features include:
- Automating the bid management process with easy-to-use workflow - making estimators and project managers more productive
- Automatically compiling the latest documents into complete, accurate, and up-to-date bid sets
- Bidders can ask real-time questions anonymously, and owners can post both questions and answers to the Evoco Workspace online project center, ensuring a level playing field
- Personalized business rules give access to the right information to the right bidders. Distribution lists and customizable alerts ensure that bidders receive only the information they need, without being spammed with hundreds of e-mails, alerts, and notifications that don't concern them
- Online forms that ensure all bids are submitted in a format you specify, making it fast and easy to compare and easier to manage and match against your budget
- Allowing project managers to monitor bidding activity, so they know who's responded, who's not bidding, and ensure accountability
- Once the bid has closed, an evaluation matrix is automatically generated that clearly compares all the bid responses, helping the project manager to clearly differentiate the best bid choices
Evoco's bid software makes bidding faster and more efficient by automating the entire process, from preparing the bid package, to managing questions and incoming bids. Using the automated, anonymous communications system engages bidders while avoiding spamming them with unnecessary information, and ensures a level playing field with full information transparency. Standardized forms and automated bid comparison reduces errors and ensures selection requirements are adhered to, and maintains an archive of the bidding process as an audit trail.
And the bottom line is that Evoco's bidding management software reduces costs by reducing the printing and distribution of bid packages. And Bid Manager reduces project managers' time spend on managing the bid process, freeing up their time to drive progress on other projects. With the Bid Manager, you, like several of our current customers, can save up to 75% on administrative hours spent on the bid process management. These time savings shorten your bid process cycle time and minimize the opportunity for errors.
