BasisBoard is a bid management software that helps businesses build an online bid board and track bid invitations on a centralized platform. It connects to your inbox, recognizes bid invite emails, and pulls the data into a dashboard instantly (deadlines, bidders, addendas) with zero data entry.

This software is very clean, organized, and user friendly which makes it easy for everyone to learn and operate quickly. The customer service is excellent for this software.

Receptionist/Payroll 

I love how organized it is. I love that you can customize your view and filter it making it easier to see who is bidding on a specific project.

Designers have made the software super easy to use and follow and it provides the opportunity to have everything organized in front of you.

Senior Project Manager

The software is excellent at keeping track of all of our bid requests and our proposals. Previously we used Excel, but this is so much more helpful and far easier.

The free trial was a great way to allow us to get the system up and running before rolling out to the Estimating team.

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.

Junior Estimator

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

Risk Analyst

Basis's customer support is unlike any other software company we'eve seen. They take the time to set things up with the team, host free trainings, and also take your feedback into the product.

We have experienced some difficulty when attempting to merge projects and use the revision button to update bid packages or pricing.

Director of Estimating

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

Airtable

Microsoft Excel

Extremely happy and looking forward to what new features they come up with. 

Better control of bids for subcontractors

Saves me 5 hours of manual entry a day

BasisBoard is a valuable multi-tool for our Estimating Process

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.  

We Love BasisBoard!

Basis Review

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.

Amazing software!! 

Best BidBoard in the market

The product has been huge asset to the company, the intergration of the technology was seamless and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]  were extremely responsive to all my teams questions and suggestions. 

Great Product - Customer Service is Top Notch

The service from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was second to none and he assisted with all our questions and set up needs.

The free trial was a great way to allow us to get the system up and running before rolling out to the Estimating team.

The BasisBoard system now plays a pivotal role in the Estimating department at IDSL and has made an instant impact on the way we manage our enquiries.

I will be recommending BasisBoard to all my contacts in the industry and look forward to working with the team in the future.

Imperial Ductwork Services Ltd - BasisBoard Review

Packed with Exactly the Features we Needed

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

Great Bid Invitation managing tool

Overall, a great product that I would recommend to all of our subcontractors and suppliers, especially those that may be struggling to keep their bid efforts organized and timely.

Great tool for subs and suppliers looking to keep their bids organized.

We are no longer tracking our bid analytics in a spread sheet.  also, we are not managing bids with a spread sheet. this is more efficient. 

BAsisboard 

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

Work smarter, not harder

BasisBoard was a great choice!

saves time instead of looking for multiple gc's to bid to they are all there linked together.

1st day use of basis

I love it. I think it has helped us become more organized which has made us all better estimators. 

Promising Software 

BasisBoard has been a huge help to our daily operation.

Great Software!

I am appreciating have our submitted bids tracked and logged and having reminders sent to me to follow up.
