"BidBook helps us close projects and visibility into backlog"

Overall: We were able to see where we were closing bids. Good workflow and reminders. Good reporting

Pros: Workflow between office and sales. Love that it works on Salesforce. Affordable.

Overall: Tracking our bids, and giving our salesman an organization tool. We send out 25+ bids a week and they need something for them to remind them to follow up. We will eventually use it for reporting as well.

Pros: I created multiple diagrams describing our companies workflow. BidBookSoft used these diagrams and took the time throughout multiple meetings to understand our workflow. From there, they structured BidBook to fit our workflow. This made the software feel proprietary to our company. I enjoy how user friendly the software is and how smoothly it runs. When you click on an object or link its instantaneous. The ability to track multiple bids for one project is the main reason we chose Bidbook, and so far seems to work well. I hope the more we continue to use it, the more we get out of it.
