Send a notice when a sub changes their bid status (daily report of all responses)
Send a notice when a sub changes their bid status...either from unconfirmed to yes or no, or from yes to no and vice versa. Doesn't have to be a notice for each sub, it can be a notice or email once a day at the end of the day with a list of the sub status changes and the jobs.
Show each project and then show a list that were:
Yes> Changed to No
Yes> Changed to Unsure
Unconfirmed > changed to Yes
Unconfirmed > changed to No
Unsure> Changed to Yes

Sync the Bidding Calendar to Outlook Calendar
senior management do not have access to Outlook. I communicate bid closings with them through Outlook. It would be great if the Pipeline Calendar could sync or export each new bid to Outlook.

Add the ability to make notes under a contractor on a particular project from the companies tab as opposed to only in the bidders list
It is more efficient to search for a contact, than to go through the project, bidders list, and find the person that way when you want to make a note for that contractor about a specific project. If you could search the contractor, click projects, and then under a specific project leave a note there that would show in the bidders list it may save a few steps

Allow addendums to be attached to all notices by email but not included in faxes
Allow addendum to be sent as attachment to those subs that receive notices by email without having it also (automatically) sent as a fax. Having complaints by subs receiving very large faxes when we are trying to quickly send out an addendum as an attachment.

allow subs to enter a reason why they are not bidding
We get a lot of emails from subs where they reply back telling us why they can't bid a job (schedule, etc), and in relaying that they often don't respond via the site. A short text field to give a reason could be helpful.

Add A Google Maps Image of The Project Location In The Invitation
It would be very beneficial if you added this so our subs could see an image of the project location in the invitation, that could be hyperlinked like you currently have the address hyperlinked.

Add a Send to Multiple option (for Invitations or Notices)
After my original blanket solicitation I may have go back and select a few more individuals to send to. If I want to only send it to those individuals and not the unconfirmed, etc group, I have to select them and push the "Send to Individual" button. Because it jumps me back to the Dashboard I then have to go back and choose a new individual, push the button, and repeat.
Please allow me to select multiple individuals.19 votes -
Within each job, provide a checkbox next to each company to select whether they are sent an e-mail when addenda are issued.
A trailer rental company doesn't need to get an e-mail when addenda are issued.

Allow bidders to respond with name of contact if different
Often there are many Salesmen, PMs or Estimators at a company. If we direct an invitation to an individual or an entire department, allow the responder to type in the name of the salesman/PM/Estimator who is actually bidding if it is different than who the invite was sent to.
15 votesGood idea Mike.

Bidders list, contractors bidding on multiple trades
On the bidders list where there is a contractor bidding on several different trades, ie: 2200 earthwork, 2510 site services, and 2900 landscaping, it should be defined under each what they are bidding on.
example when you are on the 2200 earthwork tab for a contractor, is should also list that they are bidding on 2510 and 2900, Instead of having to do that manually.

Allow non-pipeline users to access contact database
Our office currently has two users that send invites and keep the database updated. We would like it if the rest of the office could access the database and get contact information, email addresses, and phone numbers. Also to be able to print a nice list sorted by location or trade. It could be a different log in for administrative assistant and project management staff or have two levels of user permissions. You could sell the software with one price per full access user and another price per limited user.

Allow subcontractors when sending ITB's to mark any and all trades they will submit a bid for.
When a sub receives an ITB they can open the OPR and see what trades are attached to their company. However, if they are going to submit numbers for a trade that was not previously attached to their company it will not show in the system. For example, a sub is in the system as a rough carpentry sub but they also intend to submit for concrete work which is not in the system. When they reply yes to an ITB the system will only show they are submitting for rough carpentry. If while they were in the OPR they…

Allow font size anywhere
It would be helpful if anywhere you were able to type you were able to change font size, this could most definitely eliminate 2 page fax going out. This will allow all the information to be sent on 1 page instead of two. (cost savings)
