Allow multiple points of download within a company team without having to authorise every single one.
Often more than one of my team download the same package from a builder. When we have to request the package from the builder, it doesn't make sense that each one of us has to do it (and likely annoys the builder, too). Once a package is authorised for a company to download, make it available to others in the company (so long as connected to account on estimate one) without having to request authorisation from the builder. This could be easily be controlled where the builder doesn't want this to happen by providing a 'release to person' and 'release…

Allow us to sort Spec Search results by date
When searching for our product, the search often yields pages of results. Would be great if we could sort the list of results from newest to oldest or oldest to newest.
5 votesThanks for your patience Amy.
We have now rolled out the ability to sort and filter spec search results the same as you can on the tender noticeboard.
The feature is currently being rolled out to all users and you should see it in your account in the next few weeks.

Allow us to search via Project Site Address.
As a supplier dealing with contractors and merchants we often get direct quote requests based on a site/street address not a project name and sometimes we are not even given a suburb. To then be able to find the project and offer quotes to everyone tendering becomes difficult and time consuming with the current search options.
8 votesGood news! If you search for the address using quotation marks around the project site address, this will bring up the project. For example, type in “45 Street name” and hit enter.
Happy searching! -

Weekly Report / Tender Reminders: Email feed needs a Filter per User
Our Company has users who require notice of different 'Categories' and also different 'Trades' of work.
A filter should be accessible on the Settings page to enable selective reports/reminders (e.g. "update you on projects that have been listed... AS RESIDENTIAL").Current generic/Company-wide email reports are often enough remarked as irrelevant/spam.
Enabling all Users to operate in a single Company account but still get relevant news from Est1 would be great!4 votesHi Byron,
Thank you for this feedback. Individual users of a team account can now turn on or off the emails in their user settings page.Filtering of emails and creation of reports will become part of a larger review in the near future, reorganising the way EstimateOne communicates with you on a weekly basis. Stay tuned for more info!

Notify supplier when products are specified
This would add significant value for us. Being able to be notified when our brand is specified would allow us to filter projects effectively.
31 votesFor suppliers there is a new feature called Speci-Finder that is now available. It enables you to set keywords that when found in the documents of new tenders will trigger an email report listing those projects on a daily or weekly basis.

Use of full date (year) and not just day and month.
As many of our projects run over several years from concept to completion it would be helpful to see the year and not just the day and month as used in many occasions.
2 votesHi Grant,
Our table and search results now display day, month, and year. Hope that helps! -
Add ID Number to tenders which you have been invited to so you are able to send quotes to multiple builders.
The ID Number appears on the Current Tenders page although when you have been invited you are unable to view an ID Number. Could you please add an ID Number to tenders which you are invited to?
4 votesThe project ID is now visible on the Invites & Requests page, to help you find and manage projects you’re working on.

Easy return to specification search
When doing a spec search and then looking for documents, when you hit the back button it takes you back to the beginning not the place you left off. Please correct.
6 votesThis is now corrected. Apologies for the error!

Show the Successful Tenderer of Each Project
I quoted 2 builders who were both unsuccessful so I would now like to contact the successful tenderer yet this does not appear in the system. Often the successful builder wins a job then asks for re-quotes for each trade

Add a "Quoted" or "Quote Sent" option for subcontractors to select in Invitations & Requests
Under invitations and requests, the tab with "response" that shows quoted etc. Once we have quoted not all builders will change it to "quoted". It would be helpful to have an option where we can change it to say " quote sent" so it's easier to filter through the tenders.
12 votesHI Karen,
This has been implemented and is available to use. Please let us know if you experience any issues with it. -
Allow subcontractors to compile all tender invites together on the company account
Allow subbies to compile all tender invites together in one place - regardless of who the invite was sent to. Also having the ability to assign tender invites to an individual user will help the estimating manager oversee and organise work flow
8 votesThis is now available under the “Team” tab, and the “Invites & Responses” tab. You’ll find filters on both pages that assist you in viewing your teams invites. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Link you with your other users so we can all see each others notes so salesman don't double quote projects Link you with your other users
To authorize sales consultants of the same company to view each another interest, activities in specific to the certain project.
1 voteHi Max,
All users of an account are actually able to see the notes left on any project by another user. If your notes are still not displaying, please first make sure that both users are on the same account (name and account ID are the giveaways). That’s the usual culprit. If there’s still an issue, please let us know and we’ll be happy to dig a little deeper. -
Show all projects on my Watchlist on the same page
As a Subcontractor there are a number of sites to monitor and maintain during the course of the day to stay abreast of all the work that we are chasing.
It would be great to be able to see ALL of the projects in one simple view, Open, Closed and Awarded Projects.
This just stops you forgetting about a project during the period of it being Closed and being Awarded.
If you are talking to another person regarding that project it is much easier to see all of the relevant information relating to that project in the one spot.

Sort projects as they were sorted
When I load a page in EstimateOne please sort projects as they were sorted last time I was on this page.
By default the tables are sorted on date added / date awarded. It would be good if when I update the sort and navigate off the page if the page was sorted in the same way when I go back to it.
1 voteHi Nicole,
The tenders page now restores the last sort and filter that was applied.
If you’re still having issues with this, please let us know. -
Thank you for our service however there is one thing that would assist me the 600Km radius is to small for WA there are many tenders that in
Although we do not generally do work out side of WA But WA is a large state which is not covered by the limitations of the 600Km there for we need a WA Search App so as not to have to search through the national App
1 voteHi There,
You are now able to filter the noticeboard by state – hope this makes life easier for you!

Add the ability to sort the watchlist by quotes due date
At the moment, the Watchlist is the only place I can see both tenders I have access to and tenders I have received outside of EstimateOne.
Unfortunately the functionality to sort this page by due date is missing, that would be helpful in managing workloads.
Though it would probably be handier if it was located within Invitations & Requests as that would give a central location to manage all quoting, requested/invited or selected.
9 votesThis feature is available on EstimateOne
By clicking 'Quotes Due' in your watch list you can sort it by descending or ascending due date.

Allow me to filter by closing date for awarded projects that appear in specification search results.
Currently any project will appear so long as it mentions the keyword I have searched for.
I would like to be able to filter the results to show projects awarded within the last 18 months.
