Show more info on the main Address Book page
Currently the main list on the Address Book when you search shows Company Name, Contact, Email and Phone numbers. Can you add a column or two that will show 1) if there are notes on that subbie and 2) if there's a file attached.

EstimateOne Standard trades
Please give us ability to add in additional mapping trades. Engineering services, soil testing, asbestos testing, are typically "consultants" during preliminary stages of projects.
I would like to avoid any mix up of our structural and civil engineers with steel fabricators and drainage companies alike, per se.5 votes -

Add the ability to add the address when adding new contacts to tender
The ability to add the autodetect address when adding subbies to contact list via "Add Contact to Tender" from the "Invites & Responses" window.
Without this feature we will need to go back to the address book to add the address for every subbie that is added to tender.10 votes -

Not delivering to previously bounced address
When a tender request email is bounced back due to a temporary error, the system stops sending emails permanently and displays this error message instead.
The no delivery error could accumulate to hundreds until the team has some spare time to sort it out. It's also annoying to call people to ask about the email errors if this email is still working well.
Could we change the email delivery system to sending emails regardless? Therefore an error message will be a genuine error rather than "not delivering to previously bounced address due to a TEMPORARY error".8 votes -

Show how many quotes received from the subcontractor when inviting
When selecting subcontractor to invite to quote, we can only see their response rate, but not the quote number we received from them.
Can you make it shows how many quotes received from that subcontractor as well?
We can make it display "0 (100%)" for 0 quote and 100% response rate (who selected NQ) instead of just showing "100%". Or "1, 0, 100%" for 1 invitation, 0 quote, 100% respond rate.
Therefore it's much clearer for builders to decide who to choose between "1, 0, 100%" (bad) and "50, 40, 80%" (good).
Currently, we can only see "100%" (good) and…

Subcontractor Tender List in Draft
Other platforms allow the subcontractor tender list to be selected and saved in draft. This allows the estimator to prepare the tender list for review by the wider team prior to issuing packages.
13 votesHi Nicholas, thanks for your feedback. This is something that is currently on our radar. For the time being, we recommend creating a List on EstimateOne of the subcontractors for your team to review.

Tender Responses "Revised" and "Rates" Option
For the Tenders and Responses Page it would be good to be able to update a subcontractors status from "Quoted" to "Revised" for when they send in an updated quote.
Additionally it would be good to have to option to mark a subcontractor as having submitted and be marked of as "rates" for when they just send a generic list of rates as this isnt technically a "quote"

'Maybe Quoting'
Add a category to the Invites & Responses page called 'Maybe Quoting'. This will greatly assist senior management to call prospective sub-contractors and convince them to quote the project.
8 votesHi Michael,
We appreciate a tentative quoting option / “maybe” quoting would definitely be valuable in the procurement process. We are planning on reviewing the response statuses available, so we will take your suggestion into consideration. Thank you!
