BID BLASTER SENDS PROJECT INVITATIONS VIA  EMAIL

Eprints4u Online Plan Room Bid Blaster module can handle sending out bid invitations and addenda email notifications by the thousands economically, without tying up your server or phone lines. When invitees receive their invitations via email they can click on their unique link to view the project without logging in. They can provide immediate feedback to General Contractors on whether they will bid and order plans.

FLEXIBLE BID PACKAGE CONFIGURATION

In addition to, and independent of, the document folders, bid packages can be created for each category of subcontractor involved in the project. The bid packages are then populated with the documents that the bidder is required to order.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT WITH BID PROCRESS INDICATOR

Another cost saving feature for your projects is the ability to instantly view the status of every bid invitee on a project, if they've
viewed the bid request, if they decided to bid or not, if they have ordered prints and when the prints were delivered. This way a
construction manager can become alerted of situations of low bid responses for certain trades in time for them to send out more
invitations. The subcontractors whose bids have been accepted are added to the Project Team.

AUTOMATIC PLAN HOLDER LISTS

Customers who place orders through the planroom are automatically added to the planholder list for the job. This list can be made available to the general contractor. E-mail notifications (i.e. regarding an addendum) can also be sent to this list.

CONTACT  MANAGER

Project Managers and Site Administrators can quickly access reports on everything ever ordered for a project, who ordered it,
and when it was delivered.

ORDER MANAGEMENT

General Contractors and Construction Managers love the ability to import their contacts from their email system and spreadsheets.
Each user has their own Master Contacts list, as well as access to a shared Company Contacts list for their organization.

EASY INTUITIVE PROJECT SETUP

 Creating and posting a project has never been easier. Simply  fill out a project description page, set the ordering options,
upload the project logo and a project rendering and off you go! Our bulk upload module allows you to upload files in one step.
Indexing is built into the viewer allowing heads-up data entry capture of title block information. You can even set permissions to allow a customer to setup their own projects, send nvitations, upload revisions, send addenda notifications, and manage reports.

ORGANIZE PROJECTS WITH FOLDERS

Project document sets can be organized into folders with no limitation on naming convention or levels of nesting. Folders
can be used to designate disciplines, specifications, addenda,  etc.

BUILT-IN VIEWER WITH WINDOW ZOOMING AND PANNING

Eprints4u Online Plan Room includes a lightning fast, feature rich document viewer that runs on the host. The user interface is
intuitive and the image area self-adjusts to display resolutions from 640 x 480 to 1600 x 1200 and beyond.

COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CART AND CHECKOUT SUBSYSTEM

Our advanced ordering system allows users to select shipping destinations and payment methods with ease. The itemized shopping cart makes every item in the order visible to the user prior to checkout. Your production personnel and project managers can be notified every time a new order is received.

REPORTING

Contractors improve communications and shorten decision processes with the reporting capabilities of
Eprints4u Online Plan Room. Reports include bid responses, project print orders history, project activity log
and more. Reports enable fast implementation of decision processes.

and FedEx embedded with the tracking number.

document check-in/check-out, revision control and notification, project contact management and
