A no brainer for our business
We reviewed BusinessBid alongside two other US-based software providers. BusinessBid had the most compelling demo, provided the greatest level of responsiveness, and very importantly provided the least "pressure-y, car salesman" sales pitch. From the start they presented themselves as a company worth partnering with.
Pros
The team at BusinessBid is incredibly responsive and has made me feel as if we have a dedicated concierge assisting us with implementation. The software is simple to use and loaded with features. We sourced this software specifically for running reverse auctions but the supplier management and RFP tools are equally capable. It's extremely intuitive and easy to get suppliers onboarded and ready to participate in auctions. It's realistic to expect that you can onboard the software on a Monday, invite suppliers on a Tuesday, run a couple practice auctions on Wednesday for the benefit of the suppliers, do the real thing on Thursday, and take Friday off!
Cons
I haven't encountered any cons. The price is fair and the overall value proposition is lightyears ahead of other providers.

BusinessBid review
Overall, it was a great experience working with BusinessBid. They went above and beyond to support us, especially during critical last-minute requests. Their dedication and problem-solving approach left a positive impression.
Pros
Their tech team stands out for being highly supportive and adaptable. They are extremely flexible and accommodating, always willing to implement the requests we bring to them, no matter how specific or last-minute they may be. This level of responsiveness has been invaluable.
Cons
This is less about BusinessBid itself and more about a shortcoming on our side. We didn’t allocate enough time upfront to thoroughly analyze our forms and determine whether they could be fully replicated within the platform. To maximize the platform’s potential, we would have needed sufficient time and a focused effort on fully customizing our forms with the assistance of their tech team.

BusinessBid offered a great alternative to the larger platforms available today
BusinessBid was a pleasure to work with. At the time I reached out, their platform did not offer what I needed but they were willing to spend time and understand what I needed and delivered quickly.
Not only did they deliver quickly, but they helped train our suppliers and users, created manuals and actively participated in the RFP process throughout to ensure any hiccups were addressed promptly.
Their service was excellent.
Pros
This software allowed me to issue a large scale raw materials RFP comprised of over 1200 raw materials and 55 suppliers with minimal training while reducing my workload considerably.
BusinessBid really worked with me to understand what I needed and customized the platform almost exactly as I needed it.
Cons
The platform sometimes requires too many clicks to get to a certain page or place but frankly, that's based on what we collectively designed and can always be improved upon later.
