Desktop Planroom
What it is
Desktop Planroom is a Windows application for managing construction bidding documents, bidders, contacts, and projects. AI can extract project details, contacts, and bid information from uploaded documents, while full-text PDF search locates specifications, notes, and other details. Users can track bidders, bid amounts, results, addenda versions, and acknowledgments. Contacts are organized by trade. A bid calendar covers bid dates and pre-bid meetings, with the homepage also mentioning reminders and calendar integration. The application sends bid invitations, addenda notices, and updates, and keeps message history by project. Projects can be published online so bidders and team members view documents, download files, and receive updates. Import and export support covers projects, contacts, bid results, and project data, including Excel and other formats. The Free plan costs nothing. It is version 0.1a for Windows and requires 64-bit Windows 10 version 1903 or later, 4 GB RAM, and 500 MB disk space.
