KISSIMMEE, FL--(Marketwire - July 6, 2010) - BidNerd (www.bidnerd.com), the first and largest online marketplace bringing together people in need of services with the providers who can do the work, is changing the way people find work and get work done. Professional property management companies, contractors and government leaders are finding BidNerd to be an efficient system for posting jobs or projects and evaluating service-provider bids.
Solving contractor frustrations
"I've been a contractor for more than 30 years, and when I saw BidNerd, I was sold on the concept and the site -- it had everything, almost the exact site I had wished I could create," said Scott, a veteran contractor in North Carolina who joined www.bidnerd.com on his first visit to the site. "I see BidNerd as a vehicle for contractors to build their business and restore integrity to the bidding process in general.
"BidNerd solves all the top frustrations of the process: bidding on projects, I never knew if we were bidding apples to apples, couldn't adjust my bid to be more competitive and rarely knew the winning bid price. And when accepting sub-contractor bids, I didn't know their background or reliability or if I was getting the best price possible, not to mention the hours spent meeting and talking to the bidders," he said. "BidNerd solves all of those problems. The site is so professionally done, so straightforward, with all the videos and step-by-step guides. I was really impressed with the site as much as the service itself."
Since BidNerd.com launched its online service in the U.S. and Canada in April, thousands of people have signed up for free membership. BidNerd enables anyone in need of a service to post a project for free, and automatically notify or invite service providers to submit a bid. For service providers, www.bidnerd.com offers free real-time notification of projects in their service area. Members then choose projects they want to bid on, using the patented Blind Bidding Room to know where they stand in the process and enable the ability to change their bid if needed to remain competitive and stay in contention for the work.
Efficiency and cost savings for property managers, government
"First, I could not believe that BidNerd.com was free to use, and then we got excited about the amount of time and money it will save us," said Celia, an office assistant with a professional property management company in Texas. She and a colleague spend hours every day calling vendors to get bids for work on the 30 subdivisions and condos their company manages. "With so many properties, posting jobs or projects will be a daily occurrence. BidNerd not only makes that process so much more efficient, but also frees our time to accomplish other things."
BidNerd's management team is also busy meeting with city and county government leaders about using the system.
"One county manager said he was looking for something just like BidNerd.com, and that his 'head was spinning of all the ways the county could use the site to save money,' even beyond services. We hear this all the time. We estimate savings of at least five, to 20 percent for projects posted to BidNerd.com, which can help a lot of municipal budgets in crisis across the country," said Cory Sneed, co-founder of BidNerd.com.
Projects posted on BidNerd range from home remodeling and renovation to landscaping, cleaning services, large-scale commercial construction projects, property management, restaurant and government-procurement projects. Anyone can register at www.bidnerd.com.
