ProTendering procurement support

Purpose and goal: The purpose of the project was to increase usability mainly in two perspectives, described by the two goals:

- To develop functionality, in addition to handling Word documents, to also be able to handle PDF (difficult-to-read unstructured text format) - requested by customers

- To develop CUSTOMER-DRIVEN reporting functions that meet specific needs in the private and public sectors, respectively

Both goals have been met, verified in connection with the launch, not least from presentations in connection with the fair Mötesplats för offentliga affärer Expected results and effects: The project has

hired expertise that developed function for PDF incorporated in the launched version. In addition to buyers, a created great interest shown from sales to get an overview of requirements by scanning PDF files. Several discussions ongoing with large customers

Had customer dialogues where color presentations highlighted as extra valuable. Spinoff: development of pre-step analysis, with the opportunity jump between suppliers in the software itself without a report. Approach and implementation:

Initially for PDF was with Swedish expertise. Progress was to slow in relation to cost. Programmer from Asia hired. Very successful, programmer with perfect experience hired full time, why full functionality already implemented for launch version in November

Report function with many customer contacts more difficult than expected. Instead, in-depth discussions with a few with very good feedback, already implemented or planned. Functionality instead verified afterwards by large number of customers.
