So, I have Bid Magic currently but they have gone out of business and will not have any future updates, etc...........
I haven't had time to research Jetbuilt or Portal yet but asking those that are using either for input. Pros and cons, etc.
Currently I use Bid Magic only for initial bidding but would love to know who is integrating with QuickBooks online. This is something I'm considering. We are only a three person company, not high volume.......

Used Quotewerks in the past and something before that I can't remember but last several years just doing the estimates with Quickbooks and attach any other needed documents. We are also very small with two owners and a few others part time.

We have been using horizon software CPS for years. No monthly fee, add your own products as you go. They have been around 25 years or so
There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

I cant believe BidMagic didnt sell. I think they even received an offer of like 250k from what I heard and they turned it down. IDK but 250k is better than 0k.

That being said I dont see any reason BidMagic cant continue to function for the foreseeable future. This is the best thing about locally hosted software. They cant just shut off a server somewhere leaving you high and dry.

We used quotewerks but it didn't provide the additional job costing abilities at the time (they may now). We switched to SimPro and although some learning curves (as with all software) we haven't had any issues with it. building you catalog is the most time consuming as you have to input each part manually (you can input CSVs as well) but would be nice if they were like D-Tools and already had a library of parts/suppliers/manufacturers that you can just select and it imports all the information for you.
You can't fix stupid
