Why tender teams choose ToolRecipe

Price sheets are not uploaded
Bids and price sheets are processed in the browser on your colleague's own computer. They are not uploaded for processing.
The same pack every time
Merging, signing and shrinking become one recipe, so every tender pack is built in the same order.
Calmer before the deadline
When a file changes late, you run the same recipe again instead of redoing every step by hand.
Next to your own software
ToolRecipe works on the files your drawing, office and calculation software export. No connection is needed.

How it works

  2. We set up your workspace With your order of documents, the size limits of your portals and your signing step. What is missing, we add
  3. Your team works from one place Colleagues open ToolRecipe in the browser. The way of working is ready for them

Frequently asked questions

Will the pack stay under the portal's size limit?

The tender recipe ends with a step that shrinks the PDF. You check its size against the portal's limit before you upload.

Are our price sheets uploaded?

Supported tools process files on the employee's own computer, and files are not uploaded for processing. This removes one risk; it does not replace your own security rules.

Can every colleague use the same steps?

The recipes above already give everyone the same steps today. For your company we set up your own recipes, with your order of steps and your settings.

What if a file changes the day before the deadline?

Run the recipe again on the changed files: the same steps, in the same order.

Does this replace our own security policy?

No. Processing on your own computer removes one risk: files going to outside services to be processed. Your own security rules still apply.

Where is ToolRecipe hosted?

In the EU. The site runs on servers in Austria, and ToolRecipe is run from Vienna. The tools work on your own device, so your files don’t go to us or to anyone else. The privacy policy lists what we store, where, and which services we use for it.

Do we need to install anything?

No. Your team opens a web address. Once the page has loaded, it also works offline.

What does it cost?

For companies we agree a price that fits the size of your team and what we set up for you.

Can it run on our own server?

Ask us. Because the tools do their work in the browser, running it on your own server is possible.

How do we start?

Try the recipe “Put together a tender pack” with a file of your own. Then leave your work email: we write back, look at one job that keeps coming back and set it up as your recipe.
