Having designed Scale together with businesses just like yours, we felt that it was important to open up the platform to the larger world, for free, so that you could help us test it. In that time, over 3,200 businesses signed up and used Scale to <a href=\"https:\/\/scale.co.ke\/tenders\">search for<\/a> and apply for tenders. Scale new features<\/p>\n<p>You tested all the features and functionalities available on the platform. And most of you gave us feedback on what you appreciated about the platform and most importantly, what you felt we could improve and how much you would be willing to pay for it for your business. Your feedback came in the form of survey feedback, emails, chats, WhatsApp messages and even physical meetings.<\/p>\n<p>We listened, and we\u2019ve got something in store for you when we go live with the Scale system upgrade on the 12th of April 2021. We know you are anxiously waiting so today, we\u2019ll give you a sneak preview of what to expect!<\/p>\n<h4>New Scale Features, for a Better Experience<\/h4>\n<p>We categorized your feedback into clusters and worked hard to ensure that your highest priorities were developed first as Scale upgrades and the platform continues to evolve to meet your ever-evolving needs.<\/p>\n<p>The following is a summary of what to expect:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Subscription Plans<\/strong>\u00a0with affordable pricing that suit your business needs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Newly Enhanced Dashboard<\/strong>\u00a0to help you make better tendering decisions, faster<\/li>\n<li>Ability to add\u00a0<strong>Multiple businesses and Multiple users<\/strong>\u00a0for you to be more collaborative on your tendering.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Better Tender Recommendations and Notifications<\/strong>\u00a0on opportunities for your businesses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Follow Procuring Entities<\/strong>\u00a0for better targeted tender alerts from places you are prequalified or have an interest in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Expect these and so much more the next time you log in after we successfully complete the Scale system upgrade.
