OBJECTIVE: Make
available to owners, contractors and end-users robust
software packages that are inexpensive ($40 - $100) and
can pay
for themselves in one (1) project.
WHO: We started
Profit Developer.com as a small company that markets five
(5)
Microsoft© hosted Excel™ spreadsheet software
products. The programs are Excel™ based and require
the user to
own Excel™, but do not require
the
user to be a spreadsheet expert or user. All
inputs
are easy dollar, quantity or percent fill-ins.
WHERE: Profit
Developer.com started in San Diego, California. Sales
of the products are worldwide.
WHEN: We started as a software design company
called Profitdeveloper.com in February 2003. Initially,
the design of the proprietary Horizontal
Communications Cabling bidding software
started back in 1994 followed by the start of the Cable
Bidding /Tracking software suite in
1996 which we used in our business. In February 2010,
we decided to add a site name that fit the quick bidding
capabilities of the software by opening up BidQwik.com.
Either way, BIDQWIK.com (bidding
quickly) and Profitdeveloper.com (bidding
for profit), are the same products.
WHAT: There are five (5) software packages:

WHY: Many
programs we found required sophisticated servers, proprietary
code, SME (subject matter expert) support that didn't exactly
give us what we needed and they were always very $$ costly.
