Hello Construction Qrew! Thank you to all who were able to make the Construction Meet Up on Tuesday, September 17 th . Here’s a quick recap of what happened: Kaity Strong, Solutions Consultant, did a walk-through of the CRM Bid Management APP (available in the Exchange) and hosted a customer Q & A on it.

The audience loved that feature!
