SEBconnect brings local businesses one click closer to opportunity. This new tool was created to build awareness and educate small business owners in the Greater New Orleans region about opportunities available at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. By registering through the app, local business owners will be the first to know about the latest contracting and purchasing opportunities at the Convention Center, with real-time push and text notifications. And for those who are not yet certified to bid on these opportunities, SEBconnect makes the certification process (Hudson, SLDBE, LAUCP) easy and transparent. For those businesses who are already registered in the Convention Center’s SEB Program (www.exhallnola.com), simply use your existing log-in credentials to sign-in to SEBconnect. For new registrants, click the “New user? Register now!” button to be directed through the simple Registration process. Note: Those businesses that are not yet certified (Hudson, SLDBE, LAUCP) can still register into the system to view available opportunities. Simply click the “Helpful Links” page in the menu to be directed through the certification process. Once registered, log-in to SEBconnect to view all available opportunities that are currently live at the Convention Center. Search for specific opportunities using keywords (e.g. “Procurement” “RFP” “Electrical” “Janitorial”), and click the Opportunity to view details on how to bid. All key information and points of contact for the opportunity are listed there for easy navigation. Have questions about any part of the process? Visit the Contact Us and Helpful Links screens from the Menu. The best points of contact for Registration, Certification, Contracts & Purchasing, and Bidding are all listed there.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SEBconnect at 5.0 against LA Hire's 2.1. SEBconnect also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). LA Hire's advantage is ratings volume (81 vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 15 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
