What Bidtracer is
Bidtracer is cloud-based construction CRM software that brings estimating, engineering, project management, takeoff, and finance tools together. It is designed for subcontractors, including mechanical, electrical, and controls contractors, as well as manufacturer representatives, distributors, and manufacturers. Its CRM tracks leads and opportunities, keeps client histories, automates communications, and can reuse information from earlier proposals. Bid management follows bids from budget to award, supports multiple customers per bid, and provides notifications and reports. The invitation tool shares plans, specifications, and addenda, tracks viewed addenda, collects proposals, and compares pricing in a grid. Estimating uses drag-and-drop tools and includes pricing for common manufacturers. Project management covers RFIs, change orders, submittals, procurement, documents, and labor schedules. Takeoff uses AI-based quantity detection on digital construction drawings. Bidtracer supports PC or Mac, iOS, and Android, and has a native iOS app. Pricing is from $57/user/mo; there is no free plan.
