With custom assemblies and automated costing based on supplier pricing data, Bolster's patented estimating software allows you to estimate accurately and quickly every time, no matter the type of work you do. Presentations transform what used to be static quotes into fully interactive point of sale experiences for homeowners in minutes, winning you more jobs. Offer upgrades, selections, and optional items, increasing your job size with customer initiated upsells, right in your proposals. Once projects are booked through the Pipeline CRM, automated Scheduling built right from your estimates communicate clear project and task timelines to contractor, subcontractors, and homeowners. Bolster's Client Portal allows customers to track project progress, and make payments online when tasks are completed. Contractors can receive those payments instantly using a Bolster Business Account, and spend with virtual and physical cards.

Description

As a contractor managing competitively bid projects, the success or failure of your financials hinges on what occurs in the field. This is why we developed a platform that translates the organizational skills of your project management team into actionable plans for your crew on-site. Our system will inform your field workers about their tasks, deadlines, and the time allocated for completion based on your estimated costs. Moreover, we will meticulously track their progress on a task-by-task basis throughout the project, delivering daily updates on profitability. However, our tracking goes beyond simply monitoring hours worked; we will also schedule hours and keep an eye on costs. By leveraging each worker's actual wage, we will evaluate their performance against the budget allocated for each task. Should your budget show signs of becoming unprofitable, you'll receive immediate notifications, enabling you to address the issue promptly and safeguard your financial outcomes. Additionally, this proactive approach not only helps maintain project profitability but also fosters better communication and accountability among your team members in the field.
