Bid, Price, and Manage Construction Jobs in One Platform
Most small construction companies run three or four different systems for one job — a bid tool, a separate estimating spreadsheet, a project tracker that doesn’t talk to either one, and a billing process bolted onto the end. Every handoff between those tools is a place a number gets re-typed, double-checked, or lost. "All-in-one" software promises to fix that and usually just means five products with the same login screen, not one connected record.
What "one platform" actually has to mean
Not a shared login — a shared job record. A bid won has to become a real budget without anyone re-entering the numbers. A change order approved has to update that same budget automatically. Field hours logged have to land in payroll and in the job’s actuals without a second entry. If any of those handoffs still needs a human to copy a number from one screen to another, it isn’t actually one platform yet.
How PoPs Project Tracker does it
Win a bid in Construction Bid Manager or price a job in PoPs Estimating, and it becomes the real starting budget here — nothing re-typed. From there, PoPs Project Tracker runs the job day to day: budget vs. actual tracking, monthly actuals synced to real invoices, native progress billing (G702/G703, retainage, lien waivers), and RFIs, Submittals, and Change Orders running through PoPs APM (Assistant Project Manager) — the connected layer that keeps that paperwork in the same system as the money. Field hours and progress push in straight from PoPs Field, and cost to complete recalculates automatically per cost code as the job moves.
Where this fits
This is the hub — Construction Bid Management Software covers what happens before it, PoPs Estimating covers pricing the work, and PoPs Ledger covers billing and payroll once the money side needs its own depth.
Who this is for
- General Contractors — Running the whole job lifecycle themselves.
- Project Managers — Running jobs day to day once they’re won.
FAQ
Does this replace separate AIA billing software?
Yes — progress billing (G702/G703, retainage, lien waivers) is native, not a separate export step.
How does a bid actually become a budget here?
One click from Construction Bid Manager or PoPs Estimating — the numbers already priced become the starting budget, nothing re-typed.
Is this only useful if I buy every module?
No — it works with just the win-to-closeout core. Modules like PoPs Field and PoPs Ledger add real depth when they’re active, but PoPs Project Tracker runs on its own.
