Introducing a CRM for Paving Contractors, by Paving Contractors

Recent explorations by our team have led to a pivotal decision - adapting these advanced tools for the landscape of the built world. At Edgevanta, we understand the needs of paving contractors. We are committed to delivering a CRM solution specifically designed by and for paving professionals. This tool will refine bid list management and provide data analytics, boosting the operational efficiency and insights of paving estimating and operations teams.

Getting the Party Started with Five Key Modules

Edgevanta is set to roll out five essential modules to transform our platform and your operational capabilities:

1. Bid List Management

2. Project Database

3. Competitor Profiles

4. Analytics & Reporting

5. DOT Portal

More Details and How They Will Pack a Punch

• Bid List Management: Gain visibility over your bidding process with tools that track bid statuses and project progression, clearly outlining who is working on what and deadlines. Improve upon excel bid lists or CRM tools that don’t address the unique needs of a contractor.

• Project Database: Access and analyze a database of your projects. Filter and report based on criteria such as jobs won or lost, allowing for strategic decision-making and report generation.

• Competitor Profiles: Stay ahead of the competition by accessing detailed analytics on your competitors' project wins and losses, providing you with a market advantage into what work your competition has on the books.

• Analytics & Reporting: Previously what was only 'margin analysis', this revamped tool will offer industry “best practice” reports and deeper insights allowing an understanding of your business’ operations at your finger tips. All designed to help you win more work at the right price.

• DOT Portal: Analyze Department of Transportation projects, separate from your regular project database. This focus will provide insights into areas where money is being spent and identifying potential opportunities.

Each module is designed to integrate into the daily workflows of paving contractors, providing tools and insights that add to your bottom line.
