Problems We Solve for Plumbers

Plumbing contractors often face challenges around managing bids from multiple general contractors, handling service agreements and coordinating project timelines. Without the right tools, you may find it hard to keep track of opportunities, forecast revenue or manage client communications.

On top of that, plumbers often deal with data scattered across various platforms. TopBuilder’s ContractorBI™ brings everything together in one place, providing valuable insights through intuitive dashboards that help you make informed decisions and improve project profitability.

Identifying the Most Profitable Projects

With plenty of opportunities in the plumbing industry, your team has to focus your efforts on profitable projects you’re most likely to win. Competition is tough with over 113,000 plumbing businesses in the U.S.  – chasing every job can waste valuable time and resources. TopBuilder’s ContractorBI™ gives you powerful insights to drive your bidding strategy, helping you analyze your bid history, profitability, and win rates by contractor, project type, or market.

This allows you to hone in on the jobs that align with your strengths, diversify your business, and increase your chances of success. Plus, with built-in bid scoring and a plumbing-specific CRM, you can prioritize the leads most likely to convert into profitable contracts.

Managing Multiple, Time-Sensitive Bids

Staying on top of many different bids from general contractors (GCs)– sometimes for the same job from different GCs – isn’t easy. Aligning the scope of your project to expectations and following up is nearly impossible without a way to collaborate efficiently. TopBuilder’s bid tracking and bid management software unclog the process with automated workflows and notifications that help you stay on top of every bid.

Forecasting Revenue and Allocating Resources

When your bid details, estimates, project management plans, and financial data all live in separate systems or documents, it’s hard to get an accurate picture of your business and plan ahead. TopBuilder integrates with project management software and estimating software, along with ERPs and accounting solutions, so you can see all details for each project in one place and always have an accurate revenue forecast.

Creating Quotes and Proposals Faster

Plumbing jobs are often secured with narrow profit margins, so you can’t afford to waste time or resources spending days or weeks creating each quote and proposal. TopBuilder’s proposal management software converts Excel documents into professional proposals, reducing the time it takes to prepare proposals by up to 75%. Plus, with TopBuilder, you can quickly and easily attach photos to your proposals to seamlessly share all necessary information.

Simplifying Sales and Marketing Efforts

In the plumbing industry, competition is fierce, and staying top-of-mind with customers and GCs is key to winning new jobs. But with so much time spent on delivering quality work, it’s easy for marketing to fall by the wayside. TopBuilder simplifies this process with pre-built templates, automated email workflows, and email tracking, allowing you to effortlessly nurture leads and maintain relationships. Keep your pipeline full without pulling focus from your core operations.
