Contractor CRM software for managing bids, clients & projects.
Track every bid, organize every subcontractor, and keep your project history in one place. When client details live in spreadsheets, text threads, and sticky notes, things get missed. A missed follow-up on a bid means lost revenue, and a forgotten change order means an unpaid invoice.

Why General Contractors Need a Trade-Specific CRM
Generic CRM platforms like Salesforce or HubSpot are built for sales teams closing deals through email sequences and phone calls. General contracting does not work that way. A GC's sales pipeline involves site visits, detailed estimates, competitive bids, and projects that span weeks or months. The relationship continues through every phase of construction.
A GC's records must handle
- Bid pipeline tracking from inquiry through signed contract
- Multi-property clients for developers and property managers
- Subcontractor records with certifications and insurance docs
- Permits, blueprints, and inspection records per job
- Change order history tied to specific projects and clients
Built for sales, not construction
- Email-sequence pipelines instead of project records
- No place for subcontractor insurance or certifications
- One contact per account causing multi-property chaos
- Nowhere to store permits, plans, or lien waivers
- Details lost across spreadsheets, texts, and sticky notes
Structured around GC realities
- Bid tracking with follow-up reminders on every proposal
- Multi-property client profiles with full project history
- Subcontractor records with insurance and rate sheets
- Project-level document storage for permits and plans
- Communication logs any team member can pick up
Key features of Bella FSM contractor CRM software
A client database built around how general contractors actually work, bids, subcontractors, permits, and projects that span months. Every account stays organized and every follow-up gets made.
Client & Property Profiles
Store homeowners, property managers, developers, and architects with addresses, site details, and complete project history for every property.
Bid & Estimate Pipeline
Track every proposal from inquiry to won or lost, with follow-up reminders, bid amounts, scope notes, and win-rate analysis by project type.
Subcontractor Records
Keep trade specialties, insurance certificates, license numbers, performance notes, and rate sheets for every crew you call on.
Project Document Storage
Store permits, blueprints, inspection reports, change orders, and lien waivers at the project level reachable from the office or the field.
Follow-Ups & Repeat Business
Reminders for seasonal check-ins and lapsed clients keep you on the radar of the developers and homeowners who rebook and refer.
One Record, Office & Field
Superintendents open the same client profile the office sees; notes captured on site show up instantly back at the desk.
Manage Clients & Properties in One Place
General contractors work with diverse client types. A residential remodel client has different needs than a commercial property manager overseeing multiple buildings. Your CRM should reflect that complexity. Bella FSM stores detailed client profiles that include:
- Contact information for homeowners, property managers, developers, and architects
- Property addresses and site details for multi-location clients
- Complete project history showing every job completed at each property
- Notes from site visits, phone calls, and walk-throughs
- Invoice and payment records linked to each project
- Document attachments including contracts, permits, and photos
Track Bids, Estimates & Win Rates
For general contractors, the bid process is where revenue is won or lost. Most GCs submit 5-10 bids for every project they land. Without a system to track where each bid stands, follow-ups get missed and opportunities disappear.
- Track every bid from initial inquiry through acceptance or rejection
- Set follow-up reminders so no proposal goes cold
- Record bid amounts, scope details, and competitive notes
- Analyze win rates to understand which project types convert best
- Convert won bids directly into active projects with a few clicks

Pro Tip · Improve Your Win Rate
Follow up within 48 hours to win more bids
Contractors who follow up within 48 hours of submitting a bid close at nearly double the rate of those who wait a week or more. Use CRM follow-up reminders to stay on top of every open proposal.

Manage Subcontractor & Trade Partner Records
A general contractor's network of subcontractors is one of their most valuable business assets. Electricians, plumbers, framers, painters, roofers, concrete crews — you need reliable partners for every trade, and their information accessible when scheduling jobs. Because these records connect with the trade sequencing and crew calendars, you can check availability and assign a sub to a project phase without leaving the screen.
- Company name, contact info, and trade specialties
- Insurance certificates and expiration dates
- License numbers and certifications
- Performance notes from past projects (quality, timeliness, communication)
- Rate sheets and preferred payment terms
How CRM Connects with Scheduling & Invoicing
A CRM that lives in a silo creates double data entry and information gaps. Bella FSM integrates CRM with the trade sequencing tools and the progress billing tools so data flows through your entire operation. Your office staff enters information once, and it flows through scheduling, dispatch, job completion, invoicing, and payment tracking without re-keying data at each step.
- Client and project details carry through from the CRM to the job schedule automatically
- Completed project milestones generate invoices with the correct client information pre-filled
- Payment history feeds back into the client profile for a complete financial picture
- Subcontractor schedules connect to project records for full visibility
Built for Multi-Project, Multi-Trade Operations
General contractor records must handle complexity that generic tools cannot. Instead of forcing your project data into a generic sales pipeline, Bella FSM gives you the fields, categories, and workflows that match how GCs actually operate. Explore all field service CRM features to see what is included.
- Multiple active projects across different job sites and clients
- Subcontractor coordination across trades (electrical, plumbing, framing, finish)
- Bid pipeline management with dozens of open proposals at any time
- Document management for permits, inspections, and compliance
- Long-term client relationships that span years and multiple projects
