Full Feature Set

One BidBoard.
Every Bid.

Helix Forge replaces the spreadsheet-and-sticky-note bid process with a single shared platform for bid tracking, estimating, contacts, and analytics — built specifically for construction contractors and subcontractors.

BidBoard & Bid Tracking

The center of Helix Forge: a live, shared board tracking every bid from lead to award. Sort and filter by stage, estimator, sector, source, and value. Resizable, customizable columns mean your board looks the way your office actually works.

  • Custom bid stages, sectors, and sources
  • Addenda tracking on every bid
  • Estimated vs. contract value split
  • Real-time refresh across every seat on the account

Contacts & Network

Every general contractor, subcontractor, and supplier your office works with, in one searchable network — with custom contact types and full project history attached to each one.

  • Inline "add new contact" while building a bid
  • Custom contact/company types
  • Project manager and billing contacts sourced straight from your GC contacts

Pricing Database

Stop rebuilding every estimate from a blank spreadsheet. Helix Forge keeps a running pricing database of your own historical costs, so estimates get faster and more accurate the more you use it.

04

Analytics & Win Rate

Know your actual win rate — by sector, by GC, by estimator — instead of relying on gut feel. The Analytics dashboard shows bid-win trends over time so you can spot which work is actually worth chasing.

Projects, Auto-Tracked

The moment a bid is marked Won, it becomes a tracked project automatically — no re-entering data. Pay app due dates, project coordinator, and billing fields come pre-populated from the bid.
