Thunderbolt Pipeline
Thunderbolt Pipeline is a cloud-based bid management system designed for contractors and subcontractors. It offers workforce management tools, customer relationship management (CRM) features, bid tracking and reporting.
Labor forecasting tools help users to estimate how many workers will be needed for upcoming jobs. Labor capacity can be updated as needed to match demand. Field collaboration tools include document and photo sharing, task assignment and automation, triggered reminders and real-time job notes. Users can also receive automated reminders for important dates.
Bid management features help users to view and prioritize active bids. Lost bids are also tracked, and users can view which company won the bid and by how much the bid was lost. Margin reports provide data on the types of projects that produce high revenue, and predictive growth tools are also available.
Pricing is per user per month. Support is offered through an online portal.

It's incredibly easy for us to pull up Thunderbolt during our weekly bid meetings. Having all of our information for our bids in one place has been hugely beneficial.
Pros
Our company loves how responsive team is to our questions and concerns. Team has repeatedly gone above and beyond to make sure Thunderbolt is a software that meets all of our company's needs.
Cons
Anything we have disliked about Thunderbolt has been addressed appropriately by the Thunderbolt team.
For example, once we started using Thunderbolt on a daily basis we came across a time management issue when entering in Workforce Phases for each job. Instead of selecting the phase we needed for a job, we had to go through and delete each phase that didn't apply. Once we brought this issue to Team, they suggested bringing in a drop-down menu to select the phase we would need for any given job. This has helped us substantially.

Instant visibility on estimating performance.
Pros
Thunderbolt has become a powerful tool for our company. We send out over 100 proposals a month and have struggled at managing the status of each, which initially brought us to the product. Now every proposal is logged into a company wide system where we can update status, easily analyze hit ratios by customer, project type, project value, & margin. Thunderbolt also allows us to simply track monthly estimate volume and individual estimator performance.
Cons
Not much to complain about. Any tweak in search ability has been updated promptly by the Thunderbolt team.
It is refreshing to have a software tool that just focuses on one important piece of our business instead of the "jack of all trades" approach that we have found disappointing in similar software offerings.
