Why Engineering Firms Need a CRM Built for Pursuits
Chasing engineering projects isn’t like typical sales. Proposals are loaded with technical specifications, sales cycles stretch out over months (or years), and most CRMs simply aren’t equipped to handle design-driven pursuits. Without the right system, teams struggle with:
Missed Pursuits and Lost Opportunities
Without a centralized system to organize pursuits, project leads can easily get buried under piles of emails, spreadsheets, and scattered bid invitations, often disappearing before your sales team even has a chance to engage. And when these leads involve long-standing client relationships or agency prequalification lists, missing them can mean losing future contract opportunities.
Not Designed for Project-Based Sales
Traditional CRMs simply can’t handle the long, winding sales process that often includes multiple stakeholders, technical review boards, public works agencies, procurement offices, financial approvers, and layers of design review unique to the engineering industry.
Manual Data Entry Across Systems
Key project and client info lives across countless spreadsheets, overflowing inboxes, and disconnected file servers. This constant back-and-forth between platforms wastes valuable time for your technical staff, increases error rates, and makes it difficult for your sales team to access updated data to manage client relationships effectively.
Low Visibility, Difficult Forecasting
Leadership often finds it nearly impossible to gain a clear view of the upcoming design workload or backlog. With disconnected data sources, shifting project schedules, and unpredictable client funding cycles, forecasting staff utilization, cash flow, and backlog becomes an ongoing challenge.
The engineering industry deserves a customer relationship management platform built specifically to align project pursuit, workload planning, task management, and long-term client relationships.
Key CRM Features Purpose-Built for Engineering Teams
A no-fluff look at the CRM features built for how engineering firms pursue and win work.
Project-Based Sales Pipeline
Track pursuits from the initial identification of RFIs and funding opportunities, through strategic go/no-go decisions, prequalification processes, shortlisted interviews, detailed technical design submissions, scope clarifications, client negotiations, and finally, contract award and project kickoff.
Proposal Automation & Resume Management
Quickly assemble qualifications packages by pulling from fully updated resumes, staff certifications, licensure details, project history with scope descriptions, technical design specialties, unique firm capabilities, and past performance metrics, all stored in one centralized, easily searchable database tailored for engineering pursuits.
Centralized Client & Project Data
Maintain one source of truth for agency contacts, teaming partners, project owners, technical scopes, jurisdictional requirements, funding agencies, subcontractor relationships, and detailed project specifications—all organized and accessible in one centralized system engineered for the way your firm operates.
Revenue Forecasting & Workload Planning
Analyze fee revenue for multi-phase contracts, anticipate staff needs by discipline, and assess design capacity based on your pursuit pipeline—all driven by real-time pursuit data for accurate planning. Use customizable dashboards for instant visibility into key metrics, monitoring backlog, proposals, workload, and revenue forecasts.
Real-Time Collaboration Across Teams
Keep your business development team, project managers, technical staff across multiple disciplines, the sales team managing pursuit strategy, executive leadership overseeing firm growth, and key client contacts fully aligned on pursuit stages, evolving client expectations, technical proposal requirements, and long-term relationship development.
