Our Story
Established in 2011, CRM Evangelist (now doing business as BidBookSoft) successfully delivered hundreds of CRM projects — from custom proposal processes to mission-critical call center deployments integrated with ERP systems.
In our first six years, we developed the “CRM Peak Performance” methodology. We noticed that construction customers consistently needed solutions the market wasn’t adequately providing. We filled that gap with custom software. Over time, repeatable patterns evolved into BidBook®, our comprehensive construction management solution. Today, our mission remains clear: innovate scalable business performance in construction.
BidBookSoft publishes packaged software and delivers customized solutions. Construction contractors rely on us for sales, bidding, and operations management.
