ProfitDig
Bidding and job costing software built for excavation, grading, and underground utility contractors.
About ProfitDig
ProfitDig provides specialized bid estimating, digital takeoff calculation, and project cost management for civil site contractors. Built specifically around earthmoving and infrastructure operations, the system structures proposals around unit metrics such as cubic yardage, trench lineal footage, and equipment operating hours. Estimators can combine equipment fleets, labor rates, subcontractor fees, and material expenses into modular bid templates that calculate markup percentages and profit margins automatically.
Once projects transition from bidding to execution, field crews and project managers log progress through daily construction logs and cost tracking tools. Field supervisors record equipment runtime, crew work hours, and delivery receipts directly via mobile interfaces. The engine pairs these actual job-site expenditures against original bid estimates in real time, revealing budget variances across distinct work phases before cost overruns impact overall contract profitability.
Subscriptions follow flat monthly pricing tiers based on active user counts without charging per-project fees or transaction percentages. All tiers include unlimited bids, historical project cloning, and customer support. Hosted on cloud infrastructure within the United States, the platform secures company records through role-based access controls and encrypted cloud storage for plan blueprints, field photographs, and material invoices.

Are accounting integrations with platforms like QuickBooks supported?
Native two-way synchronization with external accounting software such as QuickBooks is listed on the product roadmap, but active third-party software integrations are not currently documented.
