For the past two decades — and continuing today — I've partnered with estimating professionals across fire alarm, security, access control, A/V, sprinkler, and construction industries. I've seen their dedication, their precision, and their frustration with tools that couldn't keep up.
That experience led to TOPQuote, the Fire Protection SaaS platform that changed the game — generating more than 200,000 quotes worth over $5 billion for companies like Convergint, Summit, and Pye Barker.
But even as TOPQuote grew, I kept hearing the same thing from professionals in other trades:
"We need this too — but built for our industry."
That's when I teamed up with a team of visionary real-estate entrepreneurs and investors who shared my belief that the bidding process doesn't have to be slow, siloed, or outdated. Together, we built something new — something bigger.
We built BidHero — a multi-industry bidding platform designed to simplify and accelerate how businesses quote, collaborate, and close. Featuring intelligent bid automation, live material pricing, and real-time customer engagement, BidHero helps companies cut bid creation time by 80% and speed approvals by 5×.
After 25 years as a consultant, entrepreneur, and software architect, I can confidently say:
BidHero brings together every suggestion, feature, and wish-list item I've encountered over my entire career in estimating.
You asked, and we delivered.
