FollowUp CRM is a focused construction sales CRM: pipeline, bid tracking, and follow-up accountability. SitewideOps includes a bid-board CRM and then carries the win through estimating, job costing, WIP, AIA billing, and certified payroll in one system.
FollowUp CRM does one thing with real discipline: it keeps a construction sales team accountable on every open bid. Pipeline stages that match how contractors actually sell, bid due-date tracking, proposals, and dashboards that show close rates by salesperson, that is genuinely valuable, and its integration list reaches deep into construction ERPs like Foundation, Vista, Spectrum, the Sage family, and QuickBooks. It is deliberately the sales layer in front of someone else's operations stack.
That design carries an assumption: that you already own an ERP doing the heavy lifting, and a way to bridge the two. SitewideOps takes the other path. The bid board CRM is built in, and the same system carries the won job forward: estimating by cost code, POs and subcontracts, crews in the field, SOV billing with retainage, certified payroll, and a WIP schedule your controller reads, all under one job number, with no handoff between a sales tool and an operations tool.
This table focuses on what happens after the sale. FollowUp CRM is strong at pipeline discipline and ERP connectivity; the rows below are the project and accounting capabilities a commercial contractor leans on once the job is won.

If the pipeline is disciplined but every won job gets re-keyed into a second system, or the middle of the job lives in spreadsheets, this is the gap.
Track job leads and bids to multiple GCs with due dates, per-customer pricing, and win/loss, and when a bid wins, it becomes the project without re-entry.
A source-document cost ledger by cost code and cost type: committed vs actual with cost-to-complete forecasting, so the numbers reconcile instead of being estimated.
Cost-to-cost work-in-progress by department and location with over/under billing and month-end snapshots your controller and bonding company can rely on.
Bill against a schedule of values, generate G702/G703 pay applications with retainage, and draft the AR invoice automatically.
WH-347 reports generated from the same field time that hits job cost, with prevailing-wage rate groups, no separate certified-payroll spreadsheet.
Dimensional general ledger by project, location, department, and cost code, with QuickBooks Online and Sage Intacct integrations built in.
Happy with your ERP? If Foundation, Vista, or Sage already runs your operations and accounting well, and all you need is a sharper, more accountable sales layer in front of it, FollowUp CRM is built for exactly that and may be the better fit. SitewideOps is for contractors who would rather run sales, operations, and the accounting layer as one system instead of a stack.
