If you're running Viewpoint Vista or Spectrum, you already have a powerful ERP managing your accounting, payroll, project costs, and operations. What it doesn't do is manage your sales pipeline — and that gap is where contractors lose winnable work.
This is exactly why construction companies running Viewpoint pair it with a dedicated CRM. Here's what to look for, and why Followup CRM is the best fit.
What Viewpoint Does Well — and Where It Stops
Vista and Spectrum are built to manage everything that happens after a project is awarded — job costing, subcontractor payments, payroll, project financials, and reporting. They're accounting and operations tools at their core.
What they're not built for is the business development side: tracking bids, managing follow-ups, holding your sales team accountable, and giving leadership visibility into what's in the pipeline. That's the role of a CRM — and the two systems work best when they work together.
What to Look for in a CRM for Viewpoint Users
Not every CRM integrates with Viewpoint, and most general-purpose CRMs aren't built for how construction companies sell. When evaluating options, look for:
Native integration with Vista or Spectrum — data should flow between systems without manual entry
Construction-specific workflows — bid tracking, follow-up management, and job-based pipeline views that match how contractors operate
Visibility for leadership — dashboards that show what your sales team is doing, not just what's been logged
Ease of adoption — a CRM your team won't use is worthless
Why Followup CRM Is the Best CRM for Viewpoint
Followup CRM was built specifically for the construction industry — not adapted from a generic sales tool. It integrates directly with both Vista and Spectrum as a certified Trimble Marketplace partner, meaning your sales data and your accounting data stay in sync automatically.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
Contacts and project information created in Followup CRM push directly into Viewpoint, eliminating double entry
Accounting data from Viewpoint pulls into Followup CRM to give your sales team an accurate, real-time view of the pipeline
Leadership gets one centralized dashboard showing every lead, bid, and follow-up — with full visibility into team activity
The result is a single source of truth across your sales and operations teams, fewer errors, and no opportunity falling through the cracks.
Built for Every Type of Construction Contractor
Whether you're a general contractor, specialty trade, roofing company, HVAC contractor, or electrical contractor — Followup CRM is designed for the way construction businesses develop work. It tracks bids, manages follow-ups, and gives you the pipeline visibility Viewpoint alone can't provide.
