ECI Software Solutions has been making digital products for the construction, manufacturing, distribution, and building supply industries for over two decades. Their solution, Bolt Enterprise, is one of their most comprehensive. Bolt enterprise is a mobile and web-based scheduling and project management software for trade contractors of any size. They’re specifically suited for the residential new construction industry, making better ways to schedule, plan, and manage projects for home building businesses.
Managing and scheduling from on or off-site
Construction jobs are changing, and there are an increasing number of roles that take place off the job site. But that doesn’t mean you need to be disconnected. Bolt’s platform is desktop and mobile-friendly, meaning you can manage the project from wherever you do your best work.
Users can assign tasks, track job progress, and make changes live from any device. It keeps crews aligned with digital material lists and work orders while accessing job details and schedules in case you need to adjust or make even the slightest change.
Bolt Enterprise supports drag-and-drop scheduling, automation for work crew tasks and assignments, and seamless timeline rescheduling. No need to over-communicate every time you adjust the project. Once a change is made, everyone is on the same page.

Make estimates and manage inventory in a sustainable way
When it comes to construction estimating, Bolt Enterprise helps users deliver accurate job-tailored estimates that connect right to accounting and purchasing. From the estimate, users can generate materials lists automatically, track prices in real-time, and even scale their estimation workflow for higher-volume projects.
This highly intuitive workflow also simplifies materials and inventory ordering. Bolt Enterprise ensures every team has what they need when they need it for each project, meaning there’s no waste, no shortages, and no unnecessary ordering out of budget. Live inventory management means you never run over or short; Bolt even offers lot-specific cost calculations to maximize profit.
With some software solutions, a major deterrent is the lack of visibility. Features and apps are often siloed, and without a proper source of truth or integration, it can be just as disorganized as if you were working the old pen-and-paper way.
But Bolt Enterprise centralizes all of its features. Schedules, job details, costs, and materials information are in one user-friendly platform. This way, everyone on the team works with the same updated information, there’s no miscommunication about statuses or data between departments, and job progress is tracked in real time. Users can avoid the confusion and the game of telephone and get back to the important part, getting the job done.
