Pantera Tools review

Pantera Tools ranks ninth as an all-in-one option for general contractors who want bidding and prequalification in the same place as project management. Its invitation to bid tool lets you send ITBs while keeping your subcontractor network private, and ProQual screens subs and suppliers before you hire them. A white-label plan room and file sharing hold the bid documents, and Pantera says its public directory gives access to more than 1.2 million subs. Beyond bidding, it covers project management between owners, general contractors and subs, job costing, and integrations with QuickBooks, Sage 100 and Sage 300. Pantera has operated since 2009 and is now part of Hubexo North America. It ranks last because no prices are published, its pricing page was missing when we checked, and the vendor gives less detail on bid leveling than BuildingConnected, Procore or KNTRCTR.
