Capture Management
Track and optimize your capture process — stop bidding reactively.
Pipeline analytics, win/loss tracking, a capture plan builder, and opportunity scoring that help you decide what to pursue and start early enough to win.
Requires any BidGovPro edition. One-time purchase, no subscription.
Deals are won before the RFP drops
Ask any capture professional and they'll tell you the same thing: if you first hear about an opportunity when the RFP is posted, you've probably already lost. The incumbent — and the smart challengers — started shaping that deal months earlier.
Small contractors tend to bid reactively. An interesting solicitation appears, everyone scrambles, and a proposal goes out with no real capture behind it. There's no record of why you pursued it, what your competitors looked like, or why you won or lost — so the next bid repeats the same mistakes.
We built Capture Management to bring the discipline big firms use — capture plans, bid/no-bid decisions, and win/loss learning — down to a scale a small team can actually run, right inside BidGovPro.

Capture Management FAQ
How is this different from pipeline tracking in the base app?
Base pipeline tracking shows the opportunities you've saved and their stage. Capture Management adds the strategy layer on top: capture plans, opportunity scoring, and win/loss analytics.
Do I need to know the Shipley process to use it?
No. The capture plan builder walks you through the fields that matter. It's structured enough to be useful and simple enough for a one-person BD shop.
Does my data stay private?
Yes. BidGovPro is a desktop app — your capture plans and pipeline data stay on your PC.
Do I need a specific edition?
Capture Management attaches to any edition. Buy it once and your license updates instantly — no reinstall.
