Pipeline tracking
Move every job through the stages your team sets up — from first look to closed-out project — with a full history of every change. Lost a bid? Capture why, who won it, and which line beat you.
For manufacturers' reps
Linchpin is the all-in-one sales platform built for manufacturers' reps. Track every bid through your pipeline, keep your drawings, specs, and documents organized by job, and put AI to work — reading specs, spotting substitution opportunities, and answering questions about your business in plain English.
From the first set of drawings to a closed-out job — and the analytics to learn from every one.
Move every job through the stages your team sets up — from first look to closed-out project — with a full history of every change. Lost a bid? Capture why, who won it, and which line beat you.
One shared directory of the companies and people across your market — so your whole team works from the same contacts, not scattered spreadsheets.
Keep every drawing, spec, quote, and submittal organized by job, in the categories you set up — then export an entire project in a click.
Upload the drawings and specs, and AI pulls out the scheduled equipment — then flags each item as one of your lines, a substitution opportunity, or someone else's.
Track your win rate, see why you're losing and to whom, how long jobs sit in each stage, and your pipeline by market — plus where you stand by manufacturer across every spec you've analyzed.
Connect Linchpin to Claude or any AI assistant and ask about your jobs, companies, pipeline, and lines — and get answers straight from your own data. No exports, no spreadsheets. (Built on MCP, an open AI standard.)
The job page
Deal details, the companies and contacts involved, every document, and the AI takeoff — all on one page, so your whole team always knows where a job stands.
Win/loss intelligence
Track win/loss across the pipeline, break losses down by reason and by competitor, and see how long deals sit in each stage.
AI spec analysis
Linchpin reads the drawings and specs, pulls out every scheduled piece of equipment, and tells you whether you're the basis of design or looking at a substitution fight — per job, in minutes.
Drop in your drawings, specs, and quotes — organized by job, in one place.
Linchpin extracts the equipment schedule and classifies each item against your lines.
Get your spec position on every job — basis of design, substitution openings, or not yours.
Spec Position by Company
Linchpin rolls up every analyzed job by engineer, architect, and contractor — so you can see who keeps you basis-of-design and who you're always bidding substitutions against. Defend the relationships that pay, and target the ones that don't.
Connect your AI assistant
Connect Linchpin to Claude or your own AI assistant and ask real questions — like which firms keep you as basis of design and which ones spec you out — answered straight from your own data. Read-only, scoped to exactly what you can already see, and powered by MCP.
