Deal pipeline management software features & benefits

DealCloud enables financial services firms (including private equity, investment banks, credit firms, venture capital, real estate, and more) to configure their unique instances of the platform to adhere to their existing dealmaking process, instead of forcing them to adapt to a generic workflow. This is a key difference between DealCloud and other deal pipeline management software solutions – we make it easy to manage your deal pipeline the way your firm wants and needs to.

DealCloud also helps dealmakers streamline the pipeline management process by taking their real-life deal process and bringing it to life with the powerful combination of software and data. We want every investor, banker, venture capitalist, lender, and other dealmakers to have an exact replication of their day-to-day dealmaking processes in our software.

More specifically, we allow dealmakers to categorize their deals by industry, stage, owner, etc. The DealCloud software enables capital markets professionals to visualize their relationship and deal data using a powerful mix of bar, chart, bubble, and other charts and graphs. When visualizing tabular data regarding deals, professionals can leverage DealCloud’s interactive data grids, which allow for users to click on any field and navigate into the data even deeper.

We know that updating your deal pipeline data can be tedious, and that’s why our platform allows your pipeline to be updated and easily managed through your everyday activities, such as phone calls, emails, meetings, etc. For example, if you send/receive a letter of intent (LOI) by email, you can simply open the DealCloud Add In within your instance of Outlook, Office 365 or Gmail, and change the deal status to “LOI” instead of “IOI.” The best part is that in order to do so, you never need to leave your Inbox! After that update is completed, all of your dashboards and reports will automatically update to reflect that change.

DealCloud differentiators

DealCloud was built by private equity and investment banking professionals who understand the industry, the transactions, and the complexities of the business. They knew that generic software platforms that were built for a traditional sales model would never meet the unique needs of the world’s most sophisticated investors, advisors, and lenders. In fact, deal pipeline management softwares that are built for a different business models don’t even cut it for small, boutique firms. Generic (or horizontal) technology was simply not built for the financial services industry, and therefore cannot flex to meet the unique needs of dealmakers.

Over the past 10 years, DealCloud has grown significantly and has had the opportunity to heavily invest in the technology platform’s user interface, user experience, and core functionality. These investments made into the product have allowed us to grow rapidly and to serve a rapidly growing number of deal professionals across a diverse range of asset classes. With every unique firm we work with, our understanding of the industry’s complexity grows, and that allows us to adapt the product to solve the industry’s pain points.
