PTW Platform

One platform for the market behind the bid.

Connect labor, wage, industry, location, and federal-spending intelligence around the decisions that shape competitive government proposals.

Start with the decision

Ask the question once. Investigate it from every angle.

Pricing and capture questions rarely belong to a single dataset. The labor rate depends on the occupation, the occupation depends on the local market, and the competitive target depends on who is buying, who is bidding, and what the work can support.

PTW keeps those lines of investigation connected, replacing a chain of disconnected searches with one focused analytical workflow.

  • Compare labor conditions across markets
  • Test wage assumptions against current evidence
  • Connect commercial conditions to government activity
  • Export the findings behind the decision
PTW Software location and labor-market analysis

Move from broad market comparison to the occupational and economic evidence underneath it.

Connected intelligence

Four views of the same market.

Each module answers a different part of the question. Together, they show whether the opportunity, workforce, location, and price actually fit.

01 Labor

Occupational Intelligence

Standardize labor categories and examine the workforce behind them using wage, employment, education, skill, and occupational data.

Use it to:

  • Translate customer LCATs into comparable occupations
  • Compare wage expectations across markets
  • Evaluate labor depth and qualification requirements
02 Market structure

Industry Intelligence

Examine industries through their NAICS structure, supporting occupations, employment, and wage profile instead of relying on a single top-line statistic.

Use it to:

  • Understand the workforce composition of an industry
  • Compare industry conditions geographically
  • Identify the labor economics behind market entry
03 Geography

Location Intelligence

Compare regions using workforce, wage, population, unemployment, industry, and government-market signals in the same investigation.

Use it to:

  • Evaluate where work can be staffed sustainably
  • Expose regional cost and availability differences
  • Compare candidate operating markets side by side
04 Federal market

Government Market Intelligence

Put federal spending into competitive context by examining where dollars flow and which agencies, industries, contractors, and locations participate.

Use it to:

  • Identify concentrations of relevant federal spending
  • Understand agency and contractor activity
  • Ground capture decisions in observable market behavior

One analytical thread

Follow the requirement all the way to the evidence.

PTW is valuable because the investigation does not stop at the first plausible number. Each step adds context to the assumptions that follow.

01 Customer requirement
02 Labor category
03 Local market
04 Competitive context
05 Defensible output

Tangible outputs

Take the evidence with you.

A useful investigation should end in something your team can examine, challenge, share, and use. PTW turns the research into structured outputs instead of leaving the answer trapped inside a dashboard.

01

Comparable market tables

Evaluate occupations, industries, and locations against consistent measures.

02

Wage and employment benchmarks

Ground labor assumptions in current occupational and regional evidence.

03

Government-market context

Carry agency, contractor, industry, and spending signals into capture discussions.

04

Clean exports

Move structured findings into models, reports, presentations, and proposal workflows.
