0515 Copyright © B2W Software Inc. 1993-2015 All Rights Reserved As Dallas 1 did with B2W Estimate, the company turned to B2W Track as a replacement for a spreadsheet based system. The ability to transfer information directly from bids to field tracking, complete field logs with a higher level of automation, and access actual job data in a timelier manner are seen as vital benefits. Getting advanced capabilities in applications that are also easy to use is an important combination for Dallas 1. "From what I've seen of the other software options, there is no comparison in terms of the learning curve and how intuitive B2W is," Wirth contends. "With a lot of other applications, you end up having to constantly go back to your notes or the instructions to figure out how to do things, and that can really slow you down and discourage you." He says the opposite is true with B2W. His team can almost always figure out features - including new ones - intuitively. Bringing new employees up to speed has also been a snap. When additional assistance is needed, Wirth says support from B2W Software is fantastic and a model that other companies should emulate. "We really appreciate that there is no outsourcing like you sometimes see with other products, particularly software," he explains. "If you have to call B2W, you get someone immediately, and they always know the product in depth. They don't have to look up an answer, send you to someone else or get back to you later."
