Improved field tracking, including real-time information for managers in the office and in the field, has been the key benefit of adding B2W Track. Hasell says leaders in the field need to know and want to know how they are performing. "We can get detailed reporting directly from Track on a daily basis," he explains. "Easy access to better information drives better decision making in the field." B2W estimating and field tracking applications link with the Viewpoint Accounting program at Emil Anderson. The automated data transfer from bids and from field logs to the accounting system has eliminated quirks, errors and the manual effort required with the previous system. In addition to powerful features, the underlying logic of the B2W applications was appealing to Emil Anderson. "Estimate and Track actually mirror how we have always worked and how our previous systems worked," Hasell explains. "The familiar line of thinking and flow made the transition easy." Using the two applications in concert has streamlined what Hasell calls the push and pull of information between estimating and field operations. The commitment by Emil Anderson, the intuitive nature of the software and the effort by B2W team contributed to a smooth transition to the new applications. "We invested time for implementation and training, and B2W had a strong, regimented program," according to Hasell. "Our estimators and our teams in the field saw the need for the software and the value immediately, so they were enthusiastic about implementing it, and there really wasn't any significant resistance at all."
