B2W Track compiles data automatically from their bids, streamlines the capture of field data, and provides a powerful tool for comparing the two. Unified and real-time are the operative concepts. Actual progress is analyzed against budget on a daily basis, allowing immediate adjustments of crews, equipment and materials to keep jobs on budget. Hosey say B2W Track gives the company a higher level of confidence in both project execution and bidding. He equates the capabilities with getting a report card on a daily basis. "Sometimes it's good and other times it's not, but without that data, a job could fail without us knowing it until we invoiced it," he explains. "We have very tight budgets that we manage successfully, and the actual job data flow back to our estimating process, allowing us to be more competitive in our bids. The completed jobs can be referenced to gauge what is profitable and what is not." Support Joseph McCormick Construction came into B2W Estimate on the ground floor, when it was one of the only Windows-based systems available. "We liked the workflow and layout, it was very intuitive to use, and those remain key advantages," according to Hosey. "I've personally trained half a dozen colleagues, and they pick it up very fast." That ease of use limits reliance on B2W support. When it is required - typically for help with taking advantage of a new upgrade to the software - the responsiveness is exceptional. "The support team is extremely helpful and accommodating - far better than we've ever experienced in the software sector," Hosey confirms.
