0615 Copyright © B2W Software Inc. 1993-2015 All Rights Reserved Williams points to the more recent Market Analysis Tool within B2W Estimate as a major time saver and competitive advantage, allowing his team to review its own bids and compare them with those of its competitors. "We used to have this data in spreadsheets and folders, and it would take a long time to sift through and find the data we were looking for," he recalls. "Now it's all in one place, and we can get it with a few clicks of the mouse." Adding the B2W Track element has given P. Flanigan & Son a link between its estimating and its field tracking processes. Rather than waiting the previous four to six weeks after work had taken place in the field, the company now has analysis available immediately and can address problems faster. That translates into improved profitability. "Beyond the data link between estimating and operations, the interesting thing is that the Estimate and Track combination encourages collaboration and is really bringing us closer from a personnel standpoint too," Williams notes. Attracting and developing proud, talented employees has always been a cornerstone of the success of P. Flanigan & Sons. Williams says B2W Software supports that focus. "The younger workforce is expecting these kinds of tools to estimate, report daily work and keep track of their production," he says. "We need to deliver that to the people who are the future of our company, so that they don't get frustrated in having to do things the same way that things were done 30 years ago.
