Tait notes that the system does not slow down, regardless of how many people are using it simultaneously. "I'm two clicks away from everything I need to see to get my job done," he adds. "The whole program makes everything so efficient and supports the timeline we need to work within." W.C. Spratt followed Estimate with B2W Track, replacing an in-house field tracking tool that Tait says was not robust enough and lacked advanced reporting and a connection with estimates. "They call it Track for a good reason," he says. "We can capture what happens in the field, report it on a daily basis and evaluate it relative to the estimate." B2W Dispatch came next, delivering a job board and mapping features that give the company a comprehensive view of its job sites and the benefit of seeing everything all at once, according to Tait. B2W Maintain rounds out the ONE Platform at W.C. Spratt. The company uses the maintenance management program, including a centralized database for equipment-related information, to drive preventive maintenance and minimize downtime for 130 assets. "With Maintain, we know when services are due and we can execute the work more efficiently," according to Tait. "The link between Track and Maintain is a good example of the unified B2W platform," Tait adds. "We use Track in the field to make repair requests that go automatically into Maintain. Everyone has instant visibility, and there are no delays, errors or uncertainties in the process." Support Tait knew little about B2W, its team or its products when he first explored the estimating solution. "They gave me an excellent demo but, more importantly, they listened to what contractors like us would ideally like in an estimating program, and they went on to implement those suggestions," he recalls. "There's a lot to be said for that." That close interaction between user and developer continued with the following B2W elements and has remained a defining factor in his company's ongoing satisfaction with the ONE Platform. "The team at B2W is exceptionally responsive and always a pleasure to work with," Tait concludes. "We've truly been able to collaborate in developing each element according to our needs, the learning curves have been minimal, and we know that support is only a phone call away when we need it."
