CASE STUDY W.L. FRENCH EXCAVATING CORPORATION EASE OF USE, ADVANCED FEATURES AND UNIFIED APPLICATIONS ARE VITAL B2W SOFTWARE ADVANTAGES "When B2W claims to provide a unified solution that works the way construction companies work, it's true," according to Jessica French Goyette, vice president at W.L. French Excavating Corporation. The family-owned company with 150 employees adopted B2W Estimate in 2004, followed by the B2W Track and Maintain applications. W. L. French is based north of Boston and provides site development, mass excavation and heavy utility construction as well as specialized site remediation and soil management services throughout the New England region. The initial investment in B2W Estimate represented a culture shift for the company. "We're construction professionals, so our focus at that time was strictly on field operations, not software and computers," Goyette recalls. "As we've grown and evolved, we realize this technology is vital to our success. We're continuously using more and more B2W Software features to our advantage as we gain experience." Those features allow the company to bid with increased speed and accuracy, manage maintenance more proactively, and capture field data daily with increased efficiency, according to Goyette. She emphasizes the benefits of a unified platform for estimating and operations, with common user interfaces and operational data and access to real-time information and reporting. "Information flows across the B2W applications," Goyette adds. "We have also integrated Foundation's specialized construction accounting software for a seamless transfer of financial information from estimating, field tracking and maintenance," she adds. • Headquarters: North Billerica, MA • Work Types: Utility Construction Commercial Site Development & Remediation Mass Excavation Soil & Waste Management • Elements: B2W Estimate B2W Track B2W Maintain "When B2W claims to provide a unified solution that works the way construction companies work, it's true."
