Costly
Mistakes
Undetected formula errors and changes
to cells carry over from a previous
spreadsheet.
Uncertainty
Estimators don't know where to get the
most accurate and up-to-date labor,
equipment and material rates.
Wasted
Time
Searching for cost information, pulling
together data from multiple estimators
and sources, entering it from scratch and
keeping track of versions takes too long.
Inconsistency
Standardizing processes across the
company and from one bid to the next
is extremely difficult.
Redundancy
Without a link to accounting, field
operations and DOT systems, data
must be re-entered manually.
Strategy
Reporting on and analyzing the success of
previous bids is a manual process, limiting
the use of that data to inform future bids.
