From this point on, profitability depends on how well the project adheres to the estimate's cost and time schedule. Obviously, this involves many variables—labor, materials, equipment, even weather—all of which foremen in the field and managers in the office must be on top of every day, in real time. BID2WIN Software has released a product that claims to not only track those details, but also tell you how much money you made or lost today.
BUILD2WIN Field Tracking is a solution that allows jobsite foremen and managers to track real-time production quantities, labor hours, equipment hours and material quantities, and compare them against the original estimate. Using a browser-based interface, foremen and managers can enter, view and track real-time status information about projects in the office or in the field, or anywhere else an Internet connection is available.
The combined power of BID2WIN Estimating and Bidding and BUILD2WIN Field Tracking takes the functions of estimating and bidding and field data tracking, and propels them beyond traditional limits. They effectively leverage the latest technologies into a combined system that allows you to achieve higher success rates in the bids you submit, increased profitability in the jobs you win and greater control over your entire business.
According to Tracey Schmeck of Brubacher Excavating Inc., "BID2WIN Software offers superb customer service and technical support. Their products are easy to use and have helped us standardize our estimating and bidding process, and ultimately have increased our profitability. They continually see where the future is going to lead and get there before anyone else."
