Case Study: Alan’s Excavating doubles bids and reduces costly estimating errors with B2W Software’s B2W Estimate

Alan's Excavating Puts Estimates Together Fast

Alan’s Excavating, a central Kansas commercial and municipal site-grading and utility contractor, needed faster, more accurate estimating to win more work and avoid costly mistakes that come with spreadsheet-based bids. With an estimator joining from a larger firm, the company sought a scalable solution that could support higher bid volume and tighter quality checks.

Alan’s implemented B2W Estimate on a Microsoft SQL Server platform, using features like the check-estimate wizard, robust reporting, and strong support to streamline workflows. The result: the estimator can bid roughly twice as many projects as with spreadsheets, catch material or pricing errors before they cost money, and scale the system’s complexity as the company grows for a clear return on investment.
