Case Study: Cougar Companies achieves 5X revenue growth and faster, more accurate estimating with B2W Software

Cougar Campanies - Customer Case Study

Cougar Companies, a Fort Myers–based contractor with about 200 employees specializing in site, utility and concrete work across southwest Florida, needed a faster, more accurate estimating process to support growth. After Chief Estimator Shane Meaker reintroduced the idea of replacing spreadsheets, the company sought a scalable estimating system to win larger, more complex bids and improve project handovers.

Cougar deployed B2W Estimate (three licenses), built a cost database in roughly three weeks and was turning out bids within four weeks, with estimator training taking 4–8 weeks. Integrated with Trimble takeoff and Spectrum accounting and hosted on the B2W Cloud, the solution cut estimates from two days to half a day, saved up to 60 hours on some jobs, delivered near‑perfect cost accuracy on nine of ten projects, and helped the site and utility division grow revenue from under $10M to over $40M in five years.
