Case Study: Sherwood Companies achieves standardized, simplified estimating and major time savings with B2W Software (B2W Estimate)

Sherwood Companies Unifies its Diverse Estimating Solutions

Sherwood Companies, a group of four civil construction businesses operating from six offices across Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado, faced a fragmented estimating environment that slowed bidding and increased risk. Estimators relied on a mix of complex and simple Excel files, Lotus/Quattro spreadsheets, paper records and an unused standalone HCSS product, and the organization needed a flexible, multi‑database solution that could be supported centrally and integrate with Excel and DOT electronic bidding requirements.

Sherwood implemented B2W Estimate on a single server with remote desktop access, giving each company its own database for labor, equipment and tasks while simplifying backups, updates and security with concurrent licensing. The B2W import/export and DOT database integration streamlined electronic bids, reduced admin time, improved bid accuracy and productivity, lowered user stress and produced measurable cost and time savings.
