Case Study: Wave Broadband achieves data-driven bidding, eliminates redundant data entry and saves 400 hours/year with B2W Software

Wave Broadband Gets Vital Reporting, Insight with B2W Estimate

Wave Broadband, a Kirkland, WA provider of high‑speed internet and fiber installation, relied on in‑house Excel workbooks to produce about 400 bids per month. That process made extracting data for reporting labor‑intensive, required redundant data entry and even a $40,000/year administrative role, limiting visibility into what was selling and how projects performed against bids.

Wave implemented B2W Estimate and used B2W Web Services to feed data into Tableau for custom reporting. The integration eliminated redundant entry, removed the $40,000/year position, and is expected to save up to 400 hours annually preparing bids — a switch that paid for itself immediately while improving insight, speed and estimating workflow.
