Case Study: Vantis achieves 30–40% faster estimating and real-time collaboration with ProEst

How ProEst helped a tech-savvy contractor boost efficiency and collaboration

Vantis, a Santa Clara-based commercial interiors contractor specializing in off-site design-and-build, faced growing collaboration and estimating challenges as a small, distributed team of 28 working on projects across northern California. Their estimating process relied on Excel and manual calculations, so Vantis turned to ProEst and its cloud-based construction estimating platform (plus ProEst’s training program) to modernize workflows and improve remote collaboration.

ProEst implemented its estimating solution and trained Vantis’ estimators, enabling real-time collaboration, multiple estimators on a single estimate, and faster bid turnaround. The change produced measurable gains—estimating productivity jumped roughly 30–40% (a 40% productivity increase noted), proposal generation time cut by about 30%, and Vantis now projects growing annual revenue from $15M to over $40M in 3–5 years—results Vantis attributes directly to ProEst.
