B2W allows you to know your cost
Pros
- Allows management to update costs for each individual item, equipment, labor, PR taxes, benefits, materials, etc.
- Allows management to see how aggressive estimators have built an estimate to evaluate risk.
- Allows monthly changes in fuel prices and liquid asphalt to quickly update the system for all.
- Allows management to override margins for overhead and profit to match backlog and need for work versus budget.
Cons
- We request changes to the software as issues crop up and the B2W process changes as needed.
- A time-out function should be added to knock dormant users offline and allow other users access to the limited number of licenses the company owns.
Return on Investment
- We make money year after year by having accurate quotes and costs basis.
- We have easily accessible records to look in the past at jobs won or lost.
