BOSTON (August 10, 2016) - B2W Software has announced that W. L. French Excavating Corporation has realized improved bidding, operational efficiency and equipment maintenance advantages by leveraging B2W Software’s Estimate, Dispatch, Track and Maintain applications.
The initial investment in a software system for estimating represented a culture shift for W. L. French Excavating. “We’re construction professionals, so our focus at that time was strictly on field operations, not software and computers,” said Jessica French Goyette, vice president. “As we’ve grown and evolved, we realize this technology is vital to our success. We’re continuously using more and more B2W Software features to our advantage as we gain experience.”
The family-owned company with 150 employees adopted B2W Estimate in 2004, followed by the B2W Dispatch, Track and Maintain applications. W. L. French is based north of Boston, Massachusetts, and provides site development, mass excavation and heavy utility construction, as well as specialized site remediation and soil management services, throughout the New England region.
Goyette says software features allow the company to bid with increased speed and accuracy, manage maintenance more proactively, and capture field data daily with increased efficiency, according to Goyette. She emphasizes the benefits of a unified platform for estimating and operations, with common user interfaces and operational data and access to real-time information and reporting.
“Information flows across the B2W applications,” Goyette said. “We have also integrated Foundation’s specialized construction accounting software for a seamless transfer of financial information from estimating, field tracking and maintenance,” she adds.
