The challenge

What the operation looked like before.

Custom quotes were priced from experience held by two people. When either was away, quotes waited. Win rates dropped on anything that took more than two days to return.

What we did

The work, in order.

  • Historical job costing consolidated into one dataset.
  • Assisted quoting that proposes a price with its reasoning shown.
  • Estimator review retained on every quote before it leaves.
  • Win and margin tracking fed back into the pricing model.
“The knowledge was in two heads. Now it is in the business, and they still approve every quote.”
