CW Matthews + Edgevanta

For me, that moment when the bits are being read out, you know, the heart starts to race. I mean, I've been doing this for a long time and been involved in estimating. And it's as nerve wracking and as exciting today as it was the first time I bid my first job. My name is Dan Garcia. I'm the president of C.W. matthews Contracting. What we quickly figured out is there was some jobs that we were bidding that we were leaving money on the table. We could have increased our margin 1, 2, 3% and really have no impact on the amount of work we were getting. Svanta is a software that we're utilizing for an estimating perspective. We know how important the estimating side is in the tracking of it. When we met Tristan and his team, the first thing that came to mind is he knew the industry, knew the business, he had done the work. What he was creating is something that the industry needs, and I saw the immediate benefit that it could have for us. What it's done is kind of bring to light areas that we can improve on the margins. We're able to access the data a lot easier than we ever were. If people were able to utilize a system like EdgeVanta, maybe it would open their eyes as well as, hey, maybe these are some areas that could be improved in order to get better results for them as well. We wanted to get in early on with EdgeVanta because we see the advantages, but we also see where this product can go in the future. It's just been a great tool to get better at what we do.
