Contractors: Stop Losing Time to Spreadsheets

We know the hard work that goes into running a contracting business. For years, contractors have relied on manual methods like spreadsheets, notes, and hours of back-and-forth just to get an estimate out the door. It’s a process that reflects your dedication — but in today’s market, it’s also holding you back.

Clients expect speed. Competition is fierce. Material prices change daily. And while you’re buried in takeoffs and paperwork, your backlog grows, bids are delayed, and profitability slips.
