B2W Estimate
We are long-term users of the B2W system. We believe it is the best choice for paving contractors. It is easy to learn and continues to offer even deeper ability as estimating prowess grows. The system allows us to update quotes that were given in the past and to stay on top of our costs as changes occur, so our data is up to date and accurate. Know your costs and you can make money!

This is great if only used for job costing.

Pros
B2W Estimate
- 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
B2W Estimate
- 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.

- Syncing with QuickBooks could be a little better, only syncs to main customer and not projects.
- Does not have the ability to be used in the field.
- Cannot collect payment or invoice from the field, only office staff can do this which makes for a lot of missed money collection.

Knowify does job costing which HouseCall Pro does not, it syncs with QuickBooks a little better than HouseCall Pro but does not allow our technicians to invoice from the field which is crucial.

- Keeps good track of all bills and expenses.
- It would be nice to be able to see a list of all bills and not have to look under each project/job.
- Allows us to see if a job is headed south and quickly correct it.
