The Challenge
Before using Beam AI, Desert Rat Welding faced several inefficiencies in their takeoff and bidding process:
- Time-consuming manual takeoffs: Their previous takeoff software required extensive manual work, consuming valuable hours.
- Limited bandwidth for bids: Spending too much time on takeoffs meant fewer bids could be submitted and the slow manual process made it difficult to submit bids on time.
- Accuracy concerns: Manually counting materials often led to miscalculations, affecting bid competitiveness.
With Beam AI, we’re only spending 10-20% of the time we used to on takeoffs. Now, we can focus on bigger bids and send more proposals.
