To help them achieve this Eosso Brothers employs a full-time office, with two estimators, and three year round crews. They provide them with state-of-the-art technology and equipment ensuring top performance from the time the bid is due until the pavement lines dry. In keeping with the company’s technology growths, they recently upgraded their estimating department with the new Microsoft NET & SQL Server version of BID2WIN.
For the last seven years they have been estimating and bidding with PowerBid, the first estimating program developed by BID2WIN, and it was time they made a change. “PowerBid was not versatile enough to grow with our company,” says Thomas Eosso, vice president/estimator. “I received the BID2WIN demo CD and it looked .
After upgrading to BID2WIN Thomas and Gary Eosso went to BID2WIN’s headquarters in Portsmouth, NH for training. “I met all the guys when we went to BID2WIN’s facility, they’re true professionals,” proclaims Thomas.

Thomas frequently bids on similar jobs and uses BID2WIN to save himself time while streamlining their operations. “I can duplicate previous bids, change customer information, put my sizes in, and have a bid in less than 15 minutes. It is actually fun to use the software. I look forward to using the software and if I ever have any questions the technical support line is there for me.”
