In northern Illinois, Rockford Blacktop Construction Co.’s mission to always conduct business with integrity and honesty, while striving to maximize profitability, has held true for over 60 years.

Their recent investment in Bid2Win reflects their quality-first approach and has strengthened their ability to bid with even greater confidence and success.

To streamline operations while keeping pace with industry technology, chief estimator Gordy Berg faced a big decision when Rockford decided to explore other program options after using Hard Dollar’s EOS for 14 years. Berg evaluated Bid2Win, Hard Dollar and HCSS and ultimately concluded, “Bid2Win 2005 uses a modern Microsoft development platform, plus we really liked the ease of use and the way the input screens were set up.”

The biggest advantage of Bid2Win 2005 “is the fact that it is already up and running on .NET and SQL Server technology and that it operates similarly to other Windows programs that we are already used to running,” said Berg. “We also like that it easily exports/imports from other programs we use for job cost and scheduling.” Illinois company adopts new .NET software
