InEight Estimate
The Energized Services business within Quanta was struggling to maintain consistency and accuracy in project estimates as it expanded into the international market. Multiple existing spreadsheet-based processes required significant time and effort to validate, creating uncertainties around projects.
By deploying InEight Estimate, Quanta was able to significantly accelerate the estimating process, improve accuracy and consistency, and make it easier for subject matter experts (SMEs) in the field to validate assumptions and timelines. The InEight solution gives Quanta unprecedented control over cost breakdowns, while tight integration with other project-management tools cuts cycle times and helps refine estimates.
SOLUTION BENEFITS:
- Reducing estimate-to-schedule cycle time from two days to two hours
- Providing greater flexibility and granularity around cost management
- Improving quality by making it easier to review and refine estimates with SMEs in the field
