Moving to AGTEK – Williams Dirt Services

In the highly competitive world of earthwork, achieving higher project award rates and boosting profitability are key indicators of success. This in-depth customer story features Williams Dirt Services, a company that revolutionized its operations by transitioning to AGTEK’s cutting-edge earthwork take-off and production tracking software. Prior to AGTEK, Williams Dirt Services faced limitations with their existing take-off solution, which prompted them to seek a more comprehensive and accurate alternative. Their search led them to AGTEK, where they discovered a suite of tools designed to enhance precision, streamline workflows, and ultimately, increase their competitive edge.

Williams Dirt Services initially adopted AGTEK for its exceptional ease of use and the unparalleled accuracy it offered in earthwork take-offs. However, as they delved deeper into the software’s capabilities, they quickly realized its extensive benefits beyond initial estimation. AGTEK’s features allowed them to dissect each job with remarkable detail, track production down to the cubic yard, and leverage this real-time data to inform future bids. This granular understanding of their projects empowered them to bid more competitively and accurately, directly contributing to a significant increase in their project award rate. The ability to apply lessons learned from completed jobs to upcoming projects has been a game-changer for their profitability and operational efficiency.

Key features that have proven invaluable to Williams Dirt Services include the intuitive Google Earth cut/fill map overlay, which provides a clear visual representation of earthwork dynamics. The Balance Regions tool has been instrumental in optimizing material movement and minimizing costs. Furthermore, the SmartDirt app has emerged as a significant success, particularly with their field crews. This mobile application allows superintendents and other personnel to walk job sites with a tablet, providing real-time insights into the project’s status and dynamics, even for those less familiar with earthwork specifics. This not only enhances communication and understanding but also adds an extra layer of credibility and accuracy to their on-site operations. The seamless implementation process, attributed to AGTEK’s knowledgeable support team and comprehensive webinars, ensured a smooth transition and rapid adoption, solidifying AGTEK as an indispensable partner in their continued success.
