Emery Sapp & Sons (ESS), a 100% employee-owned heavy civil construction leader, is leveraging Edgevanta to transform their estimating and bidding process. In 2024, ESS achieved $1.08 billion in revenue and earned a spot among the Top 50 Domestic Heavy Contractors.

 

In this exclusive video, Brandon Finn, SVP of Asphalt Operations, shares how Edgevanta became a game-changer:

 

“Before Edgevanta, we tracked competitor backlog using physical state highway maps and highlighters. Now, we can quickly assess our competitor backlog within days of the letting.”

 

Brandon highlights how Edgevanta centralizes historical bid notes and provides easy access during bid reviews:

 

“This program allows us to save bid notes and revisit them anytime, helping us stay sharp at the bid table.”

 

ESS has been an outstanding partner, embracing innovation and showcasing forward-thinking leadership. Their use of Edgevanta for real-time competitor intelligence and automated bid management is a testament to their commitment to staying ahead of the curve.

 

Discover how ESS, with over 1600 employee-owners and 270 clients annually, is redefining their approach to winning bids and staying ahead of the competition.
