Bid 4 hospitality projects in parallel without growing the estimating team.
A multi-trade MEP firm hit a wall during a hot Phoenix bid season — more projects in pursuit than the team could physically work. They piloted OmniTakeoff on three concurrent hotel renovations to test whether takeoff-as-a-service could give them parallelism the team couldn't physically achieve.

Challenge
What they were solving for
Phoenix hospitality construction was bidding hot. They were declining bids because the team couldn't physically work them — every declined bid is lost backlog they couldn't recover.
Solution
How OmniTakeoff worked
Three concurrent hotel renovation bids ran on OmniTakeoff with one estimator each instead of the usual two. Daily progress check-ins compared their forecast vs. actual hours.
Outcome
What changed
Increased concurrent active bids without hiring. Won pilot bids and placed strong runner-up on the others.
We stopped picking which bids to skip. That's the whole game. When you can take everything that comes in, you eventually win the right ones.
