Exel Contracting is a recognized leader in commercial landscaping and snow removal in the Ottawa region. As the company continued to grow, they were looking to improve the profitability of their operations to support sustainable expansion.
Before implementing Civalgo, Exel Contracting struggled with a lack of visibility into the specific costs of each project.
Data wasn’t being collected or centralized, making it difficult to make informed decisions or identify areas for improvement.
The biggest barrier to improving project performance was the lack of usable data. Without detailed insights into hours worked, materials used, or equipment deployed, it was nearly impossible for Exel Contracting to track costs, spot deviations, or adjust strategies in real time.
The team needed a tool that could turn field insights into concrete decisions.
Civalgo enabled Exel Contracting to structure real-time field data collection, especially for snow removal operations. Teams gained clear visibility into resources used on each project (labor, equipment, materials) and could compare performance across similar jobs. These insights highlighted concrete areas for improvement, which were quickly translated into actionable changes to boost profitability.
Civalgo was brought in with a clear goal: gain detailed visibility into project costs. From day one, the team began using the platform to track snow removal operations in real time. At the end of the season, the data allowed for meaningful comparisons across projects and informed process improvements. Civalgo also became a valuable tool for building more accurate bids, saving time and increasing pricing precision.
