Cost Estimating Software for Manufacturing

"Instead of taking six months to train estimators on the ins and outs of our business, all the necessary 'tribal knowledge' is built into the database and the cost models, making it possible for a layman estimator to hit the ground running… we're now calculating intricate, detailed jobs in minutes."

"As I continued to be challenged by these increasing 'multiple quantities' requests, I would sit at my desk thinking there has just got to be a better way... Repeating these steps, for each estimate, was not only time-consuming and frustrating; I felt it was leaving 'way too much' room for error - which is something I simply cannot afford."
