ProEst Partners With Trade Service To Improve Estimating Efficiency And Accuracy For Electrical Contractors
Strategic partnership delivers one-click integration between ProEst 2012 estimating software and the new TRA-SER SX Web-based electrical pricing database.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB)
ProEst Software, developer of award-winning construction estimating and digital takeoff technology, today announced that it has partnered with Trade Service Company to provide one-click integration between ProEst 2012 estimating software and the new TRA-SER SX Web-based electrical pricing database. With the click of a button, electrical contractors that use ProEst and have a TRA-SER SX subscription can now get instant pricing updates for two million material items from over 650 manufacturers.
ProEst is an easy-to-use construction estimating software system that helps electrical construction companies create and manage their project bids. Built-in digital takeoffs give estimators the flexibility to perform takeoffs on-screen using electronic blueprints and a mouse. And now, an advanced integration link allows ProEst users to take advantage of Trade Services' vast online materials pricing library.
"Although ProEst has been a Trade Service partner for years, this newest integration link provides a significant advantage to our mutual electrical contracting clients," said Jeffrey Gerardi, President of ProEst. "Estimators can simply click one button and ProEst automatically retrieves material and labor pricing updates from TRA-SER SX via the Internet. The entire process is instant - and seamless."
By using TRA-SER SX with ProEst, electrical estimators can save time while creating more accurate, competitive bids. They can also:
- Keep their ProEst materials database updated with the most current pricing available
- Import NECA Labor Units (with NECA subscription)
- Get instant pricing information from preferred suppliers
- Support LEED certification efforts by easily identifying Energy Star-certified items
"ProEst's one-click integration with TRA-SER SX helps ensure that contractors are using up-to-date material, pricing and labor information during the highly competitive bid process," said Tod Moore, Sr. V.P. of Sales and Marketing at Trade Service.
To take advantage of this new technology integration, electrical contractors must have current subscriptions for ProEst 2012 and TRA-SER SX. ProEst is available in three affordable subscription-based options: Standard, Professional and Enterprise. Each subscription provides worry free maintenance that includes unlimited telephone and e-mail support, along with all product updates and enhancements.
