BID2WIN Software, Inc. unveils the newest version of its flagship software product, BID2WIN 2007. This enterprise-level heavy construction management software application offers construction and civil engineering firms a variety of new features, including a new version of the Microsoft.NET framework.
This latest version includes the comparison cost method, which allows users to detail out self-performed costs for an item or task and compare that cost to quoted prices from subcontractors. The cost groups feature offers users the ability to group like items and tasks and utilize similar cost structures for all of them. Users can also split RFQ groups among multiple subcontractors or vendors, so they can "mix and match" to get the best deal.
Another feature is an upgraded tree view in subcontractor and vendor management. This allows users to simultaneously view all items, tasks or materials for a single subcontractor or vendor.
"It's all about working smart to increase profitability," says Paul McKeon, president of BID2WIN. "In the infrastructure industry, the bidding and estimating process is critical, and speed and accuracy are key to obtaining success. BID2WIN is a comprehensive Windows-based application designed to manage the entire estimating and bidding process. And it's driven by Microsoft SQL server technology, the fastest, most advanced database available for the Windows environment."
