Londonderry, NH July 2, 2001 – ConEst Software Systems, the leading developer of software applications serving the electrical contractor and datacom industries, today announced the next generation of electrical estimating software, ConEst2000 version 3.2.
Customers can select from three different levels of the ConEst estimating product – Lite, Plus, or Pro. Modular technology enables contractors to add features to the ConEst2000 program as a contractor’s business and estimating needs grow. ConEst’s offers a suite of fully integrated products for estimating and project management that enable users to analyze, estimate, track, bill and maintain projects from beginning to end.
"The enhanced version of ConEst2000 gives contractors the ability to execute on the bidding process immediately," said George Hague, president of ConEst. "For a growing business, gaining that competitive edge requires more than experience, it also needs a technology advantage and that’s exactly what ConEst2000 offers."
New functionality and capabilities in ConEst2000 3.2 help meet the rapidly changing needs of contractors. This affordable, yet feature-rich application includes:
Features:
- Full Database with over 20,000 material items and 11,000 pre-built assemblies
- Alarms for missing prices or labor on items
- Quotation analysis with bid recap
- "What if" analysis
- Exports bid data easily to the accounting system and other third party software accounting packages
- Zonal Cavity Lighting – calculate lighting requirements while estimating simultaneously
- Network Estimating – multiple estimators sharing job and database files
- Temporary Assemblies – create assemblies on-the-fly in take-off
- Change Order Link – link change orders created in ConEst’s project management software, for tracking changes to the project
Built using Smart System‘ technology, this intelligent application reduces the amount of time it takes to estimate the job. While most estimating programs are basic data entry systems designed to sort and filter information, ConEst2000 takes the same information and begins calculating and comparing data for accurate labor and material requirements. Built-in NEC tables and automatic adjustments to the labor rate for changes in an installation mean that estimates are accurate and cost efficient.
