Londonderry, NH, July 31, 2001 – ConEst Software Systems, the leading developer of software applications serving the electrical contractor and datacom industries, today announced a new interface to the M.I.C.S. Builder Information System (BIS) construction accounting package.
Customers of ConEst and M.I.C.S. will benefit greatly from this interface because it eliminates the need for manual re-keying – simplifying the transfer of critical bid data between the ConEst2000 estimating software and the BIS accounting package. ConEst2000 is a full- scale estimating software program that includes real-time networking, built-in NEC calculations, automatic labor rate adjustments, digital photo display, change order functionality, and quotation analysis.
"This new interface saves our customers significant time and effort in a variety of ways," said Chris Frank, Director of Training for M.I.C.S. "Time consuming double entry of information, for example, is eliminated by importing the estimate file directly into the program to create a budget. Unrecorded cost codes are also added automatically to the cost code library of the Builder Information System, saving users a potentially enormous amount of data entry time."
"Entering job budget information manually can be a time consuming process, not to mention the risk of error associated with it," said George Hague, president of ConEst. "Developing an interface to eliminate that risk and save valuable time is a win, win situation for customers who rely on ConEst and M.I.C.S."
