Trimble Introduces Accubid Enterprise Version 6 for Mechanical,
Electrical, Plumbing and ITS Contractors

Spec-driven and Modular-based Software Integrates Both Estimating and Change Management Processes

The robust, specification-driven software uses Microsoft SQL database technology and allows contractors to leverage common data throughout the lifecycle of a project, from estimating to change management. Contractors also have the ability to interact more efficiently with vendors by obtaining up-to-date pricing and applying special project pricing based on volume quantities.

By connecting this data and providing support to organizations with several locations, contractors can achieve consistency throughout their projects, eliminate redundant steps and minimize the need to import or export project data. Combined with Trimble's professional development courses, product training and support, Accubid Enterprise becomes part of a complete turnkey solution to the MEP and ITS contractor.

"This latest release of Accubid Enterprise is a reflection of Trimble's constant interaction with our large client base and deep industry experience," said Mark Mandarelli, Trimble's director of Development for MEP office solutions."In addition to the project workflow approach, contractors will discover how the product allows them to get detailed and accurate results without compromising speed."

Trimble's Accubid Enterprise is available now through the Accubid sales channel.
