Sage has announced the addition of new native-cloud innovations for bid leveling, collaboration and insight in Sage Estimating. Sage Estimating supports the estimating process and helps construction businesses manage jobs.
Sage Estimating’s new Sage BidMatrix native-cloud platform enables estimating teams to level bids, collaborate and gain insights. The solution helps estimators manage the subcontractor selection process. Sage BidMatrix makes it possible to compare subcontractor bids, evaluate project risks and optimize bid strategies.
In addition, a new web interface with slice-and-dice capabilities, as well as the ability to leverage industry standard BI tools like Power BI, enables customers to analyze and gain insight from having all their estimating data centralized in the cloud.
“To win more work and ensure the profitability of every project, construction professionals must build estimates with greater speed and precision than ever before,” said Julie Adams, senior vice president, Construction and Real Estate, Sage. “For over 30 years, top construction companies have trusted Sage Estimating. With the addition of real-time collaboration, deep bid analysis capabilities, and robust reporting and analytics on a scalable native-cloud platform, we are poised to deliver more innovations that take Sage Estimating customers into the future.”
Doran Contractors, a general contracting and construction management company, has projects with upwards of 100 different numbers coming in from subcontractors.
“There is nothing out there like Sage Estimating with Sage BidMatrix. This solution gives us the confidence we need to tackle any project head-on, providing reliable solutions that other software simply can’t match,” said Jason Hyland, estimator at Doran Contractors. “Excel is great, but there is a lot that can go wrong. I looked for something similar to Sage Estimating for a few years, and in my opinion, there is nothing close to it.”
