Avis sur Trimble AutoBid
My Take on the state of current Auto Bid system
Commentaires : From begining to end from quick pen Dos through the current version of Auto bid it has allowed us to bid more work with fewer people in shorter time frames without compromising accuracy.
Avantages :
It allows estimators flexibility to use a tool that they can trust to be consistent and accurate.
Inconvénients :
The lack of ability to link Auto Bid Mechanical rapid reports with Auto Bid Sheet Metal that will work more than once.
Alternatives envisagées précédemment :
Pretty good software, has some difficulties
Commentaires : It has made our takeoff process a lot simpler, we print less plan sets. Sped up our overall process.
Avantages :
The on screen takeoff looks nice, pretty intuitive once you get used to it
Inconvénients :
The lack of keyboard shortcuts for basic takeoff features. It would really speed up the process
Not what it used to be
Commentaires : Recent tech support does not have field experience. They tend to just delete problems and not actually fix WHY a problem has occurred. Had I not asked a few questions regarding the latest version (2018v2) I would not have known it was NOT the actual version I was running even though it clearly showed the version number. An all new stand alone install had to be done, sending me back to square one with the program as if new out of box.
Avantages :
Pro:The ability to set up joints to pick up the transition parts such as going from CS to copper, (like a weld-o-let die-electric nipple and copper adapter). Importing direst from Trimble's Trade Service is great. Cons (continued) I have been using onscreen takeoff programs for about 15 years. This is an old program that requires way to many mouse clicks. No usable hot keys.
Inconvénients :
Set up of the program takes a LOT of time and tends to be an ongoing project as you add items. Updates are few and far between. The updates are often are buggy leaving you with unexplained errors. Version 2017 had enough issues that the new 2018v2 version is a stand alone version requiring you to start all over. Supplied spread sheets can not be customized any more.
Software refresh
Commentaires : All in all its alright. I'm winning jobs with it but I still need to do things by hand. I have so much to learn as I know I'm only scratching the surface of its capabilities
Avantages :
I like the speed in which you can take off projects.
Inconvénients :
I don't like dealing with errors after calculatingI don't like the cost of 1 on 1 trainingI don't like that specs are all over the place and that I have to edit constantlyI don't like that there arrnt any quick keys to do things quicker
Quick Pen / Autobid review
Commentaires : It is a great work tool for estimators providing the estimator know the work and can make the job by job adjustments
Avantages :
It is the most widely known sheet metal estimating software in our market. I have been using Quick Pen since it was DOS based with a digitizer and dot matrix printer, and the advancements have been quite something over the years. There are a few things such as inability to merge the plumbing version with the sheet metal version that I thought would have been worked out a long time ago since the majority of the shops that use QP will have plumbing and sheet metal estimators
Inconvénients :
For some reason since our last update we have not been able to work on the network, we have to escape out of the server do the takeoffs and copy the summaries back on to the server.
