The new version of Benchmark Estimating software streamlines quantity takeoff, quoting, business reporting and integration with management systems

Benchmark Estimating Software is an estimating and quoting system for the civil, surfacing and surface dressing industries.  The new version of the software, Version 6.05, contains over 100 user-requested enhancements that are already providing major benefits to clients.

Producing high quality, professional quotes helps a business stand out from the competition to win more work.  To meet this requirement Version 6.05 includes the new Microsoft Word quote reports which give users powerful document formatting capabilities to establish their customised quote and report templates. 

Brian Salmond, Chief Estimator Urban Land Development at Works Infrastructure, says: "The new Microsoft Word quotes will come in very handy; we will establish our own quote template with all the required information, including our fax cover sheet, so Benchmark can produce the whole thing; ready-to-go and exactly how we want."

Also included in Version 6.05 are five new Exports to Microsoft Excel to smooth the flow of information throughout a business.  These reports will streamline business reporting and the integration with other business processes as they export key project data out of Benchmark and into Excel.
