ConEst Software Announces PowerSuite Business Management Software for Electrical Contractors

(PRWEB) October 27, 2006 -- ConEst Software Systems is the leading developer of estimating and business management software for the electrical and datacom industries. ConEst announces a complete contractor management and bidding system with the fully integrated suite of the IntelliBid™ v5.1 estimating software and the PowerSuite™ set of solutions, which includes BidTrac™, JobTrac™, T&M Billing Manager™, Electrical Formulas™ and PermitTrac™.

ConEst's flagship estimating software, IntelliBid v5.1, continues to set itself apart from other mainstream programs with the latest release of the software, which includes an expanded database featuring over 70,000 electrical, low voltage and structured cabling materials. Additional features include enhanced takeoff functionality designed to speed the estimating process.

ConEst software products are built for Microsoft operating systems. Each program in the PowerSuite system is designed to integrate seamlessly with estimates created using the IntelliBid estimating program, or to function independently as a standalone application.

"PowerSuite includes all of the tools an electrical contractor needs to create and track bids, manage projects and improve profitability, states George Hague, President/CEO of ConEst Software. "As a former electrical contractor and professional estimator, I wanted the PowerSuite products to work with each other in a way a contractor understands. I think any contractor will appreciate the built-in intelligence, work flow, and ease-of-use we've designed into these products."

PowerSuite electrical management solutions include BidTrac, which keeps estimates organized by storing historical bid data. JobTrac gives contractors control of electrical projects by tracking change orders, alternates, submittals and other correspondence, purchase orders, AIA billing and job costing. Electrical Formulas allows contractors to perform electrical calculations and lighting design while simultaneously updating their estimates. T&M Billing and Dispatch Manager helps contractors schedule work crews, generate work orders and process invoices. PermitTrac is a simple program for tracking permit applications.
