SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) introduced Trimble® LiveCount Cloud, a new, faster
cloud-based, digital takeoff Software-as-a-Service (Saas) for
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) contractors. Takeoff
software speeds the estimating process and provides contractors
with the ability to seamlessly integrate and mark-up digital image
files to streamline the quantification process during takeoffs.
Trimble LiveCount Cloud is the latest release in Trimble's expanded
cloud-connected solutions that enable contractors to increase
efficiencies, improve quality and lower costs throughout every
phase of the building construction lifecycle.
Trimble LiveCount Cloud is a software companion to Trimble
Accubid® Classic, an industry-leading estimating
platform specifically designed to meet the needs of MEP contractors
throughout the estimating and project lifecycle. Through its
easy-to-use interface, powerful features and automated workflows,
users are able to quickly calculate length and count of MEP
components from 2D building plans. Accessible from any web browser,
LiveCount Cloud facilitates a real-time, bi-directional link to
Trimble Accubid Classic to ensure estimates are automatically
updated with the correct counts for accurate bids.
"Profitability on a project relies on the accuracy of the
estimate and project proposal. With the increasing complexity of
projects and competitiveness of the bid process, MEP contractors
can no longer rely on manual estimating practices," said
Pat Bohle, general manager of
Trimble's MEP Division. "Trimble LiveCount Cloud can not only
improve the estimating process, but also enable customers to
eliminate extraneous costs such as extra printing of plans."
LiveCount Cloud provides best-in-class server reliability and
performance, allowing contractors to create more bids in less time.
A flexible SaaS subscription provides contractors the ability to
reduce onsite IT costs and scale services to meet their business
requirements.
Trimble LiveCount Cloud is the latest addition to Trimble's
expanded cloud-connected solutions that streamline communication
and collaboration throughout the Design-Build-Operate (DBO)
lifecycle, from the office to the field. Trimble's interconnected
MEP software solutions enable contractors to get the work done
efficiently, with less rework and increased quality assurance,
whether bidding projects, detailing and coordinating buildings
systems, pre-fabricating, estimating and quantifying takeoffs, tool
and asset tracking, and managing real-time status of project
performance.
Availability
Trimble LiveCount Cloud is available now through Trimble's MEP
Division. Additional product information is available at:
