Hey there, construction estimators! Buckle up, because we’ve got some exciting news. Sage recently acquired Bridgetown Software, the brains behind BidMatrix, a popular cloud-based bid analysis tool. This is Sage’s second major construction sector acquisition in just a year, and it shows their commitment to giving you the best tools to win.
So, what does this mean for you?
The integration of BidMatrix with Sage Estimating creates a powerful one-two punch for estimators, combining the best of estimating and bid analysis.
- Close More Deals with Confidence: BidMatrix equips you with real-time low path analysis. This lets you spot and avoid potential issues before they become problems. It also eliminates guesswork with subcontractor bidding, ensuring your estimates are accurate and competitive.
- Streamline Collaboration & Eliminate Errors: Multiple users, regardless of location, can work on bids together at the same time. No more messy merging of documents! This not only streamlines the bidding process but also minimizes errors that can creep in during manual data entry.
- Effortless Integration & Scalability: BidMatrix seamlessly integrates with the construction software you already use, like Sage Estimating, Trimble WinEst, SmartBid, Procore, BuildingConnected, and Excel. Plus, it’s a 100% web-based application, so no IT headaches!
Flexibility is key
Sage understands that no two businesses are the same. That’s why they’ll continue to work with third-party preconstruction and estimating tools. This gives you the flexibility to pick the perfect mix of Sage and other solutions that best suit your specific needs.
Sage wants you to win!
This acquisition is a clear signal of Sage’s dedication to empowering small and mid-sized construction businesses like yours. With BidMatrix joining the team, you can expect even more powerful tools, seamless workflows, and the confidence to dominate the estimating game.
