Newest Release of Construction Takeoff Software Utilizes Microsoft Excel
PlanSwift’s 8.4 Release Integrates Takeoffs and Estimating with Spreadsheets and Templates
Salt Lake City, UT., October 21, 2008 -- PlanSwift has just released a new version of its easy-to-navigate construction takeoff and estimating software. This latest release, PlanSwift 8.4, offers a powerful new upgrade; the addition of Live Excel Integration.
"The new Microsoft Excel integration enables PlanSwift users to utilize spreadsheets that they may already have to make automated templates. This really helps to close the gap of learning a new software application while allowing them to implement it with immediate results," said Mike Ramsey, PlanSwift Director of Technical Support.
With the addition of Microsoft Excel, users can make use of OLE (object, linking and embedding) which are essential for budgeting, forecasting, cash flow analysis, consolidations and modeling. Ramsey says that OLE can be accomplished "by linking a specific cell from Excel to a pre-defined digitizer in PlanSwift without sacrificing the flexibility to create a new digitizer on the fly or linking to an existing one."
By allowing current and new users to easily use existing Microsoft Excel templates, PlanSwift 8.4 with Microsoft Excel integration makes reports simple and quick, provides real-time reporting, and provides familiar and user-friendly software while reducing the need for manual intervention.
Contractors, consultants and construction associations can receive a free 14-day trial of PlanSwift 8.4 while new users can receive one full hour of training from an experienced estimator. The software can be downloaded at www.planswift.com/requesttrial.
