Now our client can select the materials and digitize the site dimensions, without any need to switch back and forth between the digitizer and the keyboard. Hassle free.

Attach Digitized Takeoff to Proposals - A major advantage of eCaliper is that the system maintains a record of all the digitized points in the actual estimate once a plan has been digitized.

		All your estimating information is stored electronically, safely.
		We have a contractor that generates images of his digitized plans and pastes them into all of his proposals.

Plot Your Takeoff - Since the eCaliper system stores digitized images, we have a large general contractor client that prints out those digitized images at full scale on a large format plotter.

		Revised drawings are received for the project.
		The contractor prints out the digitized images on transparencies.
		Transparencies are overlaid on top of the revised drawings.
		Each and every change made on the revised drawings can be viewed easily ensuring accuracy and convenience.

Digitize a Negative Area or Cutouts - Typically, concrete contractors have to allow for cutouts in slab or pavement projects.

		The eCaliper digitizer software allows the contractor to perform this task in minutes.
		We have a number of clients in the flatwork business that digitize the form perimeter to calculate the square footage of concrete required, while subtracting the cutout area using the negative digitizing capability of eCaliper.

Produce Reports with the Touch of a Pen - The owner of a high volume contractor decided that commonly run reports should be added to their digitizer menus. We helped him accomplish this objective.

		As a result, his estimators can simply "point" to the desired report.
		No need to navigate report menus.
		Another benefit - reports on the digitizer menu provide a "checklist" of reports the estimators should run on a routine basis.
		Your estimating system continually gets "smarter."
