Estimating Software for Mac
Estimating Software for Mac
To all who seek estimating software for Mac.
There are a few good software products that work for a Mac. One is something like Turtlesoft it has all type of things with it and options you can purchase.
I got feed up with searching for one that worked the way I personally wanted it. So I created my own, after a sold a few copies those purchasers had many requests, and that is were much more development has went in.
A major feature that many wanted was to be able to link excel sheets to the prices so they could synchronize and update prices very quickly. Well that is done, they just have to follow a few simple rules, and it can be set up and completed in a matter of minutes.
Another feature is that when pricing changes in the database, and they open a old estimate they didnt' want to have to hunt dont the price changes, they wanted it to automatically update the pricing, and the click of a button. So now they no longer have old prices if they dont want, updating old quote is very simple.
iWinBids works for Mac, Windows, and Linux. (YES it still has a few bugs, but just shoot me an email, and I will fix what ever you find)
We are not a large company, and to be completely honest I don't want to be large. I will be dealing with 90% of the people who have issues, if you dont deal directly with me you will probably deal with one of my brothers or my wife.
Now if you wanted to use Windows on a Mac, then why not just use a windows machine. Well that is the main reason I switched to Mac I dont want Windows and I dont want to emulate it on my machine. It seems to have many more flaws and lose of data than I have ever had on Mac. I still backup, but have only had one issue with mac, and that was one that I made my self using filevault, and altering a file I should not have altered.
If you seek just an estimating software iWinBids is just a little more than Craftsman National Electrical Estimator, but has many more features. I also include a Craftsman Electrical Database for each purchase.
Just look around there is software out there, if you can't find exactly what your looking for give me a shout, I'll find some more for you to try, even if it isn't iWinBids.
Good luck
