"Teams that we felt were going to take a lot of prying away from their old spreadsheets and manual processes are already embracing the system because it's easy to use."
“Enquiries are now a two-hour process, instead of a day and a half. It was a no-brainer for the estimating department.”
“ConQuest has allowed us to get enquiries out a lot quicker than we used to and allows us to pull together prices quicker. In turn, we can price far more work, and it's likely doubled our tender output capacity.”
“It is brilliant. I can't praise the system enough in terms of how quick it is and how it has helped boost productivity.”
“Having libraries of rates means you can markup materials individually rather than across the job. It gives us ownership and clarity, so we know exactly what we've got at every step of the project.”
"With Access ConQuest, we've been able to double our output whilst increasing the same high level of accuracy our clients expect from us. This has been crucial for our business growth."
