PlanSwift's New 8.2 Software Release Provides Faster Estimating, More

   Third-Party Capabilities and Easier Methods for Takeoff and Estimation



    SALT LAKE CITY, July 24 /EMWNews/ -- Tech Unlimited, Inc. announced

the latest release of PlanSwift, the construction industry's leading

takeoff and estimating software program. The 8.2 release offers some of the

most requested updates as well as provides several new capabilities such as

allowing the software to interact with third-party tools and files.



    Some of the features include the ability to drag and drop parts and

assemblies directly onto digitizer items, adding metric units, the addition

of a color legend on the screen, plus a Plug-in manager for third party

plug-ins and additional supported file types. Along with a free one-hour

training session with a professional estimator, the company has added more

tutorial videos to give customers more support for product knowledge.



    James Purpura, the VP of Tech Unlimited, Inc., says, "While more

individuals and companies find PlanSwift easy to use, they also bring their

own wealth of knowledge to the program. Not only do we continue to offer

new and improved methods, we actually seek out industry standards and new

processes that make our product continually work better for our customers.

While using PlanSwift, our customers partner with us when they suggest

improvements or join our beta tester program."



    Purpura said that many of the best features for users are the ones that

let them be more compatible with other programs and files.



    "We now offer a Plugin Manager where users can add third-party plugins

to our software. We also allow a lot more file compatibilities which allow

other types of files to be attached to PlanSwift jobs. This includes

attaching files such as PDFs and e-mails to a PlanSwift job and breaking up

jobs and files to send as e-mail."



    Purpura also mentioned other key features such as finding all

documentation in a new searchable database and a tested improvement on

program speed.



    PlanSwift also encourages developers to write their own plugins for

other PlanSwift users. In the Developers Corner, developers can meet in a

forum and also find PlanSwift documentation in a Knowledge Base.
