Can PlanAutomate replace our estimation tool?

Written by Henrik Lerkenfeld

PlanAutomate supports certain estimation scenarios with built-in capabilities such as: WBS/CBS templates, bill of quantities, schedule-generated labor estimates, and our Project Modeler for advanced CPQ-type automated estimation. This approach is sufficient for most Project Businesses, and is an advantageous approach because it allows for moving quickly from estimate to live project initiation. For other scenarios, our XML data exchange allows you to import estimates generated in 3rd party estimation tools.
