Improved Bid Summary integration with ProContractor and Vista. Viewpoint Estimating MEP now provides the option of integration from the Bid Summary with ProContractor or Vista.

Enhanced cost breakdown detail provides a more seamless experience when exporting to Vista or ProContractor. Estimating MEP users are now able to set up their Contract Item/Phase Codes (Vista) or WBS codes (Pro Contractor) on each Bid Template, and override them when creating/reselecting a bid, if desired. Additionally, within the bid, users will have new folders for Contract Items & Phase Codes or WBS, which include all of the items that will be exported to the ERP system.

Reduce data entry and errors when bringing Bid Summary data into Vista or ProContractor. Each Bid Summary component line can now be exported to ProContractor or Vista. Users also have the ability to set up line items to include calculated values such as Tax Amount, Overhead/Profit Amount, Labor Dollars, etc.

Improved help makes it easier to submit and manage cases and enhancement requests. Features have been added to Help for better case management, and easier submission of new cases. Additionally, Estimating MEP is now integrated with Suggestion box. Suggestion Box allows greater connection between you and the product development team, and allows commenting from the Product team and other users, filters, voting, and notifications. Suggestion Box enriches your interaction with both Product Managers and other Estimating users, inspiring and escalating enhancement requests that can lead to significant improvements.

Greater efficiency with improved integration with Harrison Publishing House. Users can now populate their Estimating MEP Databook catalog with items directly from Harrison CINX.
