Applicad
AppliCad, a leader in software for roof and wall estimating, has released the AppliCad suite of programs. The latest release of programs has seen over 12 months of enhancements and new development that is a result of feedback from AppliCad operators in 32 countries. AppliCad leads the way with clever innovation and is typically years ahead of its time. The pocketROOF program, for example, was developed by AppliCad over six years ago. Now with many cell phones having Microsoft Windows Mobile installed, most roofers have a roof-estimating tool on their phone. AppliCad was the first software company to provide two-way data exchange capability so a roofer’s business management system can exchange information with the roof estimating system. Many AppliCad customers now have a totally seamless integration of estimating, ordering, accounts, and delivery. For more information, visitwww.applicad.com.au.

Exact Roofing
Exact Roofing takes the user through a series of easy steps to draw the roof and then derives the estimate from the drawing. The result is faster and more accurate quotes, and a dimensioned drawing to verify what was quoted. The software allows the user to “draw” a plan view, enter the roof pitch and create a three-dimensional model in the computer. From this model a quote can be derived. The upside of this is a more accurate quote, a 3-D model to enhance the quote, and a dimensioned drawing to accompany the quote. For more information, visitwww.exactroofing.com.
Tally Systems
QuickMeasure OnScreen, a major new software release from Tally Systems, helps contractors resolve the growing dilemma of how to generate quantity takeoffs from blueprints that are downloaded from the Internet or distributed on CD. The software allows the estimator to measure directly from the digital image rather than having to reproduce the drawings on paper. QuickMeasure OnScreen links to Microsoft Excel.
