Sage Estimating vs. Simplio3D

Sage Estimating was initially created for the construction industry and many of its current users use it to estimate buildings, but it has adapted quite well for the oil and gas industry. If the user is willing to invest the time and energy to develop and maintain their database, I can see it working for any industry. It is very easy to adjust and adapt the database as estimating methods and project designs change. As an example, our accounting department sometimes changes the way projects are reporting in our accounting software. Because I can go through our 9000 line item database in a couple of days, I am always ahead of the curve and can report my estimates in the format they require.

We sell socks on a large scale and
many orders are customized, so Simplio3D is very good at
streamlining this process. It handles complex pricing structures well, load times have improved significantly since I first started with the platform, and the backend is intuitive and well documented.

• Same format Spreadsheet

• Great customer support
• Very easy to work with
• Good prices

• The program has a fairly antiquated user interface such that someone working in it may not feel like they are working with advanced software.
• Sage Estimating has absolutely no remote access capability outside running it in a Citrix/RDP environment so users have to be using a fat/full client vs. any hopes of access on a mobile device.

The backend where I can manage my configurator is very easy to work with, I can create and update option sets with its variants, I can easily update prices, I can manage 3D assets and I have an integration with my ERP where I collect order details, all from one account.

Sage's support of Estimating is adequate though frankly we rarely need it. Outside of more complex operations such as upgrades and installation problems the program itself is so straightforward that we do not usually have any "issues" and questions that are more about usability can easily be answered in online forums. We trust Sage's capability to answer these questions if needed but rarely use it.
