Phil Brown, Causeway's CEO explained, "Industry statistics show the cost of construction tendering to be as much as 3% of project value, with the whole bidding process costing up to 4% of a company's annual turnover".
"In an industry where the average profit margin is quoted in the region of 3.4%, the inefficiencies associated with the tender process are significant".
"Anything that can be done to improve the tender process could significantly impact an organisations bottom line." Unlike most other Estimating Systems which are stand alone pricing tools, Causeway provide Estimating as part of an integrated supply chain management suite, addressing the wider issues associated with tendering, estimating and bid management.

Extending automation reach and functionality
An enhancement to a distributed control system gives manufacturing personnel access to customised information according to their job function.
Phil added, "Historically the significant cost of tendering and bidding has been written off as an overhead, an unavoidable expense associated with winning work; this no longer need be the case".
"The features available within Causeway Estimating Prestige are unique, they have been specifically developed to improve the efficiency of the tendering process".
"From sending electronic enquiries to subcontractors directly from the system in an Excel format, to seamless integration with industry accounting solutions such as Sage".
"All of the features have been designed to make the whole estimating process quicker, easier and more efficient." David Harvey, Divisional Director at Optima Partioning Systems commented, "Causeway Estimating is a system that is fundamental to our business and its entire tendering process".
"The solution is flexible in both functionality and deployment which became apparent when we evaluated it against competitive products in the market, many of which seem dated in comparison".
"Causeway stands out in the industry as an innovative supplier, which is once again being proven through the release of Causeway Estimating Prestige".
"It is undoubtedly a solution that will impact the efficiency of our business, ultimately increasing our bottom line.".
