Vision Infosoft has released a new software add-on that provides daily material prices on 1.4 million items. The add-on, EPIC DUO, works directly with the EPIC Pricing System, a subscription service that gives contractors access to electrical material cost information.

EPIC DUO is different from traditional pricing services in that the cost information is updated every day. The service uses sophisticated behind-the-scenes technology that analyzes daily purchase transactions in order to calculate material costs. The data is then crunched into a usable format and is made available as a direct download into the Epic Pricing System.

EPIC DUO works directly with the EPIC Pricing System to provide daily price updates on over 1 million electrical materials.

EPIC DUO helps contractors solve one of their biggest challenges: creating an accurate and up-to-date estimate. Without accurate job estimates, contractors risk overbidding a job and losing it to competition, or underbidding a job and hurting profits. In this economy, there’s not much room for error. It’s important to get estimates right the first time using daily material pricing. This is why technology like EPIC DUO is relevant and valuable.

What’s most exciting is that the whole process can be automated. Electrical estimating software like Vision Infosoft’s Electrical Bid Manager (EBM) integrates with EPIC DUO and will automatically recognize and download any new price updates. Using these two programs, electrical contractors can rest assured that they are bidding the right price on a project.
