The EDGE® estimating software solution now offers a vendor quote feature, helping roofing contractors create bids faster. 

Have you ever wanted to make quick bids, but keep getting slowed down by having to wait for a quote from your vendor or distributor? Now, there is a simple and effective way to get vendor quotes that will help you create your bids faster. The EDGE estimation software by Estimating Edge now offers a vendor quote feature on their platform that allows you to request and receive quotes from your favorite vendors and distributors. 

The EDGE estimating software makes it easier than ever for contractors and subcontractors to create accurate estimates. This description alone doesn’t begin to sum up all that The EDGE can do for you. From calculating production changes to providing accurate material and labor costs to keeping audit trails, this software can truly do it all.  

One of the shining features of this software is their vendor quote feature, in which contractors can get accurate pricing from their preferred vendors and distributors in record time. Through the software, you can access these quotes through a secure electronic request portal which can then be imported into whatever bid you are currently working on.  

The vendor quote feature can help you with the following jobs: 

• Roofing 
• Drywall 
• Waterproofing 
• Fireproofing 
• Flooring 
• Exterior insulation finishing systems (EIFS) 
• Painting 
• Acoustical 
• Wall panels 

This feature allows you to streamline your entire bid process as it eliminates manual labor and having to find vendor quotes yourself. You can use it to get multiple quotes and compare them all to create the best bid possible. All your quotes are available in the cloud as well, so even when your bid is finished, you can access them for different jobs.
