Trautman & Shreve began using estimating software in the 1980’s and developed a quality software

based estimating department.  As technology progressed, their software became outdated and their

software provider offered a poor quality product as an upgrade to new technology.

 

When we first spoke with Trautman & Shreve they were, like many estimating departments, buried in work.

One especially large project was putting a strain on the department’s resources.  We installed the software

anyway, so that as time allowed their estimators could get familiar with its abilities.  By the time the estimating

department had worked through their heavy bidding period (and won the bid on the large project) they were

ready to implement Highlands.  It was obvious that managing a large job would be easier with the new software,

so the bid for the large job was redone with Highlands for management purposes for the duration of the project.

 

At this time, Trautman & Shreve has expanded the use of Highlands.  Not only is Highlands software used

for all estimating, it is used by project managers, and the service department as well.  We were able to make

5 estimators, a dozen project managers, and two service managers productive with on the job training.

No formal training class was required.  Trautman & Shreve has used the software to bid hundreds of

millions of dollars in work.

 

Our software is flexible, intuitive, and strong in its abilities.

This makes it the tool of choice for Trautman & Shreve of Denver Colorado.
