Estimating & Procurement

At ViXEN we understand the pressures associated with successful estimating in the Construction and Building Services industries. Submitting a professional estimate quickly without compromising accuracy can be difficult to achieve, but it is essential to the future of your business. ViXEN estimating solutions provide an accurate, thorough and professional answer in a fraction of the time taken using conventional methods, giving you the competitive edge.

Budget Estimating (ProjectWinner)
ViXEN Project Winner is a unique, highly advanced budget estimating system designed for users with little or no design information. Using a knowledge base originally developed under the auspices of the RICS and in consultation with a panel of leading estimating practitioners, Project Winner offers a revolutionary approach to estimating using BCIS indices. When otherwise providing a detailed project cost for a client would be impossible or, at best, costly and time-consuming, Project Winner offers a professional solution.

Take-off Estimating
The ViXEN Estimating module is a technological development of traditional estimating methods, benefiting from access to manufacturer prices and discounts from the Luckins Price File Database. Capable of instantly recalculating estimates by varying components such as labour rates, materials, overheads or profit margins, ViXEN Estimating is a powerful time-saving solution benefiting clients, suppliers, operatives and supervisors alike.

Procurement
The ViXEN Purchase Order module links to ViXEN Estimating and ViXEN Sales Ledger, Purchase Ledger and Job Costing systems. Using information from within the integrated system and the Luckins Price File Database, the ViXEN Purchase Order facility is capable of producing printed orders, calculating prices, discounts and product descriptions, the value of outstanding orders and useful analyses.
