Accubid Systems: total solutions for contractors

Estimating Solutions




Handheld electrical estimating software

With Pocket Bid™, Accubid’s handheld estimating solution for the Pocket PC, you can perform a complete estimate, generate a bill of materials, and produce a final price, right on the job site.

Back at the office, you can synchronize Pocket Bid with your Accubid desktop estimating software solution—Accubid Pro, BidWinner Plus, BidWinner, or PowerBid.

Pocket Bid will run on any device with an ARM or XScale-based processor that uses Microsoft’s Pocket PC 2002 operating system or the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system. Since the Pocket PC and Windows Mobile operating systems are based on the Windows OS, existing Windows users will find the Pocket PC interface familiar and easy to use.

For complete results, Accubid's Pocket Bid™ must be used in conjunction with either Accubid Pro, BidWinner Plus, BidWinner, or PowerBid version 6 or later.

The Schedule screen lists all of the available estimating jobs. Once you’ve opened a job, the following screens are available:
