Business Center - Heavy Construction Edition Modules
Business Center-Heavy Construction Edition (HCE) feautres a
module based design allowing contractors to customize the software
to suit their needs.
As part of the Connected Office solution, Business Center - HCE
has powerful tools to help control data flow between the office and
the field. You can easily combine and manage data from multiple
sources to generate accurate, integrated results, and then share
these results with the entire project team. Business Centerâ€"HCE
can help you decrease costly mistakes and increase productivity in
the office and on the construction job site. Below is a list of
common tasks and procedures that are made easy with BC-HCE, and the
modules needed to accomplish these tasks.
