Description

For over three decades, The Building Software Co. has been crafting software tailored for builders and related trades, collaborating with both large and small construction firms across New Zealand and Australia. The company’s journey began in the late 1980s when a builder with a passion for computers recognized the need for a software solution that could simplify the laborious process of estimating and quoting for building projects. This realization led to the development of a unique software program to meet this specific need. The initial version of BuildMaster was launched in 1987, and since then, the company has committed itself to ongoing enhancements to ensure it remains the premier software of its kind in the Australasian market. Users can efficiently calculate quantities with pre-defined formulas, utilize pricing from their selected suppliers, and generate professional, precise quotations for their clients, all contributing to smoother project management. As the software has evolved, it has become an indispensable tool for the construction industry, significantly improving productivity and accuracy.

Description

The Building Supply Controller leverages the reliable stability of the Controller Series platform, enhanced with tailored features specific to the building supply industry. This unique combination allows us to effectively fulfill our clients' requirements while delivering the most comprehensive solution available. It accommodates various hardware options such as scanners, display poles, card swipes, and scales, ensuring versatility. Items can be measured in multiple units, including MBFM, pieces, linear feet, and square feet, providing flexibility in inventory management. Furthermore, it facilitates seamless transitions from quotations to sales orders and invoices in real-time. The system includes a “buy down” feature to manage partial billing and delivery efficiently. Integration with the “Seljax Estimator” software is supported, along with an “In House Manufacturing” function designed for RTM building projects. It also interfaces with supplier price catalogues, maintains customer purchase and service history, and allows for quick adjustments to account restrictions at the touch of a button. Additionally, it offers breakpoint pricing for bulk sales, cross-referenced pricing for items from various suppliers, and the capability to create custom packages and kits. Special pricing for customers can be easily established, and item linking for deposits and environmental fees is also available, ensuring a comprehensive and user-friendly experience. All these features come together to create a powerful tool that simplifies the complexities of managing building supply operations.
