partnership that was judged to have delivered a software solution that

For E Stayte and Co, the link between EstimatorXpress and HBXL’s Health & Safety Xpert
software was the key to its success where instant health and safety
paperwork is produced based on the dimensions and details of the
estimate imported from.

largely down to the software which helps him quickly produce quotes and.
Stuart said: “The client told me that the professional quote that
I had produced was head and shoulders above anything else they were
given.”

relevant health and safety paperwork simply by exporting the estimated
job directly into Health & Safety Xpert from EstimatorXpress.

permits to work and forms he needs for each job.
