HBXL, the building software specialist company has again scooped 3 top accolades at Interbuild 2008 by winning:
Interbuild New Product Awards:
- ‘Best new IT product for SME’s’ for PlansXpress v.2
Interbuild IT Showcase Awards:
- ‘Most Successful IT Return on Investment’ for EstimatorXpress
- ‘Best Connected Construction IT Project’ for the suite of EstimatorXpress, PlansXpress and Health & Safety Xpert
These awards bring together leading construction software companies to celebrate innovations in IT for builders and the trade.
The awards were presented to the software company and customer
partnership that was judged to have delivered a software solution that
produced the most tangible business benefit.
Viewed as being the leading industry experts on building software, HBXL won the Most Successful IT Return on Investment with Lee Goodwin and Oakleafe Property Services for their use of EstimatorXpress, and Best Connected Construction IT Project with Bristol-based Footprint Ltd for their purchase of EstimatorXpress, PlansXpress and Health & Safety Xpert.
Both companies used HBXL’s EstimatorXpress estimating software which proved invaluable, helping to accurately plan the budgets, win the work and bring them in on time.
For Footprint Ltd, the X-connex™ link between EstimatorXpress, Health & Safety Xpert and PlansXpress,
along with their forward thinking vision for the business, was the key
to their success where instant health and safety paperwork is produced
based on the dimensions and details of the estimate imported from the PlansXpress drawing.
Lee Goodwin who runs Oakleaf
says he puts his success largely down to the software which helps him
quickly produce quotes and win business to boost his turnover.
Anthony Botibol, marketing manager at HBXL said: “It’s great to win
these awards. These are just two businesses from our user base of
thousands of businesses that have benefited from using EstimatorXpress, PlansXpress and Health & Safety Xpert, and we’re delighted that we’ve also won the Best IT Product for SME’s for the new PlansXpress v.2.
“More and more builders are realising the benefits software like
ours can bring to their business. We now live in an era when winning or
losing a new contract can be based on the way you portray yourself to
prospective clients, so making the right impression and presenting your
company in a professional manner is paramount.
“Many of our customers have expanded, taken on more jobs, increased
turnover and improved profitability. In addition, they now have more
time to concentrate on the job in hand and extra time to enjoy leisure
activities.
“The message we’re trying put out is that using software packages
like ours will really prove beneficial to a builder’s business,
particularly during the current economic slowdown.”
