Quadra Work Estimating

As our industry moves forward into a performance based rates environment, asset management becomes increasingly more critical to an organization’s success.

Quadra is a "state of the art" management system that lets you design, estimate, manage and report on activity going on within your Wennsoft Job Cost Module. Quadra easily facilitates all the required inputs and reports to help organizations monitor and measure their business.

Quadra integrates seamlessly with Wennsoft's Job Cost Module to accurately create estimates by pulling inventory values directly from the GP Inventory Module. Quadra then allows estimators to input work units, labour time, create templates, and manually enter job cost details to generate a complete job cost estimate. Once the estimate is created and approved, all estimate details are pushed to the Wennsoft Job Status screen. As well, the Sales Order Processing (SOP) quote is also generated from the estimate details. This simplifies the estimating process from three steps to one automated process.

In addition, ECALIBER, through ERTH Business Technologies Inc., works closely with stakeholders to be on the leading edge of asset management and asset tracking, as recent regulations (PSAB and IFRS) and requirements for tracking and reporting on assets in both the utility and municipality sectors have created a large demand for asset management services.

Quality asset inventory data is one of the most important data repositories for utilities, and is maximized by direct integration into financial, GIS and maintenance tools. It helps with rate setting, maintenance planning and short and long term capital planning. Without it we are reliant on tactical knowledge which by itself is good, but combined with hard data, becomes paramount.

ECALIBER’s ability to make critical information available so that the proper decision can be made has been a key factor in the growth of our company.

Quadra tracks all elements of your assets in a flexible system that maximizes the reporting capabilities and easily integrates into our GIS systems. Quadra allows you to track all maintenance logs, create preventative maintenance and capital plans, calculate historical asset values based upon a variety of published indices and perform depreciation calculations using four different methods. Quadra is a true fixed asset system fully capable of recording all assets, networks, value, attributes and history. It is fully PSAB and IFRS compliant and capable of running standalone or integrating into Work Order and General Ledger Systems.
