We are thrilled to officially announce that we have integrated Gescan’s material pricing into Quantify electrical estimating software! With direct integration to Gescan’s pricing, Quantify gives contractors instant access to the most accurate and up-to-date supplier prices. No more waiting for quotes or manually entering data—everything is right at your fingertips, ready to use! PataBid is a pioneer in the concept of supplier integrations, partnering with City Electric Supply in 2023 and most recently, Gescan, a Sonepar company.
Why Supplier Integrations
Quantify’s supplier integrations provide contractors with 24/7 access to real-time material pricing. This trail blazing collaboration means contractors can link their supplier accounts to PataBid, ensuring they can instantly compare material prices and bid electrical work without waiting for quotes.
Supplier integrations in Quantify enhance transparency in material ordering by allowing contractors to view product pricing from multiple sources within a single platform. This minimizes the risk of estimating errors caused by manual price entry, thanks to real-time pricing data. Quantify's automatic price updates ensure contractors stay informed about fluctuating material costs. By optimizing efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration in the estimating process, Quantify helps produce more reliable and competitive bids. PataBid Quantify offers unmatched connectivity to suppliers that no other electrical estimating software can provide.
Why Contractors Love It
Supplier integrations offer a mutually beneficial solution for both contractors and suppliers by streamlining material pricing. Here’s why contractors love supplier integrations:
Instant - Import up to the minute pricing into your estimates in seconds, 24/7, without the need to call branches.
Automatic - Stay updated on material price changes with automatic pricing updates in Quantify. Schedule how often the pricing is updated from your suppliers.
Efficient - Streamline preconstruction workflows to reduce estimating errors, save time, and maximize profits.
What People Are Saying
Here’s what Megan Giroux, VP of Grace Electric, has to say about supplier integrations in Quantify electrical estimating software:
“PataBid’s software has been an invaluable addition to our estimating process! During 2020 and the following years, we were finding that our previous estimating methods were no longer reliable due to constant change in the market price of material. We also began branching out into new types of work during this time, and needed to revamp our estimating systems entirely. When we found PataBid, it was a life saver! The integration with City Electric Supply made it easy to get live pricing which helped so much with staying on top of market volatility, as well as reviewing where items were increasing the most.
Now that they have added the Gescan integration, it is so fast and easy to compare pricing between the two suppliers, live. It is such a time saver to be able to change suppliers with the click of a button and know that the pricing is accurate and up to date with our account specific pricing. Having the live integration also cuts out the time spent waiting to receive quotes back from the suppliers, you are able to just send it right out to your salesperson of choice, and have them enter it as an order.”
PataBid is pleased to be partnering with an innovative company like Gescan to continue to drive change in the industry with instant material pricing. PataBid, together with our supplier partners, are revolutionizing preconstruction processes to better serve contractors.
