Key features of BOEMax

Basis of estimate library

Search the BOE library to leverage existing estimates at a project, work breakdown structure (WBS) or task level. Pull from your previous estimates to create even more accurate proposals.

Estimator— and engineer—friendly pivot table

See all your estimates at a glance with a Excel-like pivot table. The table empowers your team to easily enter their estimates in terms of hours, manpower or cost—reducing the chance of errors caused by constant copying and pasting.

Integrate bi-directionally with MS Project and Primavera

Define tasks and their durations, add resources, hours and material dollars in BOEMax. Then, dump the data to MS Project or Primavera. All the structures—including WBS, tasks, codes, resources, hours, etc— will be maintained. The scheduler can then link the tasks with logic and then push the data back into BOEMax, so you can reprice the bid with ease.

Role-based workflow queue

Set up and assign role-based tasks to your team and track progress of the proposal—in real time.

Proposal versioning

Save a “what if” snapshot of your proposal at any time so you can compare your current version to any other version. Restore any old version at the press of a button

Data-backed document creation

Use your estimated price to create compliant documents and reports in any format you need. Store those documents in BOEMax so your team always has the latest version.

Traceability

Leverage our proprietary rate traceability system to answer auditors’ questions—without having to dig up the data. This system has proven to work in DCMA and DCAA audits.

Integration with cost management software example

Integrate with cost management software—like MaxTeam

Export your estimate data to MaxTeam to create a budget baseline. As your budget changes, make updates in BOEMax and push them to MaxTeam. This makes rolling wave planning a cinch.
