BOEMax
Win the utilities contract
BOEMax in an all-in-one estimating and pricing tool. It's perfect for utility firms that need to quickly send out multiple versions of an estimate.
Features for every part of the estimating process
1) Planning
Import takeoff data: Quickly import your quantities with hierarchies, units of measure identified and related labor and productivity measures.
Import, parse and map requirements: Save time by automatically importing and parsing a lengthy requirements document in seconds. Then you can map it to the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
2) Entering estimates
Searchable estimating process library: Quickly create accurate, credible estimates using historical data. Just search the BOE library to leverage existing estimates at a project, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), or task level. Or pull from your previous estimates to create even more accurate estimates.
Takeoff search capability: Improve your credibility and traceability by searching the entire database for prior estimates and actual performance based on keywords, just like Google. Once you find the estimate you want to use, select it and reuse it and apply a complexity factor if necessary.
Workflow queues and management: No more guessing with who is doing what. With workflow queues, work items automatically shows up in your estimator's queue until they take the required action. Then the item moves to the next responsible person.
Full cost and pricing capability: Use this wizard-driven feature to build cost rules into your craft labor categories so if you enter labor hours your output can be full labor cost. And if you put in material quantities or material dollars, the output is material or non-labor cost.
3) Analyzing what-if scenarios
Hierarchical Bill of Materials (BOM): Modify a parent-level quantity, and it will flow relationally to the children. So you can quickly update and create multiple estimate versions while keeping your pricing accurate.
4) Creating reports
Custom report builder: Quickly construct customer reports by using the "Quick Start" option. Easily drag and drop data items and reordering items the table. This allows you to quickly create these reports:
- Takeoff/BOE report
- Cost summary report
- Ad hoc pivot reports
- Rate reports
- Productivity factor and material installation report
- Cost and Software Data Report (CSDR) in 1921 Flex File format
Rich text documentation and reporting: Create documents with or without rich text templates for repeatable use. This could include information such as basis of estimate, risk, assumptions, statement of work and more.
How BOEMax integrates with earned value management (EVM)
- Exports estimate data to EVM software: Once you win your contract, it's time to manage project performance. BOEMax helps you get started day 1 by exporting estimate data to EVM software like EVMax or Cobra to create a budget baseline.
- Makes rolling wave planning a cinch: As the project progresses and your budget changes, you can make updates in BOEMax and push them to EVMax.

EVMax
Keep the project on course while minimizing delays
EVMax is an earned value management tool that keeps your utility company's project on track with customer support that resolves issues within 24 hours.
Features for each stage of the project cycle
1) Planning
Integrate with MS Project and Primavera: Integrate the time-phased budget baseline from either MS Project or Primavera. Also map just a part of the plan for rolling wave planning.
Import your estimates from BOEMax: Forget copying and pasting estimate data. Instead, transfer it directly from BOEMax to EVMax to begin the baseline setup. Then use BOEMax as an ongoing platform for rolling wave planning.
Manage workflow queues: No need to be a micromanager. Work items will show up in users' queue until they take the required action. Then the items move to the next responsible person.
2) Executing
Contract budget baseline log: This log will support and balance your IPMR report by keeping track of contract and internal changes on a month-to-month summary basis.
Estimated actuals reporting interface: Put all the information needed for adjusting estimated actuals in one place so you can adjust the ACWP total until you are satisfied with the estimated actuals being written into the system.
3) Forecasting
Update forecasts in grid view: With grid view, Project Leads can update the labor forecast directly in the tool and use the forecast validation analysis view to review the validity of the forecast data. So you'll see if there are problems with specific takeoffs (earned and no actuals or actuals and no earned).
4) Reporting
Create compliant reports: With easy-to-use wizards, you can create:
- EV artifacts such as BOE, BCR, WAD, VAR and Forecast forms
- IPMR formats 1-5 and 7
- IPMR UN/CEFACT xml
- IPMR 2 (or the JSON IPMR)
- Traditional EVM reports such as Control Account Plan (CAP) and Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM)
- Cost and Software Data Report (CSDR) in 1921 Flex File Format
- Integrates bi-directionally with MS Project and Primavera
- Support resolved problems with 24 hours
- Produces CAM notebook artifacts using automated workflow
- Integrates in one direction with MS project and Primavera.
- Bugs are fixed in months or never
- Inadequate bolt-on application to import BOE, BCR and WAD forms.
How EVMax integrates with BOEMax
- Quickly establish a budget baseline by Importing estimate data from BOEMax.
- Make rolling wave planning a cinch. by making updates in BOEMax and pushing them to EVMax.
- Integrate workflow processes across both BOEMax and EVMax
