Pentagone 6: price study and site monitoring software.
Pentagone is software that meets many needs related to price studies and construction site monitoring.
It allows you to manage measurements and prepare a quote. In addition, it allows you to follow your budget and establish situations as well as a schedule.
Beyond a price study software , it is a project management tool which also allows you to manage important business aspects for the company.
QDV: the most powerful price study software on the market, adapted to the needs of civil engineering and construction.
QDV is a very powerful price research tool that takes most of the features of Pentagone, going even further.
Quickly carry out complex pricing studies
QDV integrates in a single file all the data used in your quote and which concerns both the cost price (materials, labor, equipment used for production, etc.) and the sales price.
Highly configurable in terms of rules, QDV allows you to apply all types of calculations (sales factors, risk factors, rates, etc.) on your data to establish your sales prices.
The data is structured simultaneously according to a distribution of work (WBS), product (PBS) or customer slip.
Templates and configurators to save time
QDV allows you to define models that can be reused in another project.
A complex work to cost comes up regularly in your quotes? Transform it into a template to save time for future studies. You can also create configurators and make them available to your account managers. Thus, they will be autonomous in establishing quotes on complex products, in compliance with the calculation rules that you have set.
Optimization of the response to calls for tenders
To design, carry out and renovate large-scale projects, you must respond to calls for tender in the form of DQE (Quantitative and Estimated Details) or DQE to be created (Competition).
QDV allows you to integrate your DPGF without re-entry, respecting its trees and chapters to construct a quote. You can thus estimate your project according to your habits in the software and QDV automatically generates a quote in the format requested for the call for tenders.
Management of external databases
Thanks to subscriptions to databases such as BATIPRIX, TARIFEO or internal databases, you instantly obtain the price in your quotes, while maintaining data integrity and uniqueness of information.
Management of the bimetered format
QDV allows the integration of files in BIMetré format, the new BIM standard for data exchange.
You can thus easily and quickly create your price study based on the estimated measurement carried out by the economist.
The project evolves and the measurements change? Simply update the file to update your quote!
Management of planning and cash flow plan
The costs from your estimate can feed into a schedule (Gantt chart) which will allow dynamic cash flow.
This allows you to easily identify cash flow gaps or critical path issues. You can set up automatic rules to inject cash flow losses into your costing to increase your margins.
Inflation management
QDV has an inflation table to manage price increase factors. When you change your schedule, costs are automatically calculated to account for inflation and show the impact on your margin.
Connection to other components of your information system
QDV is open and communicating software. You can thus connect it to your ERP and your CRM in order to use commercial management information and link it to your invoicing.
Teamwork
The administrator can also assign different parts of the encryption to various teams within the company.
He can merge the data at any time. With QDV's workflow features, you maintain consistency across the business and every split operation is tracked. You also have the choice of the level of information accessible, for sharing with subcontractors without disclosing confidential data (such as margins).
