Exactal was
established in October 2003 to develop software
specifically for the quantity surveying and
estimating market and more specifically the
integration between CAD and estimating. Although
there were a few suppliers in this field at the
time, the Exactal approach differed from them by the
way it directly tied to the elements in the CAD
drawings. This approach allowed us to deliver unique
bi-directional links between the estimate and the
sections of the drawing that estimate represented.
The resulting product was called CostX and was
officially launched in July 2004.
CostX is now in use by
the majority of large quantity surveying firms in
Australia as well as in wide spread usage amongst
development, construction and sub-contracting firms.
Continuing to enhance its lead in the market, the
product has grown in functionality including full
multi-user capabilities allowing multiple people to
work on the same data simultaneously. Exactal's
market has also grown world-wide and CostX; is now
sold and supported in the UK, Ireland, UAE,
Malaysia, Singapore, Cyprus, New Zealand and across
Africa.
In January of this
year Exactal, established Exactal Europe Limited
based in the UK to support its growing European
sales base. Through our local staff in the region,
Exactal will expand and support its existing
resellers and continue to expand its European
presence as it moves towards release of its
multi-lingual version of CostX later this year.
Exactal is firmly
committed to continuing to expand the development
and support of CostX around the world to meet the
ongoing needs of the industry. |
