Software alliance nails whole building design
A sure way to maximise the productivity of your timber frame, roof and floor manufacturing plant is by using powerful industry software packages to their full potential. Some software houses have taken the next step; establishing partnerships to further improve efficiency from conceptual design to the finished built structure.
ITW Alpine, hsbCAD and VisionREZ are prime examples of software houses joining forces to create a single software suite, bringing huge benefits to users. Each of these companies are specialists in their particular field, pooling their knowledge to create the ultimate timber building software solution.
hsbCAD, an Autodesk preferred industry partner, is used for designing and detailing timber frame panels. VIEW by ITW Alpine is a structural analysis program, developed to economically engineer roof trusses and open web joists which are seamlessly integrated into hsbCAD. This new software suite allows the designer to access all structural timber elements within one application. To complete the building design, VisionREZ generates stunning rendered images derived from hsbCAD data delivering a highly professional finish.
When the job is ready for manufacture; hsbCAD sends output to production machinery reducing costly and time consuming manual set-up. All this and other daily processes are controlled by ITW Alpine's AiMS management system which handles the project from enquiry to invoice. Also included within AiMS is a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system and a link to Sage accounting software.
Software utilization could be key to the profitability of your business. To discuss the software suite described above please call ITW Alpine on 01872 245450.
