Using PlanSwift in today’s fast-paced construction environment and expecting efficiency, higher bid volume, and better win rates is a bit crazy! From file corruption to bottlenecks in your workflow to problems with version control, desktop software is just madness.
On-premise desktop software is like trying to send emails from a flip phone. Old-school tools like PlanSwift only hold you back from success.
STACK is one of the most intuitive all-in-one construction platforms on the market. We’ll guide you through three ways PlanSwift is slowing you down and how STACK will accelerate business growth in today’s challenging bidding landscape.
1. Prisoner To Your Desktop: A Recipe for Data Disaster
PlanSwift users are required to download and install the software on Windows or if using a MAC, install with a Windows Emulator and a valid Windows OS – a hidden cost with the license. In an era where cross-platform compatibility is expected, this is a huge obstacle if you rely on different operating systems, like MacOS or iOS. Desktop software also raises concerns about the security and maintenance of the software.
If your entire team isn’t in the same location as the computer hosting PlanSwift, there is no way for anyone else to see the projects. This leads to risky behaviors like emailing sensitive documents or sharing login information, let alone time wasted getting to the office to access important documents and project files.
