Case Study: Canem Systems stays online and accelerates estimating with Trimble Accubid Anywhere

Canem Systems Stays Online Thanks to Trimble Accubid Anywhere

Canem Systems Ltd., a Canadian electrical contractor that designs, builds and maintains core electrical infrastructure and related systems across Ontario to British Columbia, suffered a critical estimating outage when its network server failed. Because estimators relied on Trimble Accubid Enterprise and offline files, they were unable to close current jobs or bid on new work, prompting a move to a cloud-based solution.

Canem migrated to Trimble Accubid Anywhere, a cloud-hosted, subscription estimating platform that Trimble hosts and maintains; the team was up and running in days and able to collaborate remotely. The shared, real-time database and automatic updates restored estimating during internal outages, streamlined workflows, improved speed and consistency (building on prior gains that made estimates twice as fast), and enabled reusable assemblies that cover roughly 85% of their projects.
