CK Electrical was the 100th contractor to subscribe to the recently launched Estimation Group Data Services (EGDS), doing so with a view to reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
The firm has been using Estimation's software modules since 1988 and has recently opted for its Pick + Mix data solution. This move was made by the firm in recognition that the data it was using needed to be upgraded to meet its requirements. In particular, CK Electrical wanted to be able to use the data to streamline its procurement process by having more efficient and manageable data. The firm was attracted to the Pick + Mix solution as it enabled the firm to choose its most significant suppliers and their product ranges, allowing CK Electrical to minimise the size of its database.

  The service reduces the time spent on procurement and pricing as quotations are not needed, the data being up-to-date and reliable. This frees the firm's time for added-value activities, such as talking to suppliers about their service levels.

CK Electrical is also using a range of other Estimation packages including BidMaster Genesis, Procurement, Contract Management and Contractor's Accounts.
