Go iPave Is Built For Contractors
The needs of contractors are the driving force behind Go iPave software . By working closely with contractors from a variety of disciplines , we continuously improve Go iPave ’ s tools and features . The result is an ever-evolving system that constantly improves how paving contractors measure , bid and win more jobs — all online , and all in less time .
How Go iPave Works
Just log in and search for a property by entering its address . The software creates a project and allows you to see high-resolution aerial photography on top of a measuring scale . Zoom in , zoom out — everything adjusts precisely to give you accurate results . You can measure square feet or yards , linear distance , count parking stalls and identify lot obstacles and markings-- among many other things . High-resolution Go iPave imagery is taken from an airplane versus a satellite , which provides several advantages to users . First , photos are leaf-off in most areas , which means the photos are taken when the landscaping is dormant . You won ’ t be looking at the tops of tree canopies , just the pavement and concrete underneath . You can also view a property from multiple angles . The images are taken from different altitudes , as well as from the north , south , east and west . These angles let you see around a property completely . If a building casts any shadows , you ’ ll be able to tell if it ’ s pavement underneath them . Pictures in some areas are 3-inch resolution , meaning you can zoom as close as you would if you were 3 inches above the pavement . This allows you to gauge the condition of parking lots and roadways . Additionally , there is historical imagery for your properties . You can go back in time to see how the lot or road has changed over the years . This works great if you have an ongoing client that you work with every few years to properly maintain their pavement .
Easily change image angles to see every side of the property . The “ Low North ” view is shown above .
A Time Saving System
Because Go iPave is an online property measuring system , it provides anyone at your company the ability to measure properties for you . This can free up salespeople , estimators and managers to focus on more pressing work — like winning more business . Go iPave significantly reduces the time it takes to turn a bid around to your clients . Something that could take estimators a full day can be cut down to just hours . Jobs that take weeks can be trimmed by days . Even if you plan to visit the property to inspect the conditions , you will enjoy a huge speed advantage over a competitor who is manually measuring with a wheel . Every project you measure on Go iPave is stored in the cloud . This gives you and your team a sales and marketing database full of property intelligence you can easily reference to win more current and future work .
The Advantages Of Go iPave Site Maps
Go iPave hasn ’ t just changed the way properties are measured and maintained ; it ’ s turned the measuring process into a competitive advantage . While measuring in Go iPave , you can color code , group and label your measurements to create a comprehensive , easy-to-follow site diagram . This is helpful both internally with your team , and externally with your clients , as it helps eliminate communication barriers that slow down the sales process . Even better , it cuts down on costly mistakes during production . For example , if you ’ re conducting a multi-phase job , you can get an accurate estimate for each phase of work by grouping and color coding your property measurements accordingly . The resulting visual site map lets your crews see exactly what ’ s expected of them once work commences during each phase . Visual site maps are also a powerful sales tool and offer your clients unparalleled levels of engagement with their project . They can see exactly what your plan of action is , if there will be any interruptions to their business , when and how you will close the lots and reroute traffic , and anything else you may need to show them . All the measurements behind your site map are easily saved to a spreadsheet for you to keep and export . Every job you measure is retained in your projects database for easy access . You can go back to your current estimates and past jobs again and again . Rework your numbers , edit proposals--all the data you need , right at your fingertips .
