Trimble Adds New API Capabilities to Accubid Anywhere Estimating Application
Trimble (TRMB) has announced new API capabilities for its Accubid Anywhere cloud-hosted electrical estimating software. The update introduces five APIs: Project API, Estimate API, Final Price API, Extension API, and Bid Breakdown API, designed to enhance data analysis and collaboration for electrical contractors.
The new APIs enable automated connectivity between estimating and related systems, including ERP, project management, and CRM, eliminating manual data transfer. Key features include the ability to extract project details, capture estimate information, compare initial estimates with final prices, send bills of materials to other software, and analyze detailed bid breakdowns.
Hunt Electric, a national electrical firm, reports using these APIs to better understand bid creation and compare estimates against actual job execution. The APIs are now available in North America for Accubid Anywhere subscribers.
Trimble (TRMB) ha annunciato nuove funzionalità API per il suo software di stima elettrica Accubid Anywhere ospitato nel cloud. L'aggiornamento introduce cinque API: Project API, Estimate API, Final Price API, Extension API e Bid Breakdown API, progettate per migliorare l'analisi dei dati e la collaborazione per gli appaltatori elettrici.
Le nuove API consentono una connettività automatizzata tra i sistemi di stima e quelli correlati, inclusi ERP, gestione progetti e CRM, eliminando il trasferimento manuale dei dati. Tra le funzionalità principali vi è la possibilità di estrarre dettagli del progetto, catturare informazioni sulle stime, confrontare le stime iniziali con i prezzi finali, inviare distinte materiali ad altri software e analizzare dettagliati breakdown delle offerte.
Hunt Electric, un'azienda elettrica nazionale, riporta di utilizzare queste API per comprendere meglio la creazione delle offerte e confrontare le stime con l'esecuzione effettiva dei lavori. Le API sono ora disponibili in Nord America per gli abbonati di Accubid Anywhere.

Trimble (TRMB)는 클라우드 기반 전기 견적 소프트웨어 Accubid Anywhere를 위한 새로운 API 기능을 발표했습니다. 이번 업데이트는 프로젝트 API, 견적 API, 최종 가격 API, 확장 API 및 입찰 세부 사항 API의 5가지 API를 도입하여 전기 계약자들의 데이터 분석 및 협업을 향상시키기 위해 설계되었습니다.
새로운 API는 ERP, 프로젝트 관리 및 CRM을 포함한 견적 및 관련 시스템 간의 자동화된 연결을 가능하게 하여 수동 데이터 전송을 제거합니다. 주요 기능으로는 프로젝트 세부 정보를 추출하고, 견적 정보를 캡처하며, 초기 견적과 최종 가격을 비교하고, 다른 소프트웨어에 자재 목록을 전송하고, 자세한 입찰 내역을 분석하는 기능이 포함됩니다.
전국 전기 회사인 Hunt Electric는 이러한 API를 사용하여 입찰 작성 과정을 더 잘 이해하고 실제 작업 실행과 비교하고 있다고 보고했습니다. API는 이제 Accubid Anywhere 구독자에게 북미에서 사용할 수 있습니다.
Trimble (TRMB) a annoncé de nouvelles capacités API pour son logiciel d'estimation électrique hébergé dans le cloud, Accubid Anywhere. La mise à jour introduit cinq API : Project API, Estimate API, Final Price API, Extension API et Bid Breakdown API, conçues pour améliorer l'analyse des données et la collaboration pour les entrepreneurs électriques.
Les nouvelles API permettent une connectivité automatisée entre les systèmes d'estimation et les systèmes connexes, y compris ERP, gestion de projet et CRM, éliminant ainsi le transfert manuel de données. Les fonctionnalités clés incluent la capacité d'extraire des détails de projet, de capturer des informations d'estimation, de comparer les estimations initiales avec les prix finaux, d'envoyer des listes de matériaux à d'autres logiciels et d'analyser des décompositions d'offres détaillées.
Hunt Electric, une entreprise électrique nationale, rapporte utiliser ces API pour mieux comprendre la création d'offres et comparer les estimations avec l'exécution réelle des travaux. Les API sont désormais disponibles en Amérique du Nord pour les abonnés d'Accubid Anywhere.
Trimble (TRMB) hat neue API-Funktionen für seine cloudbasierte Elektro-Schätzsoftware Accubid Anywhere angekündigt. Das Update führt fünf APIs ein: Project API, Estimate API, Final Price API, Extension API und Bid Breakdown API, die darauf abzielen, die Datenanalyse und Zusammenarbeit für Elektroauftragnehmer zu verbessern.
Die neuen APIs ermöglichen eine automatisierte Konnektivität zwischen der Schätzung und verwandten Systemen, einschließlich ERP, Projektmanagement und CRM, wodurch die manuelle Datenübertragung entfällt. Zu den wichtigsten Funktionen gehören die Möglichkeit, Projektdetails zu extrahieren, Schätzinformationen zu erfassen, erste Schätzungen mit Endpreisen zu vergleichen, Materiallisten an andere Software zu senden und detaillierte Angebotsanalysen durchzuführen.
Hunt Electric, ein nationales Elektrounternehmen, berichtet, dass es diese APIs nutzt, um den Angebotsprozess besser zu verstehen und Schätzungen mit der tatsächlichen Ausführung der Arbeiten zu vergleichen. Die APIs sind jetzt in Nordamerika für Abonnenten von Accubid Anywhere verfügbar.
- Introduction of 5 new APIs enhancing product functionality and market competitiveness
- Expansion of software capabilities reducing manual work and improving operational efficiency
- Real-world implementation success demonstrated through Hunt Electric case study
- availability to North America region only
- Requires existing Accubid Anywhere subscription for access
Automated connectivity enhances data analysis and collaboration for electrical contractors
Five Accubid Anywhere APIs provide a comprehensive suite that helps estimators pull bid data into dashboards and reporting for analysis and improvement of estimating efforts:
- A Project API provides a list of projects with the project details that can be extracted to other software.
- An Estimate API captures all of the estimate information for users to extract into their ERP, including a list of estimates with their details and bid summaries.
- A Final Price API allows users to compare initial estimates and final prices for different projects.
- An Extension API allows users to send bill of materials (BOM) to other software.
- A Bid Breakdown API enables users to more easily retrieve and analyze data points such as field, shop and incidental labor from closeout screens at a line-item level of detail.
Automated API connectivity from estimating to related systems — including ERP, project management and CRM — also eliminates manual data transfer, allowing contractors to collaborate and work more efficiently across workflows.
With robust estimating functionality, integrated graphical takeoff, change order management, pricing, submittal management, and more, Accubid Anywhere helps electrical estimators bid with speed and accuracy.
The expanding suite of Accubid Anywhere APIs reflects Trimble's commitment to bringing benefits of data connectivity to contractors using systems from Trimble and from other suppliers within construction technology ecosystems.
"Estimates generate a high volume of valuable data that should be analyzed and used in other workflows, but this data often gets trapped in the estimating system," said Lawrence Smith, vice president, construction management systems at Trimble. "Using APIs to extract and connect data automatically to other systems means contractors don't have to import, export or manually re-type the information. This improves efficiency and decision making on both the project and operational level."
"Accubid Anywhere APIs allow us to see who created projects and estimates, along with where and when they were created for a better understanding of our bids," said Beau Brenno, director of business Intelligence / artificial Intelligence at Hunt Electric, a national electrical design, build, and maintenance firm based in
