Your business doesn't make money costing, quoting, designing, documenting, drawing, scheduling, organising and managing. These things are important.

However, you only make money supplying material and installing the roof or wall. AppliCad will significantly reduce the time spent on non-income-earning administration and significantly speed up the actual income earning task of installing roofing.

Improve the accuracy of your quotes, improve productivity and efficiency, reduce the error rate, reduce waste and increase profitability.

AppliCad software helps you make money by increasing sales!

The Solar Wizard software determines the solar radiation on any structure at any location on the planet and also maps the effect of shadows from surrounding structures and/or objects such as trees....

What just one of our customer's thinks of AppliCad

"I am Roof Hugger’s owner Dale Nelson. I met AppliCad’s owner Ray Smith and his Head Programmer Leigh Menzel at the Metalcon Trade Show.  Ray and Leigh demonstrated the impressive Applicad software.  Showing its accuracy in drawing in 3-D, doing metal roof panel layout and cut lengths, scrap utilization, fastener and clip takeoffs, calculating gutters, trim and much more with total accuracy. We at Roof Hugger have found a good thing and plan to stick with it from now on.  We also made a couple of great friends in Ray and Leigh who are always standing behind us when the inevitable complication arises."

AppliCad Mobile Updated for Windows 8

Of particular interest lately is the release of Windows 8 from Microsoft. AppliCad has completed various updates that take full advantage of the new Windows 8 operating system, especially on the tablet/slate PC configuration.  The AppliCad tablet interface was first released over 6 years ago and has remained largely unchanged since, as it just worked so well on the tablet PC. It has been taken to a whole new level with the new Windows 8 interface. We see this being useful for collecting measurement information and digitising roof shapes in the field.  The process is simple - Sketch a roof shape free-hand; then use the ‘auto-scale’ tools to create the actual shape and size of the roof, based on real measurements.

The latest release of the AppliCad suite of programs has seen over 12 months of enhancements and new development that is the result of feedback from the AppliCad operators in 127 countries.
