Planswift Launches Development Platform And Software Development Kit

Nov. 17, 2008 - PRLog -- Evergreen, CO.,— The long-standing norm of doing takeoffs with paper blueprints, along with the costs of shipping and handling of those prints through conventional methods, is quickly being outpaced by digital blueprints and an email delivery system.  Because digital takeoff and estimating is becoming the standard throughout the industry, many software vendors are seeking ways to develop their own software or to partner with other software companies to create industry specific applications.

Tech Unlimited, Inc. announced today the launch of a developer version and software development kit (SDK) in order to encourage partners to integrate their products and develop more tools to utilize with PlanSwift, their easy-to-use construction takeoff and estimating software program.  With virtually no development cost, PlanSwift is affording companies the ability to take advantage of their proven takeoff software by providing this SDK specifically for developers.  This allows third parties to create and adapt PlanSwift for their specific needs and industries.

“We are providing companies the ability to jump right in and round out their product line quickly and with minimal cost.  It becomes extremely attractive when compared to the time and cost of developing from the ground up,” says Matthew Miller, PlanSwift Director of National Sales.
   
Miller also states how PlanSwift has spent a great deal of time listening to third-party developers as well as people who use their software on a regular basis.  This insight has provided the background for their SDK to approach and encourage developers to create applications that integrate seamlessly with PlanSwift.

“If an established, respected software package is on the market and it’s built on a platform that allows companies the ability to integrate and meet the needs of their specific industry, the cost benefit analysis is easy to see,” says Miller.

Planswift is extending an invitation to the industry to download the SDK and learn more about this program at http://www.planswift.com/sdk.
