Pros Ease of use. Im not a tech kind of guy but this thing is so user friendly . Its exactly what i was looking for in a bid program. Cons Have found absolutely nothing i can complain about.

I got the month trial and met with Gene several times to learn the ways the software would help me. He helped me work on jobs I was actually working on and didn't waste time showing me features that don't apply to me. I feel like I was able to get a basic handle on things after a couple of sessions and it's pretty straight forward and easy to use but I don't think I would have figured it out on my own. The support is great. Pros I'm still learning and getting used to it but so far the take off is really helpful. It's so much faster than my old pen, paper and scale rule way of doing things. Cons I'm still new to it so it wouldn't really be fair for me to complain about anything until I'm sure any problems are user errors.

HVAC Manager Construction ### "Need more training" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 16, 2022 We love the product it is fast and efficient. Just a would like a bit more training as we are old school operators Pros This is a very easy to use product. We like ho it separates the labour and material costing from shop lab. to field. The additional material and lab is fantastic and we can compare poundage to actual cost Cons The updates could be more frequent and a confirmation of what was updated would help. We are a Canadian firm, so our costs are different from the world market. We deal in sheet stock so we are selling our metal as a 3rd person cost. Adjustments are frequently made with in the system. The system usually glitches and our estimates sometimes do not have the labour costs.

My piping estimator does not like the product at all and has the same dislike of their screen takeoff. I am considering switching to another software. Pros The support is outstanding but the program is very outdated and I have bee waiting for the new 64 bit program for years. I have been using the product for 15 years and have become very familiar with it. Cons Takeoffs tend to take too long due to a number of issues starting with the dislike of the screen takeoff and constantly needed to restart from freeze ups.

All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor August 16, 2022 Hi Mark, Thanks for taking the time to fill out the review. The good news is we are just finishing up final testing of Wenduct 64 and should be available very shortly. Currently Wenduct will save as you go and will not need to restart. We would love to hear from your piping estimator to find out any issues he has. The Wenpipe 64 Program has tremendous capability and many times just a support training session will very quickly change opinions. Our support team always here to help! KH Keith H.

There are always bugs in everything that need worked out but it seems to always work and it gets us job. Pros It's accurate, it's quick. Seems to be straight forward on how you use it. Cons Getting into the program to change pricing is a little tough, finding out what your changes do to the program is sometimes time consuming. Seems to be a lot of windows to get into the system and maybe a few too many duplications. When you make a change it is sometimes hard to tell if it actually worked, especially on the labor / hours.
