Spectrum's Project Setup module can be used as a link between your estimating program and Spectrum. Project Setup provides a fully automated method of transferring estimates to Job Cost, where job detail is automatically created. The job is set up in Job Cost, subcontracts are set up in Accounts Payable / Subcontract Management, and the contract is set up in Accounts Receivable. Manual re-entry of estimates in Spectrum is eliminated! Time is saved and accuracy is improved.

Project Setup is a powerful tool, allowing full integration between the Spectrum accounting system and the estimating system your company uses. Project Setup may be used with many commercial estimating packages, as well as estimating spreadsheets such as Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, and Quatro Pro.
