What Are the Benefits of Using ReproMAX PDM?

Reduce Mistakes

Always know which document is current.

You and the project team members will always know which document is the most current with ReproMAX PDM’s version control. Regardless of what issue the drawings were released, the “Current Set” folder contains the most current set of plans. They are also broken down by discipline so you can get the "Current Architectural Set" and so on. If you need a specific issue set, you can go to that specific folder. Old versions of documents are clearly indicated with a red dot.

Your Project, Your Branding

Customize your online planroom with your logo and colors.

Who wants to go to another company’s planroom? With ReproMAX PDM’s custom planrooms, you can customize just about everything, including the logos and colors. Make the planroom yours with your branding to improve your company’s presence and identity.

Save Time

Get prints in a matter of minutes with ReproMAX DFS’ instant print capabilities.

With ReproMAX PDM’s instant print button, you can print a plan to your local plotter in a matter of seconds or minutes. Great for when you need two or three sheets quickly. Avoid delivery time and charges and running all around town picking up plans.

Better Estimates

ReproMAX PDM is integrated with online takeoff tools that allow you to access documents in the planroom and perform takeoffs and estimates.

Always Know Who's Current

Reduce mistakes caused by contractors using old plans.

With ReproMAX PDM’s interactive plan holders list, you get an up-to-the-second report of who is holding current or old documents. Old versions of documents are clearly indicated with a red dot on the icon. Quickly place an order for them with the current documents using the “Order Current” feature.

Quicker Access

Find, view, order, print, or download documents.

You and all of the project team members will have easier and quicker access to project documents and information. Display any and all project information in a customizable project details page. Add photos, graphics, project attributes, hyperlinks, and more.

You can quickly find your projects and documents with customized searches. View a PDF of the file with one click. Documents can be added to the shopping cart and ordered for you or any of your contacts. Order full or half size prints, or download electronic copies with the two-step checkout process.

Litigation Support

Retain history of documents for litigation.

After the project is complete and if litigation becomes necessary, a general contractor will be able to identify which drawings were current at a particular point in time, and which were old revisions. He can also tell who accessed the current drawings, and who accessed older revisions. This is important to settle any disputes about when drawings were released, and who had access to drawings. Also in the event of a design or construction flaw, you can search across multiple projects to determine where the same design or technique was utilized, making it faster and easier to research and correct.

Organize Your Contacts

Import your contacts from other systems and create distribution lists.

With ReproMAX PDM, you can create your own address book. Import your contacts from other systems or create them on the fly. Search for your contacts by name, trade, CSI code, or any other attribute.

Create distribution lists for sending orders and notifications to a specific group of people. Grant and deny access to specific projects and folders for each contact to keep your documents secure.

Better Project Communication

Distribute bids sets quickly and accurately to get the best bids.

Send out more bid sets with ReproMAX PDM’s invitation to bid system. Get a jump on the competition by lowering the costs of sending out bids and increasing the number of bidders. Contractors will receive an invitation to bid via email or fax and can go to the online planroom to view, order, instant print documents, and create online takeoffs. Track incoming bids and view what any contractor has viewed, printed, or downloaded.
