DESTINI Estimator is highly customizable and designed to adapt to a wide range of business requirements. Here are the key customization capabilities:
Workflow Adaptation: The software can be tailored to fit both small projects and large commercial developments, aligning with your internal estimating processes.
Custom Dashboards: Users can create dashboards that display data by region, material, labor, and more, enabling personalized data views.
Template Customization: Estimators can build and modify pre-built templates to match company-specific formats and standards.
Flexible Data Structures: Supports custom cost databases, assemblies, and estimate formats to reflect your organization’s structure.
Integration Flexibility: DESTINI Estimator integrates with BIM tools, project management platforms, and other enterprise systems, ensuring seamless data flow.
User Roles and Permissions: Allows configuration of access levels and roles to match team hierarchies and responsibilities.
This flexibility makes it suitable for companies with unique workflows, regional pricing models, or specialized reporting needs.
DESTINI Estimator’s pricing model is customized per client, and while exact figures are not publicly disclosed, here are the known cost components:
Implementation Fees: The initial cost includes implementation, which covers setup, configuration, and training. The scope and cost vary depending on the complexity of your organization.
Support Costs: Technical support is included in the license cost. All users, regardless of license volume, receive the same high level of support.
Training: Initial training is part of the implementation. However, additional training or custom report development may incur extra charges if needed post-implementation.
Licensing: Sold as an enterprise solution, allowing flexible distribution of licenses across multiple offices. Pricing is based on the number of users and modules selected.
DESTINI Estimator provides a comprehensive, multi-tiered training program designed to support users from onboarding through advanced usage:
Hands-On Practice: Users are encouraged to spend at least 1 hour per week practicing in the software during implementation.
GuideCX Integration: Users receive automated reminders and progress tracking for training tasks.
DESTINI Estimator employs enterprise-grade security protocols, especially for its hosted (cloud-based) environment:
Single-Tenant Architecture: Each client’s data is isolated to prevent cross-contamination.
Microsoft Azure Hosting: All data is stored in Microsoft Azure, benefiting from its built-in security, compliance, and redundancy features.
SSL Encryption: Data in transit is protected using SSL certificates, ensuring secure communication between users and servers.
Active Directory Integration: Supports corporate login credentials for secure access control.
No Local Caching: To prevent unauthorized offline access, data is not cached locally unless explicitly checked out.
DESTINI Estimator follows a structured and frequent update schedule, especially for its cloud-hosted version:
Point Releases: Smaller updates may be issued between major releases to fix bugs or introduce minor enhancements.
This approach ensures users benefit from continuous improvements while maintaining control over deployment timing
DESTINI Estimator emphasizes data control and transparency, especially for enterprise clients:
Single-Tenant Architecture: Each client’s data is stored in a dedicated environment, ensuring isolation and control.
Cloud Hosting: Data is stored in Microsoft Azure, with geo-redundancy and compliance features that support secure data portability.
These policies are designed to give clients full control over their estimating data while ensuring it remains secure and accessible.
DESTINI Estimator is designed to be scalable, accommodating both small teams and large enterprises. Key points include:
For scaling down, organizations may need to renegotiate license terms or adjust their contract during renewal
DESTINI Estimator contracts are customized per client, and while exact terms vary, here are general practices:
DESTINI Estimator is hosted on Microsoft Azure, which provides a robust foundation for compliance and security. Key standards include:
Beck Technology also provides technical documentation and security architecture overviews for IT teams during implementation.
