Here&#8217;s a quick overview.<\/p>\n<h3>Request for Quotes (RFQ)<\/h3>\n<p>No more chasing suppliers and contractors for quotes; handle it all with a few clicks. Manage the process of sending suppliers &amp; contractors detailed plans and requests, as well as managing replies from within the system. Set required response times and instantly see who\u2019s accepted the quotes. Send detailed plans and scopes of work, right through to automated reminders to ensure that all responses come back in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Request for Quote\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lwdvuIr8BB8?start=544&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Role based permissions (User Access Controls)<\/h3>\n<p>As team sizes grow it\u2019s more likely that you\u2019ll have people wearing designated hats. Now you can control access to the system based on people\u2019s roles, so that your team only gets access to the information that they need to see. This new feature is part of our new &#8216;<strong>Teams&#8217; plan<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/nz\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>see pricing page<\/strong><\/a>).

You can draw down on different cost categories, add retentions and refundable deposits. No more manual calculations to keep track of your claims; Buildxact does all the thinking\/maths for you.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Completion percent invoicing and retention\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_M7BU10BL-s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Take deposits for cost plus jobs and completion percent<\/h3>\n<p>If you take a deposit upfront as part of your invoicing and then later credit it back to subsequent invoices, we have great news for you. We\u2019ve added that functionality to contract, cost plus\/chargeup and completion percent styles of invoicing. Now it\u2019s easier than ever to take a deposit upfront and transparently credit it back to your client and have the client aware of what\u2019s going on at all times.\u00a0For more information, have a look at the FAQs (<a href=\"https:\/\/help.buildxact.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>click here<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your input and comments continue to help us develop new features and improvements and we&#8217;re grateful for your feedback.
