SolarWizard

[Ray Smith]

Further consolidating AppliCad’s position in the specialist CAD
industry was the launch of SolarWizard which is the combined result of
nearly two years work by the development team. Documentation of
suggested enhancements from customers in 40 countries was collated and
prioritised according to resulting benefit to users. Top of the list
was improved speed followed closely by digitising aerial imagery and
solar design tools.

Given the ready availability of aerial image libraries to the
construction sector, accessible via the web and from specialist
vendors, the re-designed image digitising tools in the new AppliCad
enable every consultant, contractor or installer to prepare accurate
client proposals from the desk without the need for an expensive site
visit, at least until a commitment from the customer has been
received. This results in huge savings in time and gas and improves
turn-around time from initial enquiry to professional proposal. It
also saves money spent on third party service providers doing this for
the contractor, who can now do it for him/herself without any
additional cost or delay.
