Single User System with Multiple Users
Occasionally I train companies that have purchased one license (or seat) for HeavyBid for multiple estimators to use. I fully understand the budget considerations where the cost of a multi-user license is just not feasible. First let me discuss the drawbacks of this approach. Obviously you would never expect two operators to share one excavator. Now it is much better now with the web check in and check out service – far superior to the old physical security key (RIP). But a much better solution is to purchase a two multiuser system then you have a much more flexible estimating solution. You can have many users set up (only two at at time can be logged in) and now as long as one user slot is open they can log on anywhere and anytime vastly improving usability. With a two user system everyone can use their own computer. Of course this means that a server will be required but low cost solutions are available for this.
