Plexxis Software
PLEXXIS serves as a comprehensive solution for subcontractors by integrating project management, accounting, estimating, takeoff, and mobile applications within a unified technological framework. Furthermore, Plexxis ensures that all implementation and support services are handled entirely in-house, while also offering straightforward agreements designed to safeguard subcontractors from several issues. These include unfair subscription practices, where vendors lack transparency regarding total onboarding costs and may misrepresent offerings without providing reasonable cancellation options. Additionally, they combat cloud cuffing, a tactic where vendors demand fees before clients are operational and may hold client data hostage to extract further payments. The platform also addresses smoke stacking, which occurs when vendors exaggerate the integration capabilities of their tools, and overages, where clients receive vague service rates and non-binding estimates that lead to unexpected change orders. Overall, Plexxis prioritizes the needs of subcontractors by promoting clarity and fairness in their agreements and services.

HEADS Rail
HEADS Rail represents an advanced CAD-based software specifically designed for railway engineering, leveraging survey information collected from total stations to produce Digital Terrain Models (DTM) that include ground contours. Beyond its capabilities in processing satellite imagery, it adeptly transforms TM (Survey) coordinates into UTM (GPS) coordinates, collaborates with Google Earth for planning greenfield alignments, and utilizes elevation data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) via global mapper, all while eliminating the necessity for on-site topographic surveys. The software is proficient in designing both elevated and underground sections of metro rail, flexible enough to accommodate various straight and curved alignments dictated by the prevailing site conditions. HEADS Rail distinguishes itself as an exceptionally capable tool for managing railway track construction and double tracking initiatives, effectively tackling diverse design obstacles encountered along the route by carefully addressing alignment geometry, vertical profiles, crossings, and yard configurations. Moreover, HEADS Rail not only generates comprehensive project construction drawings—including plans, profiles, and cross-sections—but also provides cost estimations, ensuring thorough project development. Consequently, HEADS Rail emerges as an indispensable asset for railway construction industry professionals, streamlining the design process and enhancing project efficiency.
