VuMAP opens the gateway to efficient project planning


Pop quiz: A customer contacts you for a quote to install fencing.

What do you do next?

a) Call them and arrange a time to send a sales rep to measure the property?
b) Ask for the linear footage of the property boundary then take their word for it to prepare the quote?
c) Take the job sight unseen and start making arrangements?

How about none of the above?

a) Why send a sales rep without qualifying the lead? Now is the time to weed out window shoppers.
b) Are you sure the property manager who contacted you is really on top of those details or just taking a guess?
c) Are you crazy?

d) Let's see how VuMAP can help with preliminary research about the customer's property.

4. Use the built in tools to measure the area of the property.





5. Save your work and add the map you made as a supporting document to your quote so the customer has clear expectations of what's included.



6. Use your map to recognize work site hazards and obstacles, and communicate the plans with your on-site workers.



7. Laugh all the way to the bank.
