► ReproMAX DFS Benefits Summary

• Reduce Mistakes  |  Always Know Which Document is Current... You and the project team will always know which document is the most current with DFS version control. Regardless of what issue of the drawings were released, the "Current Set" folder contains the most current and up-to-date set of plans. They are also broken down by discipline so you can get the "Current Architectural Set" and so on. If you need a specific issue set, you can go to that specific folder. Older versions of the documents are clearly indicated with a red dot.
• Save Time  |  Get prints in a matter of minutes... With the Instant Print button you can print a plan to your local plotter right away. Great for when you need two or three sheets quickly. Avoid delivery time and charges, and running all around town picking up plans.
• Always Know Who's Current  |  Reduce mistakes caused by contractors using the old plans... With DFS's interactive plan holders list, you get an up-to-the-second report of who is holding current or old documents. Those holding old versions of documents are clearly indicated with a red dot on the icon.
• Improve Your Company Identity  |  Customize your online plan room with your logo's and colours... Who wants to go to another company's plan room? With DFS custom plan rooms, you can customize just about everything. Make your plan room's image outstanding, yet an integral part of your company's presence and identity.
• Quicker Access  |  Find, view, order, print or download documents... You and your entire project team will have easier and quicker access to project documents and information. Display any and all project information in a customizable project details page. Add photos, graphics, project attributes, hyperlinks and more. You can quickly find your projects and documents with customized searches and view a PDF of the file with one click. Documents can be added to the shopping cart and thus prints ordered for you and any of your contacts. Order full and half size prints, or print instantly with the two-step checkout process.
• Better Estimates  |  Use integrated online takeoff tools to quickly and accurately estimate a project... DFS is integrated with online takeoff tools that allow you to access documents in the plan room and perform takeoffs and estimates.
• Organize Your Contacts  |  Import your contacts from other systems and create distribution lists... With DFS you can create your own address book, import contacts from other systems or create them on the fly. Search for your contacts by name, trade, CSI code, or any other attribute. Create distribution lists for sending orders and notifications to a specific group of people. Grant and deny access to specific projects and folders for each contact to keep your documents secure.
• Better Project Communication  |  Distribute bid sets quickly and accurately to get the best bids... Send out more bid sets with the DFS Invitation to Bid system. Get a jump on the competition by lowering the costs of sending out bids and increasing the number of bidders. Contractors will receive an invitation to bid via email or fax and can go to the online plan room to view, order, instant print documents, and create online takeoffs.

► Design File Management
ReproMAX DFM™ is an advanced set of tools designed to allow all members of an AEC project team to create, manage and share electronic design documents from the very beginning of the project through the very end. When combined with ReproMAX DFS, the project has a powerful tool to make all aspects of document creation and distribution more efficient.

ReproMAX DFM is comprised of a number of modules that are optimized for each of the different users in an AEC Project. The DFM modules are described below:

• DFM/File Sharing... is a tool that allows geographically distributed project team members to share electronic files as if they were working in the same room. Team members can create a folder structure to contain design files, reports, sketches, or any type of file that they need to share with other teammates. To add a document to the folder structure, they simply drag the files from their PC and drop them on the appropriate project folder in DFM/File Sharing. The system takes care of copying the files to the central project server, setting version control and creating viewable and printable versions of the documents. In seconds, teammates anywhere can quickly and easily exchange files with the appropriate security and version control to assure that the correct team members have the appropriate documents.
• DFM/AutoCAD Manager... is a powerful tool that integrates with your AutoCAD system so all of your AutoCAD users can share design files quickly and easily. DFM/AutoCAD bundles all of your drawing xrefs, fonts, line information, etc, with the DWG files so that other design team members can work with your files without missing information. This allows the designer to focus on designing instead of emailing or FTPing files, creating print files, and assuring all team members have the correct document versions. DFM provides all these capabilities with a few simple mouse clicks.
