We're privileged to have received a wealth of positive feedback and testimonials from our diverse clientele, testifying to the transformative power of our software.

The following section will look at Avolve Software's offerings for a side-by-side comparison. You'll see why, time and again, customers across the industry choose e-PlanSoft™ as their go-to digital plan review solution.

Avolve Software: A Brief Overview

Like e-PlanSoft™, Avolve Software has made significant strides in the digital plan review landscape. Avolve is known for its extensive tool designed to streamline project management and enhance collaboration.

We'll discuss two of Avolve's flagship products in this post: ProjectDox and DigEPlan. ProjectDox prides itself as a leading electronic plan review solution. It promotes collaboration through a centralized system where all relevant parties can access, review, and annotate project documents in real-time.

On the other hand, DigEPlan integrates with permit solutions, providing a unified platform for digital plan review. The aim is to simplify and expedite processes through automated workflows and streamlined communication.

While Avolve Software certainly offers impressive solutions, it's essential to compare them directly with e-PlanSoft™'s offerings to appreciate the unique value each brings to the table fully. In the upcoming section, we'll do just that, diving into a comprehensive comparison between e-PlanSoft™, ProjectDox, and DigEPlan.

e-PlanSoft™ vs. Avolve Software: A Comparative Analysis

Choosing a digital plan review solution is a significant decision. It can impact your team's efficiency, the quality of your project outcomes, and, ultimately, your bottom line. We'll now delve into a head-to-head comparison between e-PlanSoft™ and Avolve Software's ProjectDox and DigEPlan to guide you in this process.

Let's begin with user experience. e-PlanSoft's e-PlanREVIEW® has been lauded for its intuitive, user-friendly interface that minimizes the learning curve and accelerates user adoption. In comparison, ProjectDox and DigEPlan, while robust, have a slightly more complex interface that may require more training.

While all of these platforms offer functionalities such as version comparison, smart search, and batch stamping, e-PlanSoft™ integrates these features with a user-centric design and other proprietary tools, ensuring an optimized and seamless permit acquisition experience. Our commitment is constantly innovating and refining our offerings, setting a new standard in the industry.

When it comes to integration capabilities, e-PlanSoft'™s seamless integration with various permitting systems like Accela, Cityworks, BS&A, and Bitco. Our open API platform can integrate with any modern-day permitting system, thus providing a unified project management platform. Avolve's solutions offer similar integration capabilities, but the feedback from our customer testimonials suggests that e-PlanSoft™ may have an edge here in ease of integration and compatibility.

Customer support is another crucial factor. Both companies provide dedicated support, but e-PlanSoft™'s responsive, customer-centric approach has been repeatedly praised by its users, as evidenced in our customer testimonials.

The comparison makes it clear: while ProjectDox and DigEPlan are strong contenders, e-PlanSoft™'s e-PlanREVIEW® stands out in several key areas. This is further corroborated by the many success stories from our clients who've experienced these benefits firsthand.
