Digital Productiong Control License Comparison - DPC

Digital Production Control™ has two main license types, Project Manager and Foreman. A company must have at least one PM version to use Digital Production Control - they could use many foreman versions for field entry.

The Foreman license provides field workers a slightly less feature-rich product with just the functionality that a typical field employee might need.

The PM license provides the Estimator/Project Manager all the functionality a Foreman has, plus various management-level features. The PM license is required to convert an On-Screen Takeoff file and Quick Bid estimate into a Digital Production Control project.
