LaunchSite™ is a fully featured, no expense spared Cost Planning and Tender bid Estimating system. Sitting at the centre of your tendering and cost planning world, LaunchSite™ boasts exemplary speed, an enviable tool-set, multiple cost databases for end-user development and links seamlessly with OnSight™ and EasyEarthworks™ take-off tools for effortless measurement of even the most demanding of projects. LaunchSite™ delivers new levels of productivity, efficiency and accuracy in project estimating through better software design.
Its SQL based technology allows teams of users to work simultaneously, in real-time, on the most complex of projects whilst also receiving input from remote users. Project construction is accelerated by the system’s ability to glean information, costs and measures from multiple libraries and historic projects - every single piece of data entered into the system can be retrieved, in seconds, for re-use even years later, making expensive library maintenance a thing of the past and the extensive set of reports is the cherry on the cake.
“In every language some words are normally only reserved for special use. Many software authors us words and phrases such as ‘master’, ‘ultimate’, ‘definitive’, ‘the leader’ and of course ‘the industry standard’. But for LaunchSite™, only one word fits - stunning”

Tutorials
In 1995 we released our first system with video driven Help tutorials - an industry first, and something that we uphold to this day. All our software products come with easy to navigate audio narrated video Help tutorials, designed to guide new users through the initial stages of use and to remind seasoned users how to use those less than frequently used functions. With alterative-word search, users can find the video segments they need, and, we keep our segments up-to-date, ensuring new functions and improved features are reflected in updated videos. Our Help systems never leave you at a loss.
Training
All Visual Precision software systems are available with both stock training courses for cost effective inclusion of smaller clients, as well as dedicated one-to-one tailored training courses for larger single client groups. Our courses, developed over 25 years in delivering on and off-site tuition, ensure clients maximise on their new investment and leverage their advantage to the full. All training is delivered by remote-to-desktop webinar presentation.
Subscriptions
All Visual Precision software comes automatically with a subscription service ensuring your software is kept up-to-date and keeping you ahead of your competition. Our after sales service doesn't stop there however, as with all our system subscriptions you have direct access to our web based Help centre for speedy resolution of all out of hours problems as well as access to product support by telephone, email and our direct-to-desktop remote support system.
Presentations
Web sites are great at many things, as are videos, but they can't replace a one-to-one presentation when you can confidentially ask all the questions import to you and your business and explore the software's abilities tailored in a way important to you. Our webinar 'shows' start the ball rolling, but for all our mission-critical packages a dedicated presentation is available for the asking.
