A Look Back at simPRO Takeoffs Beta

Written by Modus Operandi

Last October, simPRO just released its Takeoffs add-on to the public for free as a beta version. This means until the beta ends on 31 December 2021, you’ll be able to enjoy all the new features -- free of charge! This beta version is the accumulation of countless of coding hours, releases, updates, and improvements to give you an all-in-one software and estimate like a PRO.

In this blog, we will list what simPRO thinks is the most notable feature of simPRO Takeoffs.
