Interfaces

The InEight cloud platform has multiple options for synchronizing information from one platform to another. This gives you many options to utilize data efficiently between various programs, saving you time and resources.

After the initial import from Estimate, you can use the Push and Get actions to integrate directly with Control. You can use Push actions to send the CBS structure, budget, live forecast, actual quantity, pay item, billed revenue, or forecast revenue from your job. You can use the Get actions to bring in quantities, actual cost, man-hours, and billed revenue from other Platform and external applications.

The table below shows you the high-level functions of platforms to help you better understand how the actions interrelate.
