"TRA-SER Premier represents a giant step forward for our customers," states Tod Moore, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "The drill down search methodology is based on a very accurate and sophisticated product categorization scheme. Finding the right product and price is significantly easier and faster than it used to be," says Moore. "Also, there is no more waiting to get CD updates in the mail. Updates are pulled down in minutes from the Internet and you can even automatically schedule when you want to receive them."

TRA-SER Premier retains many of the product line’s traditional capabilities, such as instantaneous item look-up, access to product cross-references, and the all-important seamless linking to the contractor’s estimating and accounting software. All major software vendors have integrated with TRA-SER Premier so their clients can keep their estimating, accounting, and project management databases up-to-date with the latest product and pricing information.

Additional new features include long product descriptions, full-color images, manufacturer catalog pages, links to Quickbooks® accounting program and the NetPricer® Service Module for instant on-line price quotes from suppliers.
