Stunning new version of ArtiCAD’s BathCAD Software, incorporating new BathQuote product, launches in January 2009

ArtiCAD, announces the launch of the latest version of its bathroom design solution, BathCAD, plus the introduction of a new bathroom quotation solution, BathQuote.

Incorporating a number of major new enhancements, this latest version of BathCAD is designed to make it even easier and faster to design and sell bathrooms, shower rooms and wet rooms.  With the new version of BathCAD, a standard bathroom design can be completed in less than five minutes.

Key to this dramatic increase in speed has been the complete redesign of the graphics catalogue within BathCAD.  All the sanitaryware, taps, showers, tiles, furniture and accessories been recategorised making it much easier for designers to select their chosen item either from a specific manufacturer or from the generic catalogue. 

Theresa Turner, a director of ArtiCAD said:  “Although previous versions of BathCAD included a huge number of products, designers were presented with a long list from which to make their choice.  Now with the recataloguing, they are able to find the items they want to include in their design within seconds. 

“We have also been focusing on recruiting bathroom manufacturers to our rapidly expanding Supplier Partnership programme, which means that designers will have far more choice of graphics from industry-leading brands.”

The latest version of BathCAD also incorporates – at no extra cost – a powerful new pricing and quotation system, BathQuote.  This fast and easy to use new product gives designers immediate access to hundreds of constantly updated suppliers’ pricing files, including those from leading distributors.  The pricing data for BathQuote is powered by easyquote, a leading quotation and management solution provider to the KBB industry. 

BathQuote also includes a customer relationship management (CRM) solution allowing enhanced storage and retrieval of client details plus corresponding design and quotation files.

All existing BathCAD users with a current support plan will automatically benefit from this major system enhancement plus BathQuote, free of charge.
