Every business is trying to save money, but no industry knows that better than the construction industry. They have felt it the most during this rough economic time. As a result they are looking for new ways to not only save money, but become more efficient.

To receive bids from their sub-contractors most of them mail printed plans or burn CD/DVDs. Both of these methods can be very costly. One SmartFile customer estimates the that her time, the CD and the postage can cost between $5 and $7 a CD. With as many as 300 subs on one job so it becomes expensive. Also, because subs are mobile they have a tendency to misplace the disc, which not only cost more money, but it also slows the process down.

With the File-2-Email feature she can email her subs a link for them to download the all of the files quickly. This has proven to be a very efficient process and has saved them countless hours on burning disc.
