Costrac

Cloud Edition

Costrac – Cloud Edition

This edition allows you to use Costrac without investing in your own hardware and licence.  This is suitable for shorter projects and less complex scenarios.  The software is totally hosted in the cloud and is available on demand.

When you purchase a Server Edition our team can export your data from the cloud for uploading to your on-premise database.

Licensing model

Costrac Cloud Edition is available as an initial setup cost and a monthly subscription.  You can run the cloud version with a single user or multiple users.  Your database is hosted in the cloud and you can only access your data through the application.

There is no annual software maintenance fee and PACE will maintain the server on your behalf.  The monthly fee includes telephonic and e-mail support.

Each module is licenced separately as follows:

  1. Core module (required)
  2. Estimating module
  3. Earned Value module
  4. Procurement module
  5. Work requests and timesheets
