The AVAIL Difference
Not all AEC content management systems are alike. Here are eight ways AVAIL edges out its competition and renews with our loyal customer base of top AEC firms year after year.
1. Our Search Works
This seems obvious for a CMS, but we hear from customers this isn’t the case for other CMS solutions on the market. AVAIL’s BIM software solution is developed to help users find the information they need faster, and we are dedicated to that goal by continuing to dream up new, innovative features like our AI custom chatbot initiative.
2. It’s Easy to Teach AVAIL to New Hires
Visuals are very important to us at AVAIL. We hear over and over again how easy administrators find it to train new hires on our user-friendly, intuitive platform. “When I’m doing orientations for new people, it’s a two-second conversation,” says Jason Detwiler, Architectural Designer at AVAIL customer SMMA. Managers only need to show new hires how to open AVAIL and drag and drop the component into Revit or another software platform. It’s that simple!
3. Users Use AVAIL
New customers are often shocked by how quickly their utilization metrics increase from past CMS platforms. With plugins such as Project Navigator for Revit, AVAIL quickly becomes a part of users’ daily workflows.
4. We Are Constantly Improving to Meet Customer Needs
AVAIL boasts an in-house development team led by the CEO and Founder that publishes new updates to the software and adds new features on a regular basis. Additionally, our roadmap is largely driven by customer feedback. In fact, that’s what led to our new workflow tool Palettes.
5. We’re Here to Train and Answer Questions
Our dedicated success and support teams are also in-house working from our Lexington, Kentucky office. They collaborate closely with development to bring customer feedback and requests directly to the team driving the innovation of our product.
6. AVAIL is Customizable
Every firm is different, that’s why we built AVAIL to make it easy for administrators to create an interface and system of tags and filters that make the most sense for your firm’s needs and culture.
7. AVAIL for Revit Saves Designers and BIM Managers Time
Our suite of Revit plugins and tools help drive user utilization across firms and make it easy for BIM managers to keep Revit content from projects updated, ready-to-use, and easy-to-find for future projects. Discover our best Revit add-ins and features.
8. But We’re Not Just for Revit
Even though we offer robust Revit integrations, we call ourselves “content agnostic” because we support a broad range of file types from AutoCAD to Rhino, SketchUp, and more!
