Appia
Appia is a web application designed for capital improvement and construction programs in cities, counties and international agencies.
Appia effectively manages project cost estimation, proposal development, advertising, electronic/Internet bidding and/or construction management. By providing these vital processes in a web environment, Appia offers a flexible and complete solution to local agencies. It is a tool that assists all of the participants in a road construction project, from field inspectors to public works directors, allowing for increased communication and collaboration, and improved reporting and oversight. As budgets shrink, staff size decreases and the demand for roadways grows, Appia helps agencies build roadways more quickly and safely for the citizens they serve.
Appia is the only application that interfaces with Bid Express® for sealed, secure on-line bidding. More than 3,000 contractors in the US and Canada use Bid Express for Internet bidding. Agencies that implement Bid Express will see the value of their investment increase dramatically when Appia is also installed.
Agencies may elect to implement some or all of the functionality within Appia. Estimation, bid management & analysis, electronic and Internet bidding, and construction management may be selected in any combination to meet your agency’s needs.
Appia is named for the Appian Way, the first and most famous road built by the ancient Romans. At more than 350 miles long, the road was vital to commerce, since it was the main route to Greece; it was hailed "the queen of long distance roads." Today's roads and highways are just as vital to society. Appia allows agencies to focus on the progress, rather than the process, of road and bridge building.
