dxAPI ( In-House System )

dxAPI measurement technology

Integrate Into Your
In-House System

If your company currently offers an estimating system to your clients which lacks a takeoff component, dxAPI is the perfect product for you. Because dxAPI seamlessly integrates with existing software, a total solution is created, ensuring staff workflow becomes more efficient than ever before.

Here at RIB, we’ve already done the majority of the development for you and you’ll be instantly adding tried and tested technology into your program. Supplied with a DLL that can be simply called from the host application, all data necessary for storing the measurement information is held in the host software database, and the technology is suitable for standalone and networked software applications. It’s never been easier to give your company a real edge in the industry, with a totally unique solution tailored just for you.

As a valued RIB customer you’ll have access to our dedicated development level support team during your integration phase, so you can arrange consultation sessions to fast track integration. Post-integration you’ll have access to dedicated technical and customer support teams. RIB is always listening to customer feedback, ensuring the products you use are evolving in line with the industry and ensuring that we grow together with you.

We provide our integrated dxAPI solution to a number of companies including Rider Levett Bucknall, RHi and Landon Seah.

Leading Measurement Technology

dxAPI allows you to completely integrate our world-leading takeoff technology into your existing package, creating one combined solution for your requirements. Integrating dxAPI into an existing estimation platform creates a seamless solution for the end user. dxAPI can be integrated either as part of a your in-house system, or as part of your existing software solution sold to end-users.
