Collaboration

Collaboration is essential in larger projects. With Togo, you can have multiple estimators working together at the same time, even on the same plan. You can work in separate views, invite your team, and set their different permissions. You can combine all the takeoffs on top of each other to see where you're at as a whole.

Togo GPT

Before you start doing your takeoff, you want to understand the project. Togo GPT can help you quickly understand the project and determine if it's worth pursuing. Togo GPT is chat GPT4 built into Togo. It extracts all the text from any of the documents you've uploaded, such as plans, specs, and contracts.
