Purpose
The ArcSite integration allows companies using ArcSite for creating drawings and generating signable proposals to import data directly into TRUE, continuing the life cycle of the job. This integration enables creating a Quote in TRUE, automatically generating a Project in ArcSite, and pushing all relevant billable line items and drawing images for immediate use in TRUE.
