Reflecting on 2024: Celebrating growth and customer success

As 2024 comes to a close, it's the perfect time to reflect on what we’ve achieved together this year. 

We’ve been inspired by your success stories and we’re proud to support your work by developing tools designed to make your estimating process faster and more accurate than ever before. 

Here's a look at the highlights of 2024 and what you can expect from us in 2025 to help you achieve even more.

Our estimators

These numbers highlight the scale of work our users have achieved, and we’re thrilled to play a part in making estimating more efficient and streamlined, helping you to win more work 💪. 

 “Countfire has helped me realise my potential as an Electrical Estimator. It allows our business to have a one stop shop in relation to takeoffs and estimates.” - Mark, Estimating Manager at IETC Group

“Countfire has been such a useful tool, it has cut my manual takeoff work by half.” - Olivia, Project Manager at ILC Studios

“As great as the software is, the people and their ability to help is what makes Countfire as awesome as it is. The software streamlines the counting process for me and adds another level of service I can pass along to my customers.” - Ben, Quotations Specialist at JTH Lighting

Product releases

We know that for electrical estimators, efficiency and accuracy are everything. That’s why we rolled out several key updates to Countfire this year designed to make your life easier. Here’s just a few of the standout improvements:

• Effortless symbol reclassification: Managing symbols in drawings got smarter! Our new reclassification mode enables users to quickly move matches from one symbol heading to another, making counts more precise than ever before
• Multi factor authentication: We now allow users to sign in with Google or Microsoft accounts and turn on 2FA. This feature ensures that users accessing the account are authenticated individuals and keeps projects and confidential information even more secure
• Multipage PDF update: Your PDF prayers have been answered! We streamlined the process of uploading your PDFs, allowing you to easily select only the specific pages you need
• Selections 2.0: Automatically count symbols in 90 degree rotations, and detect floating references in any position

The Countfire team grew!

This year, we welcomed several new faces to the Countfire team as we continue to grow and deliver the best possible experience for our users. Meet the newest team members: 

• Linden, our Head of Growth
• Software Developers, Daniel, Sarah and David
• KJ, in our brand new Operations Assistant role
