ExeVision FAQ
Q: What is the focus of ExeVision's Business?
A: ExeVision focuses on providing state transportation agencies with a robust, integrated, and easy to use project development solution for road and bridge construction. ExeVision began developing transportation solutions in 1997 with the objective of producing a more integrated, less resource intensive project development solution than was currently available.
Q: What is the focus of ExeVision's business?
A: ExeVision specializes in delivering software solutions for transportation agencies responsible for road and highway construction. Our core focus is providing state and local government agencies with an integrated, user-friendly platform that supports the full lifecycle of project development—from estimation and bidding to construction management, materials tracking, and compliance oversight.
​
Since 1997, ExeVision has worked closely with public agencies to reduce the complexity and resource demands of project delivery. Our iPDWeb platform is designed specifically for transportation infrastructure, offering modular tools that can be tailored to an agency’s business processes and scaled over time.
​
In addition to serving state departments of transportation, ExeVision offers a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution tailored to counties and municipalities. This multi-tenant version provides smaller agencies with affordable access to powerful construction management capabilities, including project tracking, pay estimates, change orders, and materials oversight—all without the burden of maintaining their own IT infrastructure.
Q: What is the iPDWeb Solution
A: The iPDWeb (Integrated Project Development) solution is a comprehensive platform designed specifically for managing transportation infrastructure projects. It brings together all critical components of project development into a single, integrated environment—supporting the full lifecycle of road and highway construction projects, from initial estimates through final contractor payment.
​
iPDWeb includes modules for cost estimating, electronic bidding, construction management, materials management/LIMS, and civil rights compliance. These core functions are supported by centralized reporting tools and seamless communication with contractors through ExeVision’s iCXWeb portal.
​
Whether managing a single project or overseeing a statewide program, iPDWeb gives transportation agencies a unified system that improves efficiency, ensures data consistency, and supports informed decision-making across all phases of project delivery.
Q: Is iPD a Web application?
A: Yes. iPD was completely re-architected as a native web application and renamed iPDWeb™ to reflect that evolution. It is accessed entirely through a web browser—no local installations or plugins are required. This allows agencies to take advantage of centralized updates, secure access from multiple locations, and easier IT management, all while supporting a modern, responsive user experience.
Q: What is the significance of "integrated" in the iPD name?
A: The “integrated” in iPDWeb reflects its design as a unified solution that brings together all core functions needed to manage transportation construction projects—such as estimating, bidding, construction management, materials testing, and compliance—within a single platform. Unlike systems made up of loosely connected modules or third-party tools, iPDWeb eliminates the need for multiple data entry points or import/export processes between systems, significantly reducing administrative effort and improving data consistency.
​
In addition, for state DOTs and other large agencies, “integrated” also refers to the ability to connect iPDWeb with existing legacy systems. ExeVision works closely with each agency to tailor the implementation, ensuring smooth interoperability with internal platforms like financial systems, GIS, or document management solutions.
​
While iPDWeb is designed as a fully integrated environment, its subsystems—such as construction management or materials management—can also be deployed independently, based on an agency’s specific needs.
Q: What portions of the DOT project planning and management processes are included in the ExeVision solutions?

Q: What is iCXWeb?
A: iCXWeb is a web-based application that supports contractor interaction with transportation agencies throughout the full project lifecycle—from bid submission to post-award construction activities.
​
During the bidding phase, iCXWeb allows contractors to prepare and submit electronic bids efficiently, eliminating the need for manual uploads, file transfers, and duplicate data entry. The system guides users through all required steps, including entering bid item prices, acknowledging addenda, submitting certifications and financial documents, and—when required—providing electronic bid bonds and digital certificate validation.
​
Once a bid is awarded, iCXWeb continues to support contractor-agency collaboration during construction. Contractors can log in to view project progress as recorded in the agency’s iPDWeb system, helping to enhance transparency and reduce miscommunication. Within the application, contractors can review and respond to pay estimates, participate in change order approvals, and submit and track subcontractor payments. All subcontractor activity remains visible to the agency, supporting compliance tracking and prompt payment monitoring.
​
iCXWeb improves the flow of information between contractors and agencies, reducing administrative burden and supporting more efficient, accountable project delivery.
Q: What are the benefits to the Agency of ExeVision and ExeVision solutions?
A: ExeVision’s iPDWeb and iCXWeb solutions help agencies manage the complexity of road and highway construction projects by centralizing data, reducing manual effort, and streamlining collaboration with contractors. These systems are fully hosted and managed by ExeVision in a secure Microsoft Azure environment, which offers built-in scalability, resilience, and business continuity features. Azure's compliance with a wide range of public-sector certifications ensures agencies meet strict security and data protection standards without having to manage infrastructure themselves.
​
ExeVision solutions are delivered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), removing the need for agencies to invest in hardware or manage software updates. Current customer data shows that time spent on bid openings has been reduced by up to 95% thanks to the efficiency gains delivered by iCXWeb, which simplifies contractor bid submission and reduces non-responsive bids.
​
The iPDWeb platform eliminates the need for data re-entry and file transfers between systems. It integrates estimating, bidding, construction management, materials tracking, and civil rights compliance into a single environment, improving accuracy and consistency throughout the project lifecycle.
​
For state DOTs, iPDWeb and iCXWeb are fully configurable. ExeVision works closely with agencies to tailor functionality to their specific business processes. Code updates are only applied when authorized, eliminating unnecessary disruptions and giving agencies control over their system evolution. Civil Rights and compliance reports can be generated in seconds, and ad hoc reports provide instant access to key data without requiring technical support.
​
For counties and municipalities, ExeVision offers the same solution on a subscription basis, with no long-term contracts. Pricing is structured to fit local government budgets, and implementation typically takes just 1–2 months. Despite the smaller scale, local agencies benefit from the same secure, hosted infrastructure and core functionality used by larger DOTs.
Q: Since iPDWeb and iCXWeb are designed and developed as a fully integrated solution, does an agency have to purchase and install the entire application?
A: No. While iPDWeb was designed as a fully integrated project development solution, it was intentionally built as a modular system. Agencies can implement the complete suite or choose only the subsystems that address their specific needs. Most agencies begin with one or more iPDWeb or iCXWeb modules—such as construction management, materials management, or electronic bidding—and integrate them with their existing systems. This approach allows agencies to fill functional gaps without overhauling their entire IT environment, and to scale adoption over time based on budget, priorities, or internal capacity.
