LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- BuilderMT, the nation's leading provider of production management software for residential home builders, today announced that it has inked an exclusive deal with AVID Ratings to integrate and co-market their systems and services. BuilderMT and AVID Ratings will now work together to co-market each others services to their builder customers, an extraordinary list that contains a who's who of America's top-performing and most-admired builders.

BuilderMT and AVID Ratings also agreed to integrate their systems so that AVID Ratings powerful survey tools can use data directly from BuilderMT. Builders using BuilderMT and AVID will be able to populate their customer satisfaction surveys through direct access to a single source of highly detailed and authoritative data contained within BuilderMT. The integration of BuilderMT and AVID will supercharge the customer satisfaction survey process with a level of ease, automation, and precision that is otherwise unavailable to today's builders.

Avid Ratings is widely seen as the national leader in customer satisfaction surveys and customer loyalty management. BuilderMT is the acknowledged leader in production management solutions; the Company is the nation's best-selling, most-award-winning builder software solution. BuilderMT builders construct 20% of the nation's new homes.

AVID Ratings' powerful survey tools offer enterprise-level customer loyalty management that brings a level of sophistication and ease to the customer survey process. With AVID Ratings, builders can use house-specific data to survey customer satisfaction at extremely granular levels, such as by floor plan, or even by employee.
