2786 (Los Angeles) offers the Uphotomeasure software tool via software as a service (SaaS). The company says the software makes it possible to measure objects photographed with a digital camera. The program, formerly called iPhotoMeasure, is available for a single use and through monthly or annual subscriptions. Its measuring services can save site trips due to forgotten dimensions and color matching. The SaaS version provides the same functionality as the software available for purchase, including photo-data storage and the ability to email information to subcontractors, supply houses or other entities involved in a project.

The SaaS version, developed with Corent Technology Inc. (Aliso Viejo, CA), will also be available at such home-improvement websites as www.hometips.com, www.builderbooks.com, www.allremodel.com, www.craftsman-book.com and www.benjaminmoore.com.
