Invest in Your Future: Attendee Recommends AccuBuild Conference

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Last year, California-based Allen Engineering Contractor, Inc. sent six employees to AccuBuild’s Users’ Group Conference in Las Vegas. In addition to the president of the company and the controller, the company sent four more AccuBuild users.

The event created quite a buzz,” says Tiffany St. George, Contract Administrator at Allen Engineering Contractor. We had a lot to talk about after the conference and we implemented a lot of ideas we learned right away.

The folks at Allen Engineering Construction discovered how to brand their purchase orders and forms, something they didn’t realize they could do in AccuBuild. Tiffany said they started utilizing user defined fields as soon as they could.

Prior to the conference, we needed tools to help us get more organized,” explains Tiffany. “During the classes we discovered those tools and thought, ‘Wow! This is exactly what we were searching for!’ and that was a great feeling.” Tiffany goes on to say that today they are working with Comdata to use the new AccuBuild MasterCard, a topic that was covered at last year’s event.

Sending AccuBuild users to this conference is a must, says Tiffany. “The knowledge you gain is definitely worth the investment. We know how to use all of the features and tools in our system and it has helped us reduce redundancies and human error,” she says. “You can’t put a price tag on that.”

The company began using AccuBuild Construction Software in 2006. Allen Engineering Contractor has about 250 employees and out of those employees, 40 use the AccuBuild system on a regular basis. The company plans to offer the system to more employees in the near future. Six employees, including Tiffany, will be attending the conference this year.
