AccuBuild Introduces Integrated Project Management Solution for Existing Construction Software

Offers robust functionality and the creation of a single searchable database for all project-related documentation

 

AUSTIN, TX – September 4, 2007 – AccuBuild announced today the release of its highly-anticipated Project Management module as a fully integrated component of its AccuBuild Construction Software system. The module delivers full-featured project management functionality with built-in workflow and document management capabilities.

AccuBuild Project Management allows users to manage all of the documentation associated with jobs from a single, easy-to-view screen that can be sorted by any field. Task management is simplified with at-a-glance access to tasks that are due, overdue or require follow-up. In addition, an advanced, Google-like search function allows users to search all logs by keyword for fast retrieval of desired information.

 

Document Management and Control

The customizable forms within Project Management make it easy to create Requests for Information (RFIs), Change Order Requests (CORs), Change Orders (COs), Submittals, Transmittals, Fax Coversheets, Business Letters, Daily Field Reports, Meeting Minutes logs and Closeout reports. What’s more, each customized form can copied and modified as needed and quickly assigned to clients, vendors, architects, jobs or project managers.

 

What makes AccuBuild’s Project Management system stand out from other similar solutions is its integration with the AccuBuild Document Management System (ADMS). With ADMS, users can attach files, e-mail correspondence and scanned documents directly to log entries such as RFIs, Submittals and Daily Field Reports. The integration with ADMS revolutionizes project management by creating a single, searchable database for all project-related documentation.

 

Integration with Accounting

Integration of Project Management with the AccuBuild accounting modules provides a seamless exchange of data that streamlines workflow, eliminates duplicate data entry and decreases the chance of human error. For example, change orders approved in Project Management automatically flow to Accounts Receivable for billing while simultaneously updating related subcontracts. 

 

“After a significant amount of research, engineering and testing, we’re excited to deliver a robust Project Management solution that will help our clients protect job profitability,” said Josh Stearns, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “Not only does AccuBuild Project Management create forms and track documentation, it unites accounting and operations by putting everyone in the organization on the same page regarding job status.”

 

Like its accounting and document management counterparts, AccuBuild’s Project Management module is easy to learn and intuitive to use. A variety of training options are available to ensure that clients quickly benefit from all that the module has to offer.
