Project management is already a complex task, but it is often further complicated by multiple systems that have no relation to each other. While using dedicated systems makes sense in many industries whose main focus is customer contact or accounting or scheduling, the construction industry is unique in that these tasks are all an equally important – and time-consuming – part of business. In order to meet the specific needs of construction companies, especially small and medium-sized businesses, PrioSoft developed Contractor’s Office. This construction software recognizes the many aspects of project management and the need for integration between them.
Consider the fact that the client is usually the central component of any project. Traditional approaches often require you to enter the client’s details for each aspect of the project – once on an estimate, again on a work order, or an invoice. Not only is this inefficient, it leaves a lot of room for error and discrepancy. The centralized design of Contractor’s Office construction software enables you to enter the information once, and use the same information across the board. Data is instantly synchronized, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
Another key concern in construction software is dependency tracking. Almost every aspect of a construction project is dependent on another aspect, and any changes or adjustments can have a cascading effect. This is especially important when it comes to job scheduling – moving the date of one task back often has the effect of changing the entire timeline; without a clear picture of how a change affects workflow, deadlines could be jeopardized. This is costly both in terms of money and in your company’s reputation. Contractor’s Office includes comprehensive dependency tracking so that you can instantly see how your changes affect not only the project concerned, but your overall workflow.
You’ll also be able to see who is affected by these changes, enabling you to notify subcontractors, equipment suppliers and your own crew. Additionally, you’ll have access to a full audit trail, making it easy for you to identify who made changes, what they changed, and why. In the event that any scheduling snags do arise, you can address them promptly to prevent them from occurring again.
Contractor’s Office is a comprehensive solution specifically designed to provide construction offices with a powerful and flexible management system. You can customize the software to meet your specific needs, whether you are a painter, a plumber, or a general contractor. If you’re tired of juggling your operations between multiple programs, or need a solution that is intuitive and easy to use, try the Contractor’s Office construction software for 30 days. You’ll quickly discover the benefits of a centralized, integrated solution that was designed for your exact needs. |
