VIEWPOINT.com | +1 800.333.3197 Simplifying Project Management "The binder functionality of ProContractor might be the most powerful part of the entire system, because you don't have to have a separate system to store and manage your documents," stated Simons. "You can scan and save electronic documents to all the different binders in the system and they are all right at your fingertips when you need them. You no longer need to open your accounting system to find an invoice and then open your document management system to view a hard copy of the invoice that might have notations about who approved it or edits made to it. Eliminating that chore of going to two different systems, opening and closing separate programs and screens, has been very helpful." Capturing all the Changes Managing change orders can be a challenging task for a construction company, but ProContractor is able to efficiently handle the workflow from potential change orders to change order requests, helping Magleby avoid costly mistakes. "Managing change orders in ProContractor has helped us keep our customers informed about where they are financially on their projects. By having all the details in reports for the customer, they see pending change orders and approved change orders, and can see how the changes are affecting the bottom line of their project as it progresses, rather than being surprised down the road." More Easily Managing Subcontractors In the past, Magleby managed their subcontractors with a manual process. Now, every subcontract is created in ProContractor and they are able to more easily manage pricing, scope of work, terms and conditions, insurance, and more. They are now alerted if a subcontractor is not up-to-date on their insurance, for example, and can hold payments until they have the proper insurance. "We implemented a policy to send reminder letters notifying our subcontractors that their insurance is expiring in 30 days and requesting an updated copy. It has reduced our workload a ton because we don't have to chase down the insurance. With ProContractor we are much more efficient and more easily manage our subcontractors." If you can't see your costs and details, it's money leaking out of your business, unseen, every day. – J. Bradley Simons, Chief Financial Officer, Magleby Construction
