SOLUTION
Leander sought to replace manual processes, a non-construction cloud storage
solution, and email as the medium of document exchange, with collaborative
project management software. An evaluation of competing software was
undertaken. Viewpoint Team, an ERP integrated project management solution on
the ViewpointOne platform, was selected for its ease-of-use, project management
roadmap and its direct integration with Vista, Viewpoint's accounting ERP.
Viewpoint Team automated and streamlined project management. Where Leander
used to key data into a Submittals register and had to manually update each
Submittals' state as it moved through the workflow, subcontractors and suppliers
can now log in from the internet and see all project tasks assigned to them. Once
inside, they can add the required information and advance the workflow themselves.
Email, except in the case of alert notifications, has been confined to a bare
minimum. The project management team previously played middleman, trading
emailed RFIs between upstream and downstream partners, and were forced to
send hundreds of emails to alert team members of tasks both new and overdue.
Today, Viewpoint Team has transformed Leander's communication and collaboration
processes, delivering speed and complete visibility into ball-in-court.
Superintendents enter information into Daily Logs on a mobile device from the
jobsite. Project Managers review information daily and are easily able to identify
missing logs or required information that was not submitted such as safety
documentation. The back office is able to verify certificates of insurance and
make accommodations for certified payroll.
I glance at the job billing report and as long as it's
green, I'm good.
