AccuBuild Introduces Integrated Project Management Solution for its AccuBuild Construction Software


AccuBuild

Austin, TX - AccuBuild has released its 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 ideal 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 enhances 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.
