ATLANTA (June 1, 1999) - Construction Data Control, Inc. (CDC I), the nation's leading designer and developer of construction management software, is proud to introduce Job2Date, an exciting new tool that allows builders to harness the power and convenience of the Internet to manage their business and communicate with their customers. Job2Date is a web-enabled data management system that makes it easy to organize, store, update and retrieve project information on a job-by-job basis, from floor plans to purchase orders and cost reports. This cost information is uploaded nightly to a database on CDCI's secure server, providing on-demand reporting and encrypted selective access for customers, subcontractors and other authorized individuals. Job2Date provides builders with documentation of every step of the construction process, including cost variances, requested actions or changes, and any correspondence they have with their homebuyer. Should a dispute arise, the builder can readily refer to the job information stored on the server to support his position or claim. And by giving consumers the ability to track the progress of their new home, builders can make their buyers more aware of their responsibilities during the construction process. "With Job2Date, builders can empower their homebuyers, employees and subcontractors to directly access the information they need to make decisions during the construction process, 'explains John Geoffroy, president of CDCI. "So builders can spend less time responding to requests for construction and cost updates and more time managing their company." Unlike other data management software, Job2Date's revolutionary design offers builders the unique capability to generate real-time reports on demand from wherever they happen to be. By consolidating all the relevant data about a job and providing instant access on-line, Job2Date lets a builder use Internet technology to streamline their business operations, improve their level of customer service, and increase their company's sales. By posting the information on CDCI's secure central server, builders can use Job2Date to provide a homebuyer with a series of wall color options or share a purchase order with their superintendent. Authorized users can access construction updates, view site photos and make inquiries via internet postings. Financial documents can be modified and shared with a lender by simply posting them online. And subcontractors can view the latest construction specifications and production schedules as soon as they are available. "By putting cutting-edge technology right at their fingertips, Job2Date allows small- and mid-volume builders to enjoy many of the competitive service advantages of their larger competitors," says Geoffroy. "Consequently, this software will enable builders of all sizes to enhance their company image and increase their profitability." Job2Date will revolutionize the way builders manage their business and communicate with their customers, suppliers and contractors. It can dramatically reduce the number of phone calls, voice messages and faxes that builders receive and help them consolidate all job documentation and inquiries in a central location that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via the Internet. |
