Maxing Out Profit in Every Project
To be competitive and get ahead, contractors must leverage current technology that’s based on best practices and proven methods of efficient and proactive construction management.
That’s exactly the thinking that brought Maxwell Systems ProContractorMX to the market. It’s an all-in-one software solution that helps contractors properly manage the construction’s complex bid-to-cash cycle by including all applications for takeoff, estimating, job cost accounting, and project management in a single, seamless system.
Using ProContractorMX as their complete solution, contractors achieve real-time data, improved workflow and communication, and ultimately optimal performance and profitability on every job.
Doing More Being Mobile
Understanding that project managers value having convenient access to documents and data, whether at the office, on the road, or at a job site, Maxwell Systems has further advanced the capabilities of ProContractorMX by introducing the first construction project managers’ app (Mobile Connect) for the popular and intuitive mobile device, iPad. These solutions allow contractors to have anytime, anywhere access to important project information (i.e., plans, project budget and billing schedules, resource requirements, required forms, change orders, issues filed and status, and contact information).
With this flexibility, project managers can more easily track progress of projects, be more agile in the field, and better account for all aspects of the job from beginning to end, which helps contractors to more proactively and profitably execute projects.
Turning Change Into Cash
If anything in construction is constant … it’s change. Changes to construction projects are very common and can impact budgets, resources, and billing and may ultimately require modifications to the project budget, contract price, and delivery schedule. Because of these impacts, ProContractorMX allows contractors to identify changes and manage them tightly to ensure they do not adversely affect project profitability and can enable additional work to be performed at higher profit margins.
In fact, change orders are an excellent example of how ProContractorMX and mobile technology can enhance efficiency and effectiveness for contractors. With these two technologies, contractors can easily track and manage change orders in real-time directly from the field – rather than from the office (or from home) at the end of the day, or worse, not issuing or managing them at all. Leveraging ProContractorMX and flexibility of the iPad, contractors are able analyze, identify, estimate, budget, propose, execute, and bill for the variety of changes that occur during project execution. That’s all additional profit!
