The construction industry has specialized nomenclature and processes not generally incorporated in standard enterprise systems. Construction professionals have to handle numerous unique challenges including managing union contracts, job costing, changing job specifications and the arduous paperwork trail required by project managers and clients.
For many years, Comp Three has been the primary supplier of I.T. Services to Therma Corporation, the largest San Francisco Bay Area union contractor. To help manage Therma’s myriad needs, Comp Three developed an enterprise job cost and accounting system which includes industry specific activities such as:
- Labor and material tracking to the line-item level
- Union and non-union payroll
- Pre-lien documentation
- Customer invoices formatted for T&M or NTE detailed billings or summarized contract billings
- Timely job cost data, summarized, grouped by trade, or detail level
- Over/under billing analysis
- Job costs grouped at project-level
- Vendor payment by job, invoice-date, schedule-date, due-date
- Extensive collections documentation and write off tracking
Comp Three also developed True-Trac, a software package designed to electronically organize and store the massive paperwork trail characteristic of construction projects. This system was developed in collaboration with Scott Company, a large general contractor, and Therma Corporation. We designed the system to manage RFIs, submittals and responses, transmittals, job change orders and related pricing changes, purchase orders, heat and lot receipts and inspections through a central database.
Other network documents such as blueprints or product specifications may be linked as well. The tracking methodology we used conforms to the rigorous document tracking standards required by FDA validated jobs. Because we developed the system with distributed internet database capability, paperwork can be viewed on the job site and from the home office concurrently.
With over 20 years of construction industry experience, Comp Three can help with all your construction software needs.
