FOUNDATION® For Windows® Adds
Project Management & Scheduling to Its
Popular Construction Accounting System
"Staying on top of every aspect of your job—from costs to detailed documentation—requires more than just organization," says Fred Ode, Chairman and CEO of Foundation Software Inc. "Our latest version of FOUNDATION for Windows provides the seamless integration that contractors want and need, bringing together both the financial and project management sides of the business. This powerful alignment of office and field maximizes efficiency and control at all levels."
Never Miss Deadlines Again
"FOUNDATION's project management module gives contractors access to job documentation instantly," says Ode. "It allows everyone within the company to remain informed of critical and timely communications so that they can stay on task and on budget."
"With FOUNDATION's document creation, tracking and reporting mechanisms, contractors can generate and manage everything from submittals and transmittals to RFPs and RFIs," Ode points out. "Users can track documentation issued by other project team members and link related documents, creating a complete audit trail of communication between project participants."
FOUNDATION further simplifies job management with robust control functionality. A "Quick Copy" feature lets users copy the setup of one document to create a new one—an entire submittal package, for example—saving time and eliminating duplicate data entry. The system also allows contractors to easily create and define their own field logs, meeting types, punch list activities and other important project documentation.
Know the Exact Status of a Job...at a Glance
"Crucial to the success of any construction project is the ability to create an accurate schedule that is easy to use, and modify," Ode notes. "FOUNDATION's scheduling module features simple-to-read bar and line Gantt charts that illustrate the scheduled dates and sequence of tasks for each project."
"This valuable new project management tool helps contractors quickly identify the status of a job at any point in time so they may allocate resources to various tasks or change their assignments to resolve over- or under-allocations," Ode says. "Key elements include complete calendar customization and the predecessor/successor relationship capability, which ensure that all work is performed and completed within the proper sequence."
"With the release of our new modules for project management and scheduling, FOUNDATION brings it all together," Ode says. "With these enhancements to our already powerful FOUNDATION for Windows accounting system, we are helping contractors control job costs, reduce inefficiencies and gain access to accurate job data both in the field and in the office."
