FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Version 2.0 of ControlBoard® software increases construction scheduling productivity.

Wilton, CT (June 9, 2005) –  Congistics Corporation introduces ControlBoard version 2.0 – the only complete scheduling, resource and dispatch software tool for the commercial construction industry.

ControlBoard’s intuitive spreadsheet-style interface and drag-and-drop features allow owners, project managers and dispatchers to see jobs, crews, equipment and schedules at a glance and change them in seconds. Version 2.0 adds a fully interactive calendar view, enhanced printing and emailing options, one-click access to location history for any resource, simplified conflict notification, dynamic crew handling, and more.

ControlBoard is effective for a sole proprietor, and equally effective when shared by many users in a company. Its underlying “intelligent database” engine automatically updates all information across the organization in real time, so everyone is aware of changes instantly.

ControlBoard was engineered to handle the constant changes to a construction schedule with the ease of use of a whiteboard or spreadsheet. A simple change like shifting a crew from one job to another involves crew member changes and expected equipment changes. Resources need to be checked for scheduling conflicts. Everyone concerned needs to be notified. ControlBoard keeps it all in sync

 “A construction industry dispatcher is like an air traffic controller: he has to communicate constantly changing schedule information to crew foremen, equipment truck drivers and project managers,” explains Mark Sullivan, president of Congistics Corporation. “ControlBoard makes each workday run more smoothly – and more profitably.”

Congistics’ technology team has built ControlBoard specifically for the commercial construction industry. It has been extensively tested with industry leaders and has been shown to improve company productivity by as much as 10% -- an enormous amount, given the industry’s low profit margins.

“It's a simple solution to a complicated problem – it’s the most efficient way to allocate our resources,” says Mario Smith, president of Waters Construction, Inc. and a ControlBoard customer. “ControlBoard allows me to move equipment, track rentals, track services, allocate crews, and plan our workload all in one solution.”
