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.”
