We decided to move to a “cloud based” program and after doing our research decided on CATProjects. Despite being new to cloud based construction software we have found the process as easy as we could possibly expect, really solidifying our project management requirements. Being able to access the system from multiple avenues, and from any device, anywhere, has so many advantages.
We are noticing a big difference in seamlessly tracking projects from multiple avenues – leads, budgets, tenders, contracting, orders, payments, etc, right through to completion. With several job sites it keeps project specific information at hand for our site managers and other authorised personnel at head office. Site managers can also download various documents which are required on site – insurance certificates, police checks, OHS information, etc. Having everyone being able to track exactly where each project is at any time is a great advantage.
CATProjects makes a huge difference in doing this through all stages by multiple users at any given time. Everyone is aware of where projects are at by being connected to the one system, with all our documents being standardised. There is great support from the CAT team, especially during set up with our questions answered swiftly, and the CATCommunity suggestions and news feed articles via email are a great way to learn more about how we could use CATProjects to our advantage, based on others experiences. Though still in the early stages we can see how much more cost-effective we can be in almost all areas of our construction business. We would highly recommend CATProjects to anyone in the construction industry.
