Flexibility

Whether you're managing a project pipeline of retail location openings, multiple projects running concurrently, or merchandising projects over different time periods, retail/rollout construction projects come with pressing demands. Projectmates provides a single interface to manage various project types. Our software is extremely configurable to meet your unique construction prototypes as well as capture key store information such as region, construction type, and phase.

Templates can be created for different degrees of complexity as well as for each department including new construction, remodels, and minor repair projects. This allows for new projects to automatically be setup appropriately. Additionally, projects can be labeled or flagged by department, type, phase, and delivery method such as hard bid, competitive sealed proposal, design build, etc. For repetitive projects that are similar in scope, Projectmates offers complete project copy functionality based on user access and other security restrictions.

• Supports multiple prototypes
• Configurable to your terminology
• Accessible from tablets and smartphones

Cost Management

Budgets, commitments (contracts and purchase orders), and invoices can be tracked in Projectmates to track costs against REC approved budget amounts. Approval processes can be as simple or complex as your organization needs with financial thresholds determining needs to approve items like change orders and invoices.

Vendors and contractors can enter proposals, bids, and invoices directly into the software, which cuts down on data entry and mistakes. Because Projectmates is web-based, project managers and directors can approve items on the road instead of of waiting until when they're back in the office. This drastically improves approval times, which is a win-win for you and your contractors, consultants, and vendors.
