About The Customer
Leander Construction, Inc. is a Midwestern based provider of civil construction services, primarily for water treatment and wastewater plants. The company is committed to continuous improvement, placing great emphasis on accountability, innovation, and integrity. Leander Construction has established itself as a key player in the construction industry, particularly in the niche of water treatment and wastewater plant construction. The company prides itself on its ability to deliver high-quality projects while maintaining a strong focus on customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. With a dedicated team of professionals, Leander Construction is known for its innovative approach to project management and its commitment to leveraging technology to enhance its service offerings.
The Challenge
The coordination of project teams and construction processes imposed a heavy administrative burden on Leander’s project managers. Keeping track of Submittals, RFI correspondence and documents required manual data entry and double handling which created risk of error and delay. In addition, collaboration between the extended project team of owners, engineers, and subcontractors was hindered by a lack of visibility. Without the ability to ‘self-serve’, extra layers of communication were needed to issue tasks, alert to looming deadlines and keep project team members aligned.
The Solution
Leander sought to replace manual processes, a non-construction cloud storage solution, and email as the medium of document exchange, with collaborative project management software. An evaluation of competing software was undertaken, and Viewpoint Team was selected for its ease-of-use, project management roadmap, and its direct integration with Vista, Viewpoint’s accounting ERP. Viewpoint Team automated and streamlined project management. Where Leander used to key data into a Submittals register and had to manually update each Submittals’ state as it moved through the workflow, subcontractors and suppliers can now log in from the internet and see all project tasks assigned to them. Once inside, they can add the required information and advance the workflow themselves. Email, except in the case of alert notifications, has been confined to a bare minimum. The project management team previously played middleman, trading emailed RFIs between upstream and downstream partners, and were forced to send hundreds of emails to alert team members of tasks both new and overdue. Today, Viewpoint Team has transformed Leander’s communication and collaboration processes, delivering speed and complete visibility into ball-in-court.
