P H Warr plc, a leading provider of tailored Property and Construction Surveying and Health and Safety Services, has selected IRIS PROJECTminder as its system of choice to provide effective project management across a network of offices throughout Southern England.
Paula Warburton, Financial Director, explained why PROJECTminder has been chosen. She said: “We sell time and it is essential that we keep track of every minute so we can ensure all aspects of a project are being charged and billed. The system will enable us to take a ‘holistic’ view of our business and provide us with vital management information so that each and every stage of a project is controlled, from the planning stage through to the costing, and right from initial bid to the final invoice.”
Because the PROJECTminder system captures time against work stages accurately, it can provide warnings if too much time is being spent on a job or on a particular stage of a project.
Paula continued: “When we first saw the system, we realised that it was exactly what we had in mind.”
One of the aspects of IRIS PROJECTminder that appeals to Quantity and Building Surveyors such as P H Warr lies in the fact that the Web based software removes geographical boundaries. In practice, this means that any member of the sixty strong P H Warr team can log in and enter data into the system even if they are on site: the only proviso being an Internet connection.
The delivery of the PROJECTminder system via the Web provides a level of hardware resilience way beyond the capabilities of most found in-house. Because set up time is minimal, it delivers a quicker ROI and practices can be up and running within a day. There are no complicated upgrades as enhancements are updated automatically over the web.
Andrew Heath, Sales Director of IRIS PROJECTminder commented: “IRIS PROJECTminder is a proven business efficiency tool that answers many of the challenges being faced by project centric businesses in an increasingly mobile world and we are delighted that P H Warr is implementing it throughout its network of offices.”
