BuildTopia to Unveil BTBuilder™ v5.4 with Greater Reporting Capabilities and Real-time PDA Access at the 2006 International Builders' Show, Booth W4349
With the creation of On-Demand Reporting™, BuildTopia users can easily create and store complex management reports, while BTMobile™ allows customers with PDA availability access to real-time information in the field.
Potomac, MD (PRWEB) December 29, 2005 -- BuildTopia, Inc., the industry’s leading provider of web-based, on-demand residential construction management applications, will unveil its latest release of its next-generation BTBuilder™ software at the 2006 International Builders’ Show, booth W4349. BTBuilder v5.4 now includes On-Demand Reporting™, a proprietary reporting solution that allows quick and easy creation of business management information, and BTMobile™ which provides wireless access to BTBuilder’s vital functions for in-the-field personnel.
On-Demand Reporting was developed to enhance the reporting function currently offered to BuildTopia users. On-Demand Reporting is simple to use – with the help of a “wizard” you select an area of your building business for which to generate a report, data fields to report on, whether to summarize and group your data, and how to filter and export it. In a quick and organized fashion, you’ve immediately created richly formatted spreadsheets at the touch of a button. The results are management reports that save valuable company time by gathering and distributing vital information to make BuildTopia’s customers more profitable and competitive.
There are over 40 powerful management reports that come pre-packaged with On-Demand Reporting. For example: Projected Lot Profitability Report -- summarizes the cost, price and margin for the base house and options on a specific lot; Option Margin Report -- details price, cost and margin for all options offered in a project; Defect Analysis -- provides details on construction defects reported, number of occurrences, defect detail, source, and average time to resolve. On-Demand Reporting is available now to all current BuildTopia customers and was developed by a team of in-house software experts.
“You know the saying ‘information is power?’ Our new On-Demand Reporting delivers. These new reports and tools provide BuildTopia customers powerful, compelling information about their business, helping them make decisions from cost cutting to discovering profitable options that should be exploited. In a highly competitive building market, these reports will ensure builders are operating as efficiently as possible,” explains Beau Engman, CEO of BuildTopia, Inc.
BTMobile brings in-house access and functionality to the palm of your hand. With BTMobile, field personnel can access critical data in real-time on smartphones while working out on the site. BTMobile allows users to view option selections and change orders, adjust construction schedules, approve or reassign purchase orders, and follow-up with trade partners to reduce mistakes while finishing the job on time.
BTMobile is exclusive to BuildTopia and was designed to work on a selected group of PDAs and PDA-phones, such as BlackBerry or Treō. The service is available now with the BTBuilder product.
