P H Warr plc, a leading provider of tailored Property and
Construction Surveying and Health and Safety Services, has selected
IRIS PROJECTminder (www.iris.co.uk) 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.”
