Capitalize on This Growth Market with Our CMIS

Construction companies need excellent CMIS software to compete

The future is looking bright for construction contractors, with the Construction Industry Confidence Index up 3 points over last quarter to a record rating of 72. More activity in the industry means more projects and more jobs for companies like yours. However, just because there are more projects to go around doesn’t mean you can just sit back and wait for them to come to you. You need to be proactive in seeking out and winning new opportunities, as well as efficient and effective in managing the jobs you may already have. Fortunately, this process gets a whole lot easier when you have a quality construction management software suite at your disposal. ECL’s CMIS puts all the tools you need to be successful in the management and administration of a project at your fingertips.

Manage Contacts & Build Relationships

Our single-entry system makes it easy to manage contact information for all your leads, clients, suppliers, and subcontractors and ensure that up-to-date information is automatically populated whenever you need to send a communication.

Build Better Estimates

Our CMIS comes packed with tools for creating scope templates, quantity take-off templates, unit costs, assemblies, RFP’s, and more. Everything can be customized to suit you and your potential client, so they can see the exact information they need to make a decision about awarding the project. You can even build multiple versions of an estimate or proposal and work on them simultaneously as you negotiate a contract.

Track EVERYTHING

ECL Software’s CMIS software is the most detailed Work in Process reporting system in the industry. You can track nearly 1,000 data points so you always have up to date and accurate information about the status and progress of your project. Plus, this system even allows for real world accounting to be integrated with the tracking for even more accurate and useful information.

Manage Payments

Your staff can track, manage, and administer all financial transactions through our CMIS, including payroll. The system allows for the pairing of disbursements and detail reports so you never risk overpaying a supplier or getting underpaid by a client. It can also handle any sort of pay rates you can throw at it, including piece work, hourly rates, and salaried pay.

Customize Your CMIS

When you use ECL Software’s CMIS, the learning curve is minimized because we make the software learn your business, not the other way around. We can customize about 2000 settings in the software to reflect the way you do business, so you won’t ever have to waste time and effort adapting your business practices to the way the software operates.
