HeadsUp Technologies delivers its residential and commercial construction software over the Internet. This, the Overland Park, Kansas-based vendor said, lets customers avoid the frequent requirement of some boxed applications for additional servers or workstations.

This Web-based project management software also features construction estimating, bidding, construction scheduling, document management, field data capture, and financial information capabilities, all of which appear in a single integrated system designed to eliminate builders' needs for multiple applications during a project's life cycle, the vendor said. The system's user interface is enhanced by a technology known as Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). Finally, the vendor recommended builders use, at a minimum, Microsoft Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6.0.

For back-office integration, HeadsUp interfaces with job cost accounting software programs such as Sage Timberline Office, Sage Master Builder and Contractor Anywhere.
