Designed specifically for busy construction firms,
Penta Service Management integrates all data into a central database, allowing immediate data access anywhere users need it -- the field, office or site of a service call. Additionally, Penta Service Management provides one integrated system where users can keep all data, enabling drill-down reporting, real-time data access and an advanced financial management system specifically designed for the construction industry, the vendor said. With this construction project management software, dispatch, service calls, customer service history, maintenance contracts and lists of installed equipment are readily available, allowing users to easily check customer warranty data, carry over incomplete work orders and tell customers exactly when requested part will arrive, said the vendor. In addition, Penta Service Management helps users handle their billing; these capabilities let users bill each job with fixed-rate, flat-rate, or discount pricing, add miscellaneous charges, establish special relationship discounts, have unlimited rate tables or customize call types with your own labor rates.
Penta's Project Management Workbench was developed with the help of professionals from a variety of construction disciplines. The PM Dashboard highlights late and upcoming items, as well as any other items that need a manager's attention. Furthermore, the PM Workbench helps project managers handle labor productivity management issues, complete complex work breakdown structures, complete accurate forecasts, share information among departments and manage unresolved claims, said the vendor. Additional features of the PM Workbench include real-time database updates, trend analysis reporting, job forecasting, user customized job inquiry and change request management, the vendor said.
Having recognized the difficulty in creating one construction project management tool to fit the needs of the construction industry's wide range of companies and users, Penta has created a flexible mobile application for the AEC marketplace. With Penta Mobile, users gain access to existing business-critical applications whether they have wireline or wireless connectivity. Other features of Penta Mobile include multiple data source connectivity, a complete development environment and easy deployment across a variety of devices, from Java-enabled phones to laptops, the vendor said.
