Projectmates Helps Speed Construction of Crate&Barrel Stores
Dallas, Texas, [May 24, 2001] – Good Fulton & Farrell Architects a Dallas-based
architectural firm recently selected Projectmates for online construction management
for new Crate&Barrel stores.
"Projectmates provides feature-rich construction management tools", says Senior
Project Coordinator Rick Myers at Dallas-based Good Fulton & Farrell. "The user
interface is intuitive so our team could quickly get up to speed and start using
it productively within a few days."
With features like role-based menus, threaded discussions and document and drawing
storage for multiple file types without the need for conversion, Projectmates provides
and all its clients a fully customizable and secured website in which to interact,
delegate tasks and automatically update each team member in real time using a website
accessible only by secured user Ids and passwords.
"With Projectmates, architects and contractors find it easier than ever before to
manage complicated, paper intensive processes," says Varsha Bhave, president of
Systemates, Dallas-based application service provider and developer of Projectmates.
Construction management features automate workflow processes such as RFI, Shop Drawing
Submittals, Proposal Requests, and Change Orders via simple web interface.
"Projectmates makes projects a truly collaborative process. The team communicates
more effectively and in less time," says Rick Myers. "We anticipate completing the
construction of the Crate&Barrel store in Houston earlier than expected. This is
partly due to the team's effort and partly due to the use of Projectmates that expedited
and streamlined the RFI process."
Systemates launched Projectmates last year and is already experiencing attention
from nationally recognized organizations, including Federal Express, a global premier
carrier and University of North Carolina.
