What’s
New in Projectmates?
Support for International Languages

Projectmates 10.2, scheduled for release very
soon, will support most written languages in use
today. Projectmates users across the globe will
be able to input and access information in their
language of choice.
Cash Flow Forecasting
This new budgeting tool helps you time your cash
flow requirements. Mathematically plotted on an
S-Curve, the cash flow forecast shows the
cumulative percentage of budget funds to be paid
out at various points during a project. The cash
flow forecast can reduce overhead significantly
from interest payments alone. For example, if
you know most funds will be paid out between
months 10 and 20 of a project, you can reduce
interest payments by securing a loan when you’ll
actually need the funds. Because some months
require higher payouts, the forecasting tool can
also help make provisions for difficult times
before they arrive.
Easy Access to Public Bids
We’ve simplified the bid process for contractors
and subcontractors. Requested by many A/E/C
firms and retail clients, the new public bid
room allows contractors to view published bids
without needing a Projectmates login ID and
password. Only after a contractor adds a bid
will he sign up in Projectmates. As with
Projectmates V10.0, using Projectmates Bid
Manager lets you effortlessly publish and manage
bids online. This tool allows you to include bid
documents for online viewing, answer contractor
questions, receive and compare electronic bids,
and award contracts.
Projectmates Integrates OxBlue's Webcams
Just when we thought our project homepage
couldn’t get smarter and slicker, we’ve gone and
done it again. This time we’ve integrated
Projectmates with OxBlue webcams. Owners and
project executives already equipped with
Projectmates now have the added ability to be
virtually present at any jobsite, seeing the
construction happen in real time with up-to-date
progress pictures.
The integration brings the best of construction
management software and construction cameras
into one Web-based application.
“We've consistently heard from customers that
they want to integrate the OxBlue construction
cameras with their project management systems,"
says Chandler McCormack, owner of OxBlue. "So
when customers who use Projectmates requested
the technology be integrated to capture all
project information seamlessly in one place,
both OxBlue and Systemates were in favor of
working together to make that a reality.”
