PaaS™ and Risk Mitigation

Protecting Your Investment in Construction Material Assets

The Purchasing Department's Purchasing-as-a-Service (PaaS™) is revolutionizing the way Owners, Investors, Insurers, and Lenders approach their residential new construction and renovation projects. Our Onsite Field Reps and central office Purchasing Experts use our PaaS™ to not only streamline operations but significantly mitigate the financial and operational risks associated with building homes.

Let’s dive into how monitoring and reporting, two core aspects of our PaaS system, are leading this charge.

It’s The Data!
In any construction endeavor, data is the backbone of efficient materials management. However, it's not just about collecting data but monitoring usage and reporting against the pre-defined plan. Comparing estimated usage to actual usage empowers stakeholders to control projects more effectively. We gather data throughout the entire construction lifecycle, offering real-time reports that pave the way for actionable insights. This knowledge can guide choices in selecting superior materials, hiring the best contractors, and even recovering funds lost to incorrect purchases or theft.

Essential Management Reports for Your Project:

With our technology, we provide a series of invaluable management reports, such as:

Percentage of Completion Report: Gauge the exact progress of your construction.

Quantity Takeoff Estimate to Actual Inventory Used Report: Ensure material estimates align with actual usage.

Completed Phase Summary Report: Understand the efficiency and challenges at every stage of the building process.

Excess Material/Inappropriate Ordering Recovery Report: Identify waste, unnecessary purchases or possible theft.

Real-time Jobsite Monitoring

Routine inventory checks on job-sites are critical. They facilitate:

Accurate progress tracking, vital for generating comprehensive reports like the Percentage of Completion.

Efficient stock management by removing empty containers and replenishing required materials, ensuring zero downtime.

How PaaS™ Helps in Mitigating and Controlling Risks:

Cost Overruns: Our technology, coupled with material Takeoffs and expert purchasing guidance, nullifies concerns of inaccurate material counts or budgeting errors.

Cost Monitoring: Say goodbye to the days of struggling with material cost discrepancies. Our system verifies invoices, tracks expenses, and offers a transparent view through multiple reports available via the customer portal.

Project Progress: The accuracy of our reports ensures steady cash flow and adherence to timelines, negating the risks of project delays or abandonment.

Transparency: Eliminate the shadows. Our monitoring technology drastically cuts down the chances of unethical activities like fraudulent purchasing or theft.

Market and Regulatory Factors: Stay updated with real-time tracking of material prices, local building codes, and permitting requirements. Additionally, we keep tabs on governmental incentives and rebate programs, adding another layer of profitability to projects.
