Park Square Homes is a major construction company having multiple construction
sites in Florida.
Problem:
Suppliers of Park Square Homes deliver material directly on-site to the site
supervisors. On receiving the material, supervisors have to send an invoice
received note to the head office on weekly basis, where it would be verified
and approved by the purchase manager. This recursive process resulted in
delaying the acceptance of material and paying off the bills, due to which Park
Square Homes was not receiving competitive prices.
Solution:
eSoft analyzed the problem and noticed that the delay in billing and payment
cycle was due to the time taken for an invoice to reach the head office from
the site supervisors. After conducting a feasibility study Park Square Homes
and eSoft arrived at a solution of providing wireless devices to the site
supervisors which would facilitate them in uploading the billing information
onto central database on real-time basis. eSoft developed a web application
through which the site supervisors using their wireless devices could connect
to the central database of Park Square Homes. The site supervisors used Palm
VII PDAs to access the database. Finally post inspection the information was
updated onto the Accounts Payable System (Timberline Software) of Park Square
Homes.
