HeadsUp iCPM

We are a small professional design group specializing in civil, structural, and geo-technical engineering services. As a growing company, and in an effort to expand business opportunities, we looked for an economical software solution in order to integrate our current system of four individual applications: time keeping, project management, document control and financial software programs, into one self-supporting program.

Our search led us to HeadsUp Technologies (v2011.3.5.1). After speaking with a HeadsUp representative, we determined that we could effectively transition from our current system (used to create financial spreadsheets, track documents, manage payroll, and schedule projects) into one web-based program. Furthermore, through the company’s customer support, we would have the ability to customize any of their existing reports into formats we already are accustomed to. We purchased HeadsUp Technologies in February, 2011, and after a few short training sessions we began implementing the program.

HeadsUp is user-friendly, easy-to-use. Our team learned to navigate and use HeadsUp iCPM very quickly. Within weeks we started customizing reports and seeing results. Project tracking has become more efficient and reporting has become more accurate. We have reduced the potential for error due to double data entry and cross referencing between programs.

One of the greatest benefits has been the ability to utilize the employee timekeeping entries and estimate/budget summary to generate daily reports that track our actual labor costs against budgeted labor costs. This allows our Project Managers to review and manage resources on a day-by-day basis, and ensure we complete projects on time and under budget.

All in all, we are very satisfied with HeadsUp Technologies and their services, and we look forward to future product enhancements.

Signature Construction is a division of Pedcor Companies in Carmel, Indiana. On average, Signature has about a dozen active residential projects and 4 or 5 commercial. Our annual revenue is around $100,000 million. Since 1986, Signature has constructed over 14,000 multi-family housing units in 11 states throughout the Midwest.

Back in 2005, we were looking for a system to improve our communications between our scheduling and field personnel.

Overall we like the product and feel it is a benefit to our company and operations. The ability to stay up-to-date with the daily reports and real-time schedule at any time, from any computer with Internet access is one of the key factors to our success. Our ability to save project templates is a big help in getting a project started. Our schedules are huge, due to our product and delivery method, and for the most part, iCPM has allowed us to maintain a schedule with greater detail much more easily than our previous method. I really like the system and appreciate the excellent customer service. I certainly feel that they are looking out for our best interests and pay attention to us personally. I don’t feel like an account number in my correspondence with iCPM.
