Bird Construction (TSX:BDT.UN), one of the largest construction companies in Canada with revenues of $1.036 Billion, selected Viewpoint V6 Software® to integrate and enhance the company’s financial and operational systems while sharing data across branch offices in real time. Viewpoint’s complete suite of integrated applications for PreConstruction, Project Management, Document Management, Job Cost, Accounting, Finance and Human Resources will improve efficiency and support continued growth.
“Demanding customers require sophisticated reporting,” said Arthur Krehut, Construction Manager, Bird Construction – Edmonton, Alberta. “Viewpoint will help us be more in tune with our customers and have the real-time data and reports we need to manage the work more precisely. Every minute counts, and I can put each additional minute I save to better use by maintaining high levels of client satisfaction and getting more work.”
Why Viewpoint?
Simplicity, efficiency and automation aligned to meet Bird Construction’s key financial and operational requirements:
- Executive financial reporting and online profit and loss statements
- Integrated change order management
- Contract flexibility including cost plus, construction management, and unit price contracts
- Key operations modules including project management and document control
- Human Resources integrated with payroll and training
“The main driver was the lack of flexibility and integration in the old system,” said Jason Trumbla, VP Finance, CA, Macc, Bird Construction – Toronto, Ontario. “Viewpoint’s scalability, ease of use, integration with operations and breadth of functionality and reporting will allow us to streamline and automate our operations while being able to engage more effectively in P3 projects. Leading technology will also allow us to attract and retain the best and brightest talent.”
