Housing Giants - January 1, 2009 - (Page 9) TECH the trading partner while also offering a portal for best-practice sharing, company news and event information. Every Web portal uniquely provides secure viewing screens that offer critical data for individual trade partners, such as approved, issued or cancelled POs. It even allows trade partners the ability to assign which crews did the work associated with any purchase order or event schedules. (The schedules can be viewed by projected, scheduled or completion dates.) Schedule notifications can be automatically triggered through the Web portal’s scheduling tool and delivered to any individual Web portal, or they can be redirected by the builder or subcontractor to an e-mail box or wireless device. And if CraftMaster wants to send documents or attachments, these also can be sent via the trade portal for all of their trades and subs to download or view. Aloi estimates that CraftMaster Homes saves one full-time equivalent, as well as five to eight additional hours of existing staff member’s time each week. So, over the course of a single year, the Web portal saves CraftMaster Homes two full-time equivalents (FTEs). “But the labor saving is nothing compared to the ease of handling information.” Learn more with a visit www.craftmaster-homes.com.
