Constructor, The Magazine of the AGC, Features Vela Systems Mobile Field Software
Arlington, VA, November 1, 2006 - Constructor, the magazine of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), features Vela Systems mobile field software in its September/October 2006 Information Technology section. The AGC article highlights how leading general contractors and construction managers are using Vela software to streamline field administration processes for tangible benefits and measurable savings. By replacing paper and clipboard or weatherproof field notebook with enterprise-class software on mobile devices, such as tablet PCs, Vela enables GCs and CMs to accelerate cycle times in a broad spectrum of field tasks from safety inspection to field report to rolling completion/punch list to extra work order/slip tracking.
Vela Systems software dovetails with the fundamentals of the AGC, "promoting use of the latest technology and advocating building the best quality projects for owners -- public and private." Vela Chief of Business Development, Richard Jennings, FAIA and former Director of Technical Services for 3D/International (now a subsidiary of Parsons) highlights, "The Vela technology is a powerful enabler to drive visibility and transparency into the quality control and quality assurance processes from excavations through to handover." Reporting a 4-8 hour time savings per week, contractors using Vela deliver a higher quality of construction services. The result: driving productivity and profitability, controlling risk and liability, gaining a competitive advantage, and augmenting client satisfaction and retention.
With over 35,000 member firms across 100 chapters throughout the U.S. and more than 80 years of experience in the construction industry, the AGC is the "voice of the construction industry". Vela's client base spans the full range of the AGC constituency from local builders to regional construction managers to national and global contractors and in the building and non-building market segments. Josh Kanner, Vela CEO, comments, "Vela creates a tangible return on investment, immediately after deployment, whether you are managing a $25M project, a $250M project or a $2.5BN project. The software is designed by construction professionals for construction professionals. Optimized for use on the job site, Vela software is easy to learn and easy to use, regardless of one's computer skills."
