Baxall Construction has implementeddocument management softwareto
conform to industry standards for the storage and retrieval of
business correspondence.
The Kent-based construction company chose web-based
Workspace from Union Square Software after an on-site
demonstration at an architectural practice.
"Seeing it used in a live working environment made me realise
that Workspace was right for our particular business," said
Jonathan Exall, finance and marketing director at Baxall
Construction.
He said that the size and quantity of critical documents in the
construction industry meant that most standard
document management software was unsuitable.
"Workspace's greatest advantage was that it was specifically
designed for the construction industry to cater for sub-contractor
tendering and performance ratings as well as managing drawing files
and requests for information," said Exall.
The software also provides a simple method of archiving and
retrieving all documents, including emails, through a central
web-based portal that can be accessed worldwide to prevent
duplication of work.
