Dexter + Chaney To Exhibit Spectrum’s Query and Dashboards, Resource Scheduling Modules At CFMA’s 2010 Annual Conference

SEATTLE, May 12, 2010: Dexter + Chaney (www.dexterchaney.com) will exhibit the Query and Dashboards and Resource Scheduling modules in its Spectrum® Construction Software at CFMA’s 2010 Annual Conference & Exhibition June 26-30 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village in Waikoloa HI (booths 301 and 302).

The Job Backlog dashboard, for example, provides company owners and executives with a graphic display of the company’s projected future income stream, based on the value of the company’s construction projects. Top management can view jobs in various stages—active, signed, awarded and proposed—on a monthly basis extending more than a year into the future. That helps the company pinpoint months when adding new construction projects will become critical to its financial health.

The Query and Dashboards module provides graphic displays (“dashboards”) of a construction company’s key performance indicators by customer, project and activity. It provides real-time access to project, schedule and financial information—tailored to the specific needs of executive, operations and financial personnel—in a concise, easily understandable format. Spectrum’s Query automatically notifies the user via e-mail when a particular event has occurred, like a project falling behind schedule by a specified number of days.

The Resource Scheduling module enables construction companies to coordinate all resources for a job, ensuring that equipment, employees and movers are available when and where needed. Resource Scheduling helps users eliminate expensive job delays and unnecessary expenses for renting equipment or hiring temporary workers. The module’s Scheduling Board screen features graphic displays that make it easy for dispatchers to assign employees and assets to jobs, schedule equipment moves and make changes to existing assignments.
