Key Electrical Contracting Modules

Project Management

At any given moment, do you know the status of each and every RFI, submittal, change request, and change order? With Spectrum™ Construction Project Management Software, you will. Spectrum tracks all of these project components—from initiation to final resolution—by date and detail in an organized, uniform, easy-to-access system.

Spectrum's Project Management Software provides a fully integrated process for managing workflow. Project Management tracks all items that must be fulfilled under a contract, plus anything else that must be tracked during the job. Designed to coordinate details throughout an organization, Spectrum Construction Project Management Software places vital information and documentation at the users' fingertips instantly.

Job Cost

Spectrum's Job Cost module provides project managers, controllers, and owners with all the information necessary to keep jobs on track and spot any potential cost overruns.

Accurate and timely monitoring of job costs and profitability can make or break any company. Job Cost provides an easy way of monitoring profitability on any job with completely up-to-date information. Tight integration with other Spectrum™ modules allows updates to Job Cost virtually as soon as information is entered into other modules. For example, daily time card entry in Payroll ensures accurate labor costs at all times.

Service Contracts

Spectrum's Service Contracts module provides a high level of control over all aspects of service contract management, including billing, advanced scheduling, profitability analysis, and warranty tracking. Service Contract can also be a powerful marketing tool in demonstrating the benefits of a service contract to potential customers.

The Spectrum™ Service Contracts module promotes greater control over service contract revenues and costs. Through reports and various inquiry screens, the profitability of contracts can be evaluated. Contracts can be revised as needed at renewal to ensure profitability.

Purchase Order

Spectrum's Purchase Order module provides a complete control system for material purchases for jobs and inventory. Purchases for a job update the committed cost for the job as soon as the purchase order is entered. This allows a potential cost overrun to be identified as orders are being placed. Received purchase orders automatically create AP invoices in Spectrum's Accounts Payable module.

In addition, Spectrum™ makes it easy to compare competitive quotes from vendors. A proposal system helps you gather quotes and select the best prices. Spectrum then automatically creates individual purchase orders for each vendor selected.

Esti-Link

Spectrum's Esti-Link module can be used as a link between your estimating program and Spectrum. Esti-Link provides a fully automated method of transferring estimates to Job Cost, where job detail is automatically created. The job is set up in Job Cost, subcontracts are set up in Accounts Payable / Subcontract Management, and the contract is set up in Accounts Receivable. Manual re-entry of estimates in Spectrum is eliminated! Time is saved and accuracy is improved.

Work Order

Spectrum's Work Order module provides a complete billing, tracking, and dispatch system for companies that perform service work. With Work Order you can control service activity, review customer service history, quickly invoice work performed, and control profitability for each invoice. Reporting provides customer history and profitability across a variety of selections.
