Heads Up Technologies
Constructech's Hottest Companies 2007 - Residential
More builders are getting a heads-up on cost and schedule variances these
days—HeadsUp Technologies, www.headsuptech.com, Overland Park, Kan., to be exact.
While other vendors integrate field reporting, CPM (critical path management)
scheduling, and document management through the use of disparate databases,
HeadsUp links these critical tasks into a single Web-accessible database. Each
morning, the company compares information from a daily report with that of the
schedule, identifies variances, and subsequently provides alerts. These
variances are ranked according to how they effect project completion and
budget.
As a Web-based technology, HeadsUp ensures customers are always running the
most updated version of its technology without the need to install or upgrade
software. Using Microsoft Web Services, HeadsUp Technologies interfaces with
local PC-based accounting and estimating systems to allow critical field
information to be linked with a builder’s enterprise in realtime.
Its growth within residential construction continued during the past year,
with many new builders and residential contractors coming on board as
customers.
With an executive management team that truly understands construction and the
value of Web-based technologies, HeadsUp Technologies provides a level of trust
for builders out in the field.
