We switched to CATProjects from MultiCAT in March 2016 and, although similar, we have found the cloud based system more effective and intuitive. The ability to run all our contract admin, job costing and communication through one programme, and accessed from any device, is invaluable. The document storage facilities and ability to access historical communications within CATProjects has also allowed us to do away with a large amount of our hard copy filing, saving us time, money and space. Communication with, and support from CAT is always provided to a very high standard allowing us to better understand and use the software as we progress. We would highly recommend this product to other construction companies.
HRS Construction is a Christchurch based mid-sized traditional commercial construction company. We found out about CAT following search for a document control system for our business. In this search CAT appeared and following our first online demonstration we were sold. In the office the transition from our old but still functioning system to CAT was at times challenging but now we would not be without it. Site acceptance and buy in from operations staff to the system was amazing.
We employ 15 Site Managers who now administrate their projects from lap tops and get real time financial reporting on their projects. This fact and record keeping aspects of the system have empowered our Supervisors more than I ever imagined. Following the events September 2010 and February 2011 CAT handled our rapid increase in new projects with ease when we went from 100 projects a year to 100 in a month. We have been very well supported throughout the introduction of the system by CAT’s excellent support staff. We would no hesitation on recommending CAT to other contractors.
