"We purchased iCPM for two basic reasons: First to allow us to communicate more effectively with our Owners and second to improve information flow between the Field and the Office."

"We have been extremely pleased with the results. Our Owners love the improved communications. It has worked so well that our Project Managers produce a weekly recap report for each Owner and email it to them using the system. The email contains a link back to the system so they can review their project without using IDs and passwords."

"While it was a significant change for our Superintendents to use the Daily Reports, they became used to it quickly. It not only met our needs, it has made both the Office and the Superintendents feel more like they are part of the same team. They really like it."

"HeadsUp has cut hours in production by 60 – 70 %. We have decreased our construction time by 45 days a home. In the office, what used to be a 5 day job for one person is now a one day job. I am very pleased with the HeadsUp application and it obviously has paid for itself many times."

"We were looking for a web based application that seamlessly incorporated scheduling into their program and Heads Up was the only one that does this."

"We have had good luck getting buy-in from owners and architects as well. The nice thing about Heads Up is even if someone doesn't want to enter in the system to respond you can still use it to send them information."

"Their customer service is outstanding and all their contacts we have dealt with have been very personable and professional."

"HeadsUp has streamlined our processes. HeadsUp gives us better access to more information quicker. Their scheduling, using our templates, is significantly easier than what we used to do. It is safe to say, they have paid for themselves many times over."

"When we have found little things that we needed to make HeadsUp work better for us, your support staff has jumped right on the suggestions and made improvements. Now that is customer service – and we are extremely happy with our purchase!"

"We used the daily report and baseline vs actual schedule to defend and collect extended general conditions for delays caused by the owner. On another project, the HeadsUp alert helped up find an RFI defending a change in the field that the architect and owner had forgotten about. HeadsUp has also given us an upper hand when bidding on some projects. The owners are more comfortable in knowing they will be able to see communications and documents regarding their projects in real time."

"This system is unique in that it is inclusive. Trades folks use it for daily logs, supervisors and superintendents use it to communicate with design professionals, while customers can keep track of the dynamic information afforded to them from a management system. It has been enthusiastically accepted by most of my staff; even those most resistant to change of any kind because they quickly realize the positive performance enhancement this system enables them to achieve. The HeadsUp team has always been quick to address any issues we need help with."

Denny Penrod, Production Manager
Quality Craft, Inc.
Schaumburg, IL

"HeadsUp has more than paid for itself. Our billings have increased by 50% this year. I’m not sure how much of this can be attributed to HeadsUp, but I know my life is a lot easier and the business is running smoother. Customer service is great!"

Ross Haynes, COO
Taylor Commercial
Roswell GA

"Things are going well, and we are pleased with the product. Our next step is to review where we are and see how we can better use the product (other functions, reports, etc.). The scheduling has worked very well, and we had tremendous success on the first project we managed completely through HeadsUp."

Terry Gette, Vice President
Gundlach Sheet Metal Works
Sandusky, OH

"We have changed the focus of our business and are working directly with Owners. We use HeadsUp by allowing them access into their projects so they can monitor the schedule and see the quality our company brings to the table. It is tremendous."

John Johnson, President
Clarion Homes, Inc.
Smyrna, Tennessee

"As a home builder, we are down significantly this year due to the economy, but are committed to the use of HeadsUp as it meets our critical need of managing/monitoring and following through with our schedules. It has positioned us to be more efficient and when things turn around, to be ready to grow in size and profitability."

Gus Rau Meyer, President
Rau Construction Company
Overland Park, Kansas

"We initially implemented HeadsUp to accommodate our out of town owners/architects because they wanted to know what was going on with their projects. With the Web Cam feature and permission to log into our HeadsUp system they were delighted.

"It has changed the way we approach our business as we had always been more budget driven. Now we are schedule driven which enables us to control the budget better.

"The training and implementation department are always quick to address any issues we may have and help us. HeadsUp is great!"
