iPIMS packs a Punch

Drive all project opportunities through a conversion pipeline.  Keep track of tender deadlines and store documents.  Drive submission success and conversion to active projects.

Standardise on industry best-practice estimating, and have it repeatable and fast!  Identify and tag risk areas for close review and approval.  Leverage price lists, and proven template pricing.  Manage margin, admin and risk premiums.  Price the program of works, not just the tasks.

At the heart of iPIMS is the not-so-humble Daily Diary.  The iPIMS Daily Diary is powerful tool that collects all the data you need to actively manage costs and revenue on a daily basis – as well as providing the traditional benefits of daily diaries.  Accountability and visibility are at the core.

Winning a job with an accurate fully costed estimate is the first step.  Then you must rely on your remote teams to deliver every element of the job in accordance with that estimate.  Keep margin aside, and enforce disciplined daily cost control such that every task is delivered to the budget cost or less.  Margin assurance is by design, never by chance.

Industry best-practice progress claims allow for easy client approval, rapid invoicing and maximised cashflow.  Integrate with your accounting package to avoid double-handling, and leverage your already-established business rules.

Variations must be easy to administer, fast and recoverable.  iPIMS includes a simple, clear and tracked variation management system that will not leave a dollar on the table (unless you choose), on every project.  Price, submit, approve or negotiate, and track performance.

Point-in-time Cost To Date vs Earned Value is one thing – but where you're headed is another, and should be clear and re-assessed regularly.  iPIMS includes best-practice forecasting.  With every new forecast, hold your team accountable by drilling into the details of variance movements that get clearly highlighted.

Monitor Cost To Date versus Budgeted Resource Cost vs Earned Value at the project, task and resource levels.  Interrogate multiple projects, clients, or work types simultaneously.  Identify slippage early, and rectify before problems grow.  Clear, granular performance monitoring sits at the heart of iPIMS to enable early course-correction.  Real performance monitoring enables refinement of future estimating, higher win-rates, financially safer projects, and greater rewards.

Seamlessly cost-code supplier invoices, supersede accruals, approve for payment and push into your integrated accounting package.  

iPIMS works seamlessly with Xero, removing hours of double handling.  Cost code invoices and approve in iPIMS, push to Xero with a button click for payment.  Pay your workforce using iPIMS SmartPay Templates to automatically calculate correct pay rates, overtime, allowances and loadings.  Push pre-prepared fully-automated pay runs into Xero.  The iPIMS-Xero integration allows rapid, accurate payment of suppliers, workforce and staff to keep your engine running smooth and happy.

Scan a QR code on each machine or plant item to automatically furnish important pre-start information to the operator, and enforce mandatory pre-start checks.  View all plant and equipment history, status, service requirements and actions taken in a central Plant and Equipment Management Centre.

Record your site Daily Pre-Start meeting minutes, notices and attendance in a central location visible on and off-site.  Require workforce acknowledgement of planned tasks, risks, mandatory controls and safe work method statements to be used.  Retrieve and discuss the Daily Pre-Starts with visitors or late starters, requiring further acknowledgment and sign-on.

Easily access your SWMS on the job-front.  Add to, edit and re-issue SWMS specific to a project, or task and require workforce re-sign-on.  Put your SWMS in the pockets of every worker on site via the iPIMS app.

Workforce can create, edit, and re-use JSEAs on their phones, tablets or laptops.  Require JSEA review, acknowledgement and sign-on for tasks.  Easily retrieve current JSEAs for spot-audits.

Industry best-practice ITP structure, with flexible signing authorities.  iPIMS digital ITPs are seamless in the field and office, allowing ultimate visibility of quality control and a focus on the physical task at hand.  Print and issue to clients rapidly in PDF format.

Raise defects and attach photos, videos or files to the defect.  Seamless dispatch to workforce or subcontractors for rectification.  Report on and close defects rapidly.

Leverage the iPIMS Document Control area to provide controlled access to current revision documents to site teams and subcontractors.  Issue for use, and retract documents such that your teams are always working from the current information.

Accurate, fast and easy-to-use timesheets for workforce and staff.  Create SmartPay Rules to automatically create fast and accurate pay runs, and push those into your accounting system with a click.  No more spreadsheets, and lengthy discussions with finance, accounting or bookkeeping teams. 

Rapidly create, publish and update rosters across multiple sites and teams.  Workforce get notified of their upcoming shifts upon publishing.  Add notes and instructions to rosters for each person as required.

If you have remote sites or projects, set allowable clock-in/out radiuses around the sites on a map.  Staff can only clock-in/out when they're within that radius.  The iPIMS geo-fencing system means timesheets accurately reflect time on site, and you can rest-assured you are paying for work done.

Create SmartPay rules for each employee that automatically compute pays based on clock-in/out and timesheet hours.  Pay multiple rates, allowances, loadings, pay and accrue leave, leave loadings, public holiday rates, etc.  The iPIMS SmartPay system ensures you pay correctly, quickly and accurately every time.  SmartPay integrates with Xero, such that a single button click gets your pay run done, saving hours of finance and bookkeeping time.

Gain valuable management insight at a glass into projects, clients, workforce performance.  Group projects or work types using interactive dashboards, or review high-level business metrics such as total accrued cost vs actual, cost and revenue by date, and cashflow metrics.

iPIMS alerts you to critical items via SMS text message, and email.  You can also use the system to issue your own broadcast messages to your remote teams.

Create tasks to delegate to your team, and track completion in centralised task boards.  Filter by task category, owner, due-date etc.  Simple and effective team work.
