CHICAGO, Jan. 6, 2015 /TRENDINGGLOBALNEWS/ -- Textura® Corporation (NYSE: TXTR),
the leading provider of collaboration solutions for the construction
industry, announced today that Gilbane Building Company plans to roll
out Textura-Construction Payment Management™ (CPM™) internationally for construction projects led by its Gilbane Federal unit.
Gilbane, which is the 14th largest General Contractor in the United States
according to Engineering News-Record, operates in more than 50 offices
around the world. A Textura client since 2009, Gilbane currently uses
the CPM solution to enhance payment management processes on projects
across the United States as well as in Europe and Mexico.
"In
addition to greatly improving invoicing and payment processes across
our domestic projects, Textura-CPM has given us much greater visibility
and international coordination for our projects in Ireland and Mexico.
Given the significant benefits we've seen on those projects, we've
decided to bring the Gilbane Federal international projects onto CPM as
well," said John Yena,
VP-Operations Controller for Gilbane. "With CPM, we've been able to
seamlessly handle the accounting on international projects from our U.S.
offices, and we fully expect the productivity and global visibility
benefits we get from CPM to scale across this international portfolio,"
he said.
Gilbane
Federal, whose international building specialties include airfield,
medical, border fort, school, police academy, fire station, fuel
facility and other military construction, has completed projects in Afghanistan, Germany, Portugal, Guam, Iraq, Japan, Turkey and Korea, among other countries.
A
web-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Textura-CPM automates and
streamlines payment management processes, including invoicing, lien
waiver collection, compliance management. In addition, CPM facilitates
electronic disbursement of payment, including in local currencies. CPM
replaces inefficient, paper-heavy manual processes with collaborative
workflows that boost productivity and visibility and reduce risk for all
users.
"We're thrilled that Gilbane is expanding its use of CPM to more international projects," said Patrick Allin,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Textura Corporation. "We have a
global vision at Textura and have already launched operations in Europe and Australasia. Gilbane's experience with CPM in Europe and Mexico
underscores the benefits we can provide to clients operating in
international markets, and we look forward to helping Gilbane as they
also grow around the world."
