Are You Ready to Feel the Rush???

Online, March 26, 2013 (Newswire.com) - To survive in today's economy many contractors are asked to do it all; roofing, siding, gutters, windows, doors. In these competitive times, one question keeps coming up again and again. What can I do to grow my external remodeling business?

Contractors have heard a lot of advice from those selling remodeling software programs. Some may even have taken that advice and spent a good amount of hard-earned money on several versions of software. Most likely these programs were not comprehensive and handled only a portion of the contractor forms needed. Many contractors have given up on using any more residential construction software solutions to make their business grow. They grew so tired of having to use one program for roofing, another for siding, and yet even another for windows.

H.I. Technologies has now created a way to streamline the entire process. The company will soon launch Contractor Rush; contractor software designed by contractors for contractors. H. I. Technologies created this construction management software after intensive research on actual business needs experienced by contractors on job sites.

Using "standard operating procedures", it takes two days on average to draw up a project estimate. With Contractor Rush, business runs so efficiently that the same task can now be completed in just 15 minutes. "Results are shown quickly, but speed is not the premier benefit," said Allen Thrush, founder of H. I. Technologies. "Control of business is the primary reason a contractor would want to use this program."

Contractor Rush software offers a complete business operations system all in one place. It takes just eight hours from download to set up to be ready to go. H.I. Technologies is developing Contractor Rush to be able to perform on many digital platforms.

Contractor Rush focuses on the entire contractor business process. It is the only program needed to run an entire business because it tracks contractor labor costs, keeps work orders correct and can print contractor completion certificates. It's contractor intuitive."

Most of the available software programs are usually designed for use in just one trade. This software will help a one- or two-man business grow faster without increasing overhead costs. However, even contractors with a sales staff will like Contractor Rush because sales personnel will be able to calculate commissions instantly. With conventional methods a salesperson has to get the foot in the door three times; initial call, estimate review, and sample display with signing the third time. Now it can be a one-time sales call.

Contractor Rush can function as accounting software for contractors. It will track payables and administrative tasks, but it can do so much more. It can empower a sales force, control leads, and follow up on everything going out. This program was written by a professional contractor for professional contractors. Being aware that business methods are always evolving, H.I. Technologies plans to include updates yearly. This will be an easy add-on for contractors as Contractor Rush uses Cloud-based technology. There will be no need to install a CD for updates.

Another prime benefit of Contractor Rush is that it provides protection for a company because everything is traceable and trackable. The home office can view an estimate at the same time as the salesman is entering it. This eliminates confusion that can occur with handwritten orders. Other tracking benefits?

-Ability to manage material will reduce waste
-Perform workers compensation and RRR reviews easily
-Prepare contingency documents for insurance companies
-Print a completion certificate on site for homeowners to sign
-Track closing rates in real time
-Immediately display sales force commission reports
-Store before and after photos linked to job

Contractors will have to make some lifestyle changes after switching to Contractor Rush. They will have invoices and contracts ready to sign right during the sales call because all of the paperwork is done at the time the estimate is run in the field. That means no more having to stay up late filling out orders from handwritten field notes. You might actually have time for a life again.
