Project Management

The EPS Professional Project Management module assists landlords and tenants in the management of single and multi-site projects. A project may be as simple as changing the branding of a few retail stores, refitting a single new lease or as complex as redesigning layout of a whole retail.

The module supports the management of all three phases of a project: Feasibility Planning, Planning and Design and Implementation.

Feasibility Planning

During the initial stages of the project the Project Management module is used to develop costing models for use in the business planning and capital budgeting process. The product's simple project copying and benchmarking abilities make it very easy to quickly develop budget costing for use in the early stages of feasibility analysis.

Planning and Design

Once a project has been approved, the Project Management module supports detailed design, timelines and cost planning for the project. Again the templating features of the product make it very easy to simply copy a prototype project and increase the project detail ready for implementation. Detailed purchasing lists can be quickly developed and customised using the Construction Group and Construction Item concepts.

Implementation

Once the project is up and running the software supports all aspects of vendor administration and project management. It has a critical date calendar that identifies critical dates to track project milestones and tasks.

Full authorisation and payment administration occurs within Project Management and links to your accounting system to perform cheque runs and manage accounts payable. This ensures functionality duplication does not occur. The system also supports deliveries to multiple locations for use in multi-lease projects.

Performance Management

Overlaying the project management module is a full Performance Management module that provides ongoing project reporting. At any stage reporting on commitments to date, over/under budget status, costs to complete, milestones completed, and more can be provided on one project or many projects. This means that at any stage you can understand the exact status of all of your projects.
