A member since 1975 of “Gremi de Constructors d'Obres de Barcelona i Comarques”, since 1991 they have been classified as an estate contract company and since 2003 have implemented the ISO 9001:2000 standards to all sectors of the company.
For the implementation of the projects, Construcciones Peña Mateos SA, they count on a wide range of employees that include specialist technicians, building experts and an agile and effective administration department.
SITUATION
Recently Construcciones Peña Mateos have experienced a large growth in business, which has obligated them to take control over their projects; control which they wouldn't have been able to achieve using the different IT tools - which were not compatible with each other.
"We need the management system that would be totally integrated to replace the different applications with those which we managed the diverse areas of the company and personally adapted to the building firm, the way in which we can easily manage current building projects" commented Mrs, Maribel Peña Mur, Finance Manager, Construcciones Peña Mateos, S.A.
SOLUTION
Therefore, after a valuation of the diverse options, Construcciones Peña Mateos decided to implement Microsoft Dynamics NAV and ConstruVertex module, vertical application developed by Gepesa for companies of the construction sector .
By making this investment, the company was able to settle the integration problems and the lack of control of current building projects. The reliability, competence and the guaranteed future of Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Gepesa capability to understand the specific business needs and organizational processes of Construcciones Peña Mateos company, were decisive criterias in favor of the proposal of Gepesa.
"Gepesa was able to understand our language, offering a modular solution adoptable to our needs and our budget" - added Mrs, Maribel Peña Mur
With the implementation of ConstruVertex they integrated all the areas of the company, achieving a reduction in administrative costs and obtaining a major data reliability. As a result of the project headed by Gepesa, Peña Mateos Constructions, counts on a global management solution, that contemplates specific problems of the construction company.
Meaning that, Mrs Sandra Armendáriz Valadez, architect for said Construcciones Peña Mateos affirmed: "ConstruVertex has brought great advantages for the Technical Department such as a complete administration of budget, projects, production control projects, facilities for economic planning, allocation of expenses, certifications and analysis reports"
BENEFITS
Thanks to ConstruVertex Construcciones Peña Mateos have been able to manage all the processes of the company with one unique IT tool, from the early research into a project until a final invoicing.
The implementation of ConstruVertex and Microsoft Dynamics NAV has produced improvements in company management in multiple departments, e.g. the Department of Quality and Prevention, as Mrs María Jose Martínez Cendrero, who is responsible for the Quality and Prevention in the company confirmed:
"Thanks to Construvertex our System of Managing Quality, based on ISO 9001:2000 regulations, has been converted into a flexible and practical process. In this manner it carries out the monitoring and abides by the valid laws related in matters of Prevention".
Some of the clear advantages of the implementation of Construvertex in Construcciones Peña Mateos are:
- Optimization of processes in all different areas
- Easiness in introduction of data
- Integration of data from all the departments of the company
- Importation of prices lists and / or budgets in FIEDBC3 format (e.g. Presto)
- Effective cost control
- Complete control over work production (certifications originated by measurement or percentage)
