Tempus Construction Services Joins the COINS Ti Family

09/16/2005   

Latham, New York, USA - Tempus Construction Services, Inc. (Tempus) of McHenry , Illinois , has selected COINS Ti as its new enterprise software for construction management and accounting. COINS Ti is developed and implemented by Shaker Computer and Management Services, Inc. (SHAKER) of Latham , NY.

Tempus selected COINS Ti as its new software for many reasons, most notably because of COINS Ti's strong Payroll and Job Status modules. Tempus was impressed by COINS Ti's ability to handle union calculations and complex payroll burden issues and its strong payroll security. Tempus also required a graphical interface for its project managers that fully supported job cost projections and project manager forecasts, and that automatically and continually calculated estimated cost at completion and other key job metrics. Also important to Tempus are Argon, the business intelligence software embedded in COINS Ti, and the ability to interface with third party reporting tools such as Crystal Reports. Since some of Tempus' requirements are unique, SHAKER's demonstrated commitment to close relationships with its clients and high quality client-specific software development was important to the selection decision.
