Concrete Vision, a project management software solution provided by VPRO, inc., was implemented at four Oldcastle Precast Building Systems facilities — one each in Maryland and Pennsylvania, plus two in New York — during a late-2007 conversion. The VPRO software will be used for all projects at those plants, including new jobs and work in progress.

Concrete Vision, VPRO's core software product, is a web-based project management software application designed specifically for precast. Besides providing a Central Repository to maintain company contacts and link to all projects, it facilitates diverse and multiple functions via modules dedicated to Projects, Engineering, Production, Quality Control, Yarding, Dispatch, Accounting, and Sales.

Notes VPRO President Dan VanWieren, “Companies using the Concrete Vision solution have realized at least $250,000 per year in savings. We are pleased that Oldcastle has chosen to partner with us in increasing the effectiveness and profitability of their company through the use of our software.” — www.vproinc.com, 616/530-5911
