Collins Builders is a member of an exclusive group: They are one of very few builders in Florida that have continued to prosper in spite of the extremely challenging conditions affecting housing markets nationwide.
It helps that they build affordable homes with a very high standard of quality and that they have a well-earned reputation for integrity. It also helps that they are extremely efficient in managing their entire business. One of their key success factors was the choice to utilize AppWright JobCenter for staying on top of everything that moves in their world. New prospects are entered into AppWright and the sales staff uses this data to help close deals faster and also analyze those that don't. New home sales are managed from the very first credit-check and permit application all the way through feature selections, construction, and closing with the powerful job template and worklist management tools in AppWright JobCenter. Even the home options (selection sheets) are managed online, including importing pricing and configuration options from their accounting and estimating systems. The system provides their vendors and subcontractors free web-access to their specific job schedules, which are updated daily and kept extremely accurate by the Collins Builders job superintendents. This eliminates expensive and wasteful dry-runs by the vendors and improves quality for the entire build process. When the house is closed and enters the warranty and after-care phase, the entire warranty and customer service process is managed by AppWright JobCenter too. Customers can even use the order-entry module to enter warranty requests themselves directly on the web.

Being efficient at the design, manufacture, and delivery of engineered roof, flooring, and wall-panel systems is vital to their success. BFS uses AppWright JobCenter nationwide to organize the engineering and manufacturing work related to roof, floor, and wall panel assemblies required in today's complex new home construction environment. Their customers enter new job requests into the AppWright order-entry module and attach data files containing the house design to each order. AppWright JobCenter then routes the new work to the right BFS design professional who creates detailed manufacturing cutting specifications from the customer-supplied plans. Each step in the process is carefully mapped out using job templates and user-defined data screens to keep the workflow as efficient as possible. Critical communications between the customer and the designer are logged using job messaging and all work is archived and available for quick reference in future jobs, saving time and money. Completed designs are sent to manufacturing, who then uses the attached cutting files and customer information to accurately produce the truss assemblies or wall-panels. Even the delivery schedule is organized with AppWright JobCenter. Builders FirstSource also uses JobCenter to manage the ordering, delivery, and installation of inventory specialty items like doors, windows, fireplaces and other items.
