This feature allows the client to assign two or more project members to verify the changes, like budget, before finalizing the project. In addition, the client can add additional steps to the workflow, which detects the changed order and sends the documents to the appropriate project members for their signature and authorization. CIPO Cloud automates many labor-intensive processes and workflows that construction companies utilized in the past with such features. As these capabilities allow the clients to improve the efficiency of their projects and programs, CIPO Cloud software is a lifesaver for construction owners. Ivascu recalls the story of one such client, Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD), who approached CIPO Cloud with an issue associated with system reliability, among other items. The cost of maintaining the client's previous proprietary system was significantly higher than in the last years, and support for the service had become problematic. In addition, the client struggled with multiple data silos that existed across several locations. After understanding the client's needs and challenges, CIPO stepped in to help them with a fixed-cost solution. Subsequently, the company centralized their data, which allowed the client to find all the information on a single platform and gain massive efficiencies throughout the management of their Capital Program. "With the CIPO Cloud software, we are now able to maximize our efforts toward digitalizing our construction management operations through an advanced, reliable, user-friendly platform. CIPO is helping us build towards the future," said Scott Lopian, EMWD, Senior Construction Administrator.Such success stories stem from CIPO's technical prowess and experience catering to their client's unique challenges. To augment their clients' operational excellence, the company continues to add new capabilities to the platform. With its latest addition, Virtual Drawings, the company allows its clients to centralize all their design documents and share them across project members. This feature also enables users to view the complete lifecycle and the communication between project members. With Virtual Drawings, CIPO allows a user access to their project plans and the ability to markup, link documents, communicate and identify changes to the Contract documents in the field. CIPO plans to further enhance these capabilities by adding new functionality and enabling customers to use the drawings. CIPO intends to help its clients manage and deliver their projects cost-effectively and make a long-lasting impact in the construction technology landscape with such features and functionalities.
