Although simple to the end-user, one of CIPO’s most complex behind-the-scenes innovations is its dynamic, module-based document management and controls. This feature allows your organization to adapt the CIPO platform quickly and customize it to meet your specific construction management needs, including terminology, templates, positions, and business workflows.
Here are some standard out-of-the-box modules part of the CIPO Starter Pack. However, CIPO is not restrictive. The modules listed will vary based on your business's operational needs. The platform adapts to your needs and, in most cases, connects different organizational departments.
Have you ever missed a submittal status update? CIPO allows you to search, select, sort, and compile submittals based on pre-configured priorities. Submittals will be accurately reported to management and your partners, while the design engineers and contractors can prioritize, ensuring consistency and adherence to document turnaround time and project schedule.
Empower your inspectors or consultants to capture truthful field data on the go from any device (mobile, tablet, laptops). No need to download an app, or sync with yet another system. CIPO helps keep all data centralized, relatable, and accessible in real-time for just-in-time collaboration.
Based on our very flexible and configurable workflow engine (business process automation), this module allows authorized project members to submit, review, collaborate, track, and relate RFIs. After that, a complete audit trail is generated and searchable, which ensures a proper record of all decisions, discussions, and changes.
Create, manage, and track your change orders with just a few clicks. In this module, you can either have your Contractor start from scratch or give him the ability to select, sort, and compile from multiple potential change orders, saving time, and ensuring accuracy.
Paying your contractors efficiently and correctly is essential. Controlling the progress payment workflow is critical. Progress Payments module allows you to ensure that the right information is accessible to the right individuals, and approved in a timely fashion.
CIPO Cloud enables our customers to start the journey towards an efficient and paperless environment by giving them the ability to sign documents digitally. eSignatures improves document turnaround time, without paper waste or time chasing the right signors. All of our modules allow you to configure workflows and to specify required digital signatures at any point in the workflow.
CIPO has an easy to use Project Archive interface, that creates a zip file containing all the select project data. Standardized based on your Project Files structure, CIPO makes it easy.
