New Jersey City University Selects Projectmates Construction Management Software for Major Projects

Richardson, TX (PRWEB) January 14, 2014

Systemates, Inc. is excited to announce a new partnership with New Jersey City University. With multiple major projects planned, New Jersey City University sought a construction project management software that would efficiently streamline their upcoming construction projects. After reviewing several vendors, NJCU deemed Projectmates to be the best fit.

New Jersey City University recently announced three major construction projects planned: a 103,000 sq. ft. West Campus Academic building, expansion and renovation of their current Science building, and a 415 bed residence hall. In addition, NJCU will also be undertaking several renovation projects designed to meet the needs of their academic programs in coordination with the school’s Facilities Master Plan. As a result of the variety and scope of the projects, NJCU decided to look into a construction management solution that fit the needs of education programs.

“Projectmates demonstrated that it was the best fit for our needs,” said Andrew Christ, Associate Vice President, and Deborah Morales, Associate Director of Facilities and Construction Management. “It is focused on construction project management; has a variety of templates that we can use, provides excellent ‘at your fingertips’ executive reports, is cloud based, and was within budget.”

NJCU’s main needs consisted of a tool that would provide consistent and streamlined processes of their cost tracking. Not only does Projectmates have the ability to streamline workflows, it also stores and manages all related construction data in one location. Because Projectmates is a web-based multi-platform solution, all team members, from project managers through Directors, can input information anywhere at any time.

Additionally, Projectmates’ extensive out-of-the-box reporting feature allows for a snapshot of individual projects as well as the construction program in its entirety. Executive management at NJCU will now have access to project information at a moment’s time, engaging team members and partners in a way that encourages collaboration and provides historical data for future planning needs.

Postmates Launches 1-Hour Delivery in New York City

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 30, 2013

Postmates, the original same day delivery startup based in San Francisco, today announced availability of its one hour service in New York. Operating at the intersection of urban logistics and e-commerce, Postmates provides delivery from any store or restaurant in Manhattan.

Postmates’ mobile app connects its fleet of couriers with customers in New York, providing access to local inventory from the Apple Store, Bloomingdales, Shake Shack, Levain Bakery, Duane-Reade and virtually anywhere else. Postmates’ couriers are equipped with a proprietary courier app and company credit card to purchase items on behalf of their customers. From real-time tracking to digital receipts, the entire delivery process is transparent and cashless.

For local merchants, Postmates offers the opportunity to compete with mass retailers. The startup provides a platform for stores and restaurants to deliver goods to customers anywhere in the city at no cost to their business. With Postmates, the more than 65% of merchants in NYC that don’t offer deliver, now have a full-service option.

“I am excited to introduce Postmates to a city that defines convenience and accessibility,” explained Bastian Lehmann, CEO and co-founder of Postmates. “New York is the ideal market for an on-demand service. Now all of Manhattan is accessible at the touch of a button.”

The existing fleet of nearly 50 Postmates’ couriers in New York consists of bikes, cars, scooters and SUVs. At launch, Postmates will:

     + Deliver from anywhere in Manhattan to the greater Flatiron District (between 42nd and 14th, 8th and Lexington), and will quickly expand throughout the city over the next two months

     + Be available between 8:00am – 3:00am, 7 days a week

     + Start at $ 5 for delivery, but is free during launch week, May 30 – June 5

Postmates is currently live in San Francisco and Seattle and is growing its delivery volume by 20% month on month. In San Francisco, Postmates has increased the number of merchants that deliver from 800 to nearly 3,000 and has successfully processed over $ 1M in deliveries from merchants in San Francisco and Seattle over the last 3 months. The startup plans to launch a new market every two months.

Postmates has raised just over $ 7 million in funding to date from a handful of well-known Silicon Valley angel investors and venture capitalists.: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/postmates.

About Postmates:

Postmates is a revolutionary same day urban logistics and delivery platform that enables individuals to have any product in the city delivered in under an hour. Postmates enables same day delivery by arming couriers with credit cards to purchase goods on behalf of the customer at any retail store or merchant in the city.
