Starting by replacing the purchasing spreadsheets with a powerful centralized solution, Shaman Software created a foundation that dramatically improved administrative efficiency and effectiveness.  Once complete, Ullman has continued to expand the solution capabilities with several additional modules maximizing solution return on investment.

The solution includes:

  • Central product module makes data entry fast and accurate.
  • Conditional output formatting special cut sheets and concatonating those with transmittals, submittals, and the purchase order into a single PDF.
  • Line item level tracking to track shipments via UPS, USPS, FedEX, DHL, and ONTRACK making it easy to see shipments that have been shipped and know exactly when it will arrive on the job site.

  • Document Management allows users to manage all their media related to a job, all of its purchase orders and revisions, and documents they may be waiting to be signed and returned.
