Streamlined Pay Application Management.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Pros
- Signatures + notary.
- Lien waiver tracking.
- Sends reminder emails.
- Informs us when a draw is open.
Cons
- Signatory workflow - Logging into the signatory and notary in the same process. There isn't as much separation as there could be.
- We could use a place to put in our job number. Running reports to ensure we billed everything in our system matches what's in Textura isn't easy because there are different job names.
- If our authorized signer inadvertently fails to execute the application and the GC closes the draw period, it appears as though the pay application was never submitted. From what I can see, there is no clear audit trail reflecting that it had been prepared or pending signature prior to the draw closing.
Return on Investment
- We’ve reduced billing-related back-and-forth with GCs.
- Lien waiver compliance is more controlled and tracked.
- Cash flow is easier to predict because we receive payment notifications when they are initiated.
