Commercials – CVR & Forecasting

COINS CVR and Forecasting is a new module that is designed to deliver greater visibility of contract performance information throughout an organisation.  It is a tool for quantity surveyors, commercial managers and commercial directors to assist in the timely production of monthly cost value reconciliations, end day forecasts and cash forecasts.  COINS have managed to maintain the surveyor's love of spreadsheets by optionally generating Excel Spreadsheets using information held in the COINS central repository and distributing them to the appropriate manager. Once he/she has updated it with relevant information, the spreadsheet may be sent back to the COINS system, where it updates the central repository. The “checking out” and “checking in” of these spreadsheets is monitored by COINS thereby assisting in the collection of contract performance details and the subsequent production of detailed management reports and forecasts. 

Bonds and Guarantees

The new COINS Bonds and Guarantees module allows an organisation to track and monitor bonds and guarantees to ensure that it can provide enough security to its clients for their projects.  Without adequate facilities, construction companies cannot offer a financial guarantee to the potential client and will not be awarded the business.  Careful monitoring of the facilities available and the existing usage of their facilities is therefore a business critical area.
 
Bonds and Guarantees tracks all aspects of an organisation's facilities and allows interactive and proactive management of the facilities and bonds.  Comprehensive reporting, including detailed graphical analysis is also possible.

The system is fully integrated with the COINS Company Information and Project Information Workbenches whilst using existing COINS Companies to differentiate certain system features.  Bonds and Guarantees is capable of using multi currency (with an exchange rate history table) on bonds and premiums, therefore ensuring that bonds covering international work can also be managed.

Bonds and Guarantees can also be run as a stand alone module using defaults for companies, projects and clients that can be edited for each bond entry.

Written in Open Architecture, the system uses the latest technology including reporting, graphs and configurable screens with appropriate licensing.
