PlanWell Enterprise™ is an online planroom that combines the services of Ford Graphics with a powerful web application to help you better manage your construction documents.
- Find any plan at the click of a mouse, and never lose one again!
- Manage and track the users of your project plans and specs; know who got what and when.
- Order prints and arrange for their delivery; your reprographer does the printing and distribution.
- Compile a historical record of your project and archive your plans and specs in real time as documents are added to your planroom.
Managing Your Documents With PlanWell Enterprise:
Order plan documents from your web browser.
Choosing plans is as simple as navigating a directory structure similar to the directory on your computer. Once you’ve made your selection, place an order with detailed production instructions. Order on account, indicate payment upon delivery, or use a credit card to pay for your drawings.
Set up delivery or distribution online.
Plan sets and even single sheets can be ordered with detailed and individual distribution instructions, or you can simply match full sets of drawings to their intended recipients and indicate how you want them delivered.
Quickly view plans online.
Examine plans in detail with a built-in TIF file viewer or with the Acrobat Reader browser plug-in.
Conveniently organize project plans in public or private planrooms.
You can post plans in Public Planrooms with no access restrictions, or in a Private Planroom with usernames and passwords required. You can even choose to make only specific documents available to “Guests” who log in with special permissions.
Access the “Most Current Set” in one click.
Whenever you choose to view or order the “Most Current Set,” the database compiles the most recently posted plan regardless of whether older versions of the plan exist in earlier issues.
Maintain and organize past issues of plans.
Drawings can be maintained in their own separate directory throughout the life of the project. If you post the first concept sketch, you’ll be able to find it easily and quickly even if you’re deep into the building phase. No document is ever “overwritten” in PlanWell Enterprise.
Allow planroom access and ordering directly from an email.
Links to the planroom can be included in email and the recipient need only click on that link to enter. No passwords to remember, just fast access to the planroom. You can set up the order ahead of time so subs or consultants need only click on “Submit Order” once they’ve entered the planroom.
Import names and contact information into the Address Book from popular desktop software.
If your team members are listed in Word, Excel, Outlook or other application that allows you to export text, you can import them straight into PlanWell Enterprise’s Address Book. Once there, you can search and organize contacts for use in distributions, order and change notifications, and even broadcast email.
Alert team members to document changes through notifications in the planroom or via email broadcasts.
Notify your team members of changes, addenda, revisions or even updates of bid documents with pop-up windows inside PlanWell Enterprise, or through the Address Book’s powerful email features.
Planholders List tracks plan recipients and their orders.
View your planholders list three different ways - with contact information only; with a detailed listing of orders by recipient, date or order number; or by listing the recipients who have received a particular sheet or set.
Construction Documents:
When you want them, where you want them, how you want them.
