PCL Announces Adoption of Textura in the US and Canada for Construction
Payment Management
After extensive study and development of a strong business case, PCL has
embraced Textura for all construction project invoicing, compliance monitoring
and payments.







EDMONTON, Alberta and CHICAGO, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Textura Corporation is
pleased to announce that PCL has become a client in both the United States and
Canada.  US rollout began last month and Canadian implementation begins this
month.

PCL will use Textura to automate subcontractor invoicing, collection of lien
waivers in the US and automated tracking of compliance documents and
electronic payments.  PCL expects that the use of Textura will deliver
significant efficiencies throughout their accounting and project management
organizations.  


Glen Anderson, PCL VP Finance and Administration for Canadian Operations, said
"The current financial environment means we have to be as efficient as
possible for our clients.  We saw firsthand through a pilot project how
Textura streamlined the entire payment application process.  We also saw the
positive subcontractor experience.  This real life field experience combined
with a very strong business case made the decision to use Textura very easy." 



Interfaces between Textura and PCL's accounting system establish financial
integrity while eliminating data entry.  Brian Ranger, PCL General Manager for
Systems and Technology, said "Textura closely collaborated with us to ensure
that their interfaces worked correctly in our systems environment.  They
ensured thorough testing with our methodology before user sign-off and
deployment.  This gave us a great deal of confidence that everything would
work correctly from the moment of 'go-live'."   


Patrick Allin, Textura CEO, says "PCL represents an important milestone for
our organization.  PCL is the largest Canadian GC and a top 10 GC in the US. 
They followed a rigorous process to investigate and assess Textura's
application and fit with their organization.  This ensured extensive buy-in
throughout their organization for the implementation launch.  We especially
appreciate how they have teamed with us to define the functionality needed for
the Canadian marketplace."  


Bruce Lowell, PCL Director of Finance and Administration for US, added "This
has been a quick and seemingly effortless software implementation.  Textura
was ready to go when we were and worked on site with each project office for
training and project start-up.  Project teams have been very enthusiastic and
look forward to dramatic new efficiencies in the review and processing of
payment applications."
