Get Answers to IT Problems and Software Questions at New Builder Tech Forums at IBS
NAHB’s Business Management & IT Committee will present three Builder Technology Forums at the 2005 International Builders’ Show. The forums will provide builders with information about selecting software to help them run their businesses more efficiently.
The forums will be moderated by panels of builders and software vendors who will tell attendees about pitfalls to avoid and the best way to use technology to increase profits. The forums are not sales presentations.
“This is a great opportunity to hear from everyone — people who produce and sell business software and builders who use it — about what works and what doesn’t,” says John Barrows, a custom builder in Wainscott, NY, who helped plan the forums.
The topics of the Builder Technology Forums are:
- Financial Control (Job Costing & Purchasing) Software
- Project Management Software
- Sales Automation Software
