MARK SYSTEMS this week announced the debut of IHMSWeb, delivering it’s award winning enterprise management system as a web-based service using a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.

According to Donald Scattergood, Vice President, “IHMSWeb is a hosted implementation of our Integrated Homebuilder Management System. Taking full advantage of the thin-client capabilities inherent in our java-based software, IHMSWeb gives builders of any size instant access to the unmatched integration and capabilities of IHMS.”

“I’ve been a home builder for years with companies of all sizes, and I’ve seen lot’s of different attempts to develop systems that mirror a builder’s processes. MARK SYSTEMS’ IHMS already has everything we could want.” said Marc Jungers, President of Grandview Builders in Houston. “In starting this company, though, we needed to minimize our capital expenditures. IHMSWeb gave us a better product than I’d ever used at a cost that’s less than a typical cell phone bill”.

Completely web-based, IHMSWeb brings every facet of the full IHMS enterprise software directly to the desktop of any builder, anywhere, instantly. IHMSWeb includes all back office functionality, with multi-company Accounting, Purchasing, Scheduling and Warranty, along with Sales / CRM, and Selections Management. Dynamic web pages for field personnel, trade partners and customers, along with automatic email notification are standard components.

“Delivery of the software as a service, via the web, was a direct benefit of our move to a Java implementation,” according to Mark Finelli, President of MARK SYSTEMS. “Our single SQL database, coupled with the power and platform independence of the Java language, let’s us give builders the full capabilities of our IHMS enterprise software without any capital investment. Because we’re hosting the software, we’ve pre-loaded much of the data, so that a builder can be using the software in weeks, not months.”

“We’ve priced IHMSWeb very aggressively” said Scattergood. “A minimal monthly fee provides 24/7 access, backup services and system monitoring. Our per-house charges are the lowest in the industry, and our pay-as-you-build model lets builders match expenditures to actual jobs. We want to make IHMS the industry standard for every builder.”
