Scheduler Plus
February 28, 2009 by ZZadmin123
Scheduler Plus is designed to keep scheduling simple. Unlike generic scheduling software, it was specifically created for residential home builders. As a result, much of the complex set-up procedures have been eliminated. The reports were designed by and for construction managers to provide simple and concise information about each home under construction. What makes it even more valuable is its integration with the other modules and its ability to automatically manage and update your option cutoff dates.
Plotting of each lot and plan/elevation
Provides fast and easy set-up of your lot information. Supports both predetermined construction sequence set-up, as well as lot by lot scheduling.
Calendar Set-up
Easy calendar set-up allows you to determine your non-working days. Provides for both standard (Saturday/Sunday) non-working days and other holidays.
Master Schedules
Provides easy one time setup of your construction tasks and the ability tailor it for each construction phase.
Unlimited Task Definition
Depending on the complexity of the product type you are building, you can set up as many tasks as required. Certain tasks can be flagged as "milestone" tasks for management reporting purposes.
Easy Working Schedule Generation
Initial generation of the "working schedule" is fast and easy. Just tell the system the lots you want to schedule, the master schedule you want to use, and the day you want to start construction.
Simplified schedule updates
As you update your schedule on a daily or weekly basis actual the system automatically provides a revised schedule with newly updated dates for the remaining tasks for each lot.
Field Updating via TracTime®
Scheduler Plus even provides updating in the field via TracTime® using pocket PC’s.
Reporting the way you want to see it
The Scheduler Plus system provides many reporting options. You can "condition" the output to print only what you want to see. For example, print only the tasks that affect the plumbing contractor for all the lots.
Scheduler Plus provides your construction department with a valuable tool to communicate the status of construction for management purposes in a fast efficient manner. In addition, by interfacing with the other IBSWIN Modules, option cut-off problems can be greatly reduced.

06/2008 — IBSWIN expands its market focus
June 2, 2008 by mikek99
Pharaoh Information Services has expanded its market focus into two (2) other areas that are directly related to our traditional “Production Homebuilder” market. These new markets include:
- Custom Homebuilders
We have created a total solution for custom homebuilders that includes Sage Master Builder, the leading construction software product for small and medium sized homebuilders. In addition, we have created a Web based add-on called MasterView that provides a direct link to homebuyers and subcontractors in similar way that our Webview does for production homebuilders. MasterView provides a direct link to the project and vendor information in MasterBuilder and uses the power of the Internet to improve the daily communication to homebuyers and subcontractors. The initial release of MasterView will be available later in summer 2008. - Service Management
Another related industry that Pharaoh is helping provide solutions is the service contractor market. Rather than actually developing new software and re-inventing the wheel, we are providing assistance to small and medium sized service contract companies find the “right” software solution for their company. We have identified several leading products for this industry and are working with the various software manufacturers and dealers to provide competitive solutions. For small service contractors, especially those using QuickBooks for accounting, we have identified dESCO as a great fit for these types of companies. For medium to larger service management companies that are looking for a complete solution, we provide Sage’s Service Management suite of products as an ideal solution. Contact us at 866-813-0398 or sales@ibswin.com for further information on these solutions.
