The Ensign Services, Inc., formed in 1999, provides highly skilled nursing and rehabilitative services across the United States. With a strong desire to further expand its extensive real estate portfolio, Ensign Services currently supports 207 healthcare facilities, thirty-five of which are owned, sixteen hospice agencies, sixteen home health agencies, three home care businesses and seventeen urgent care clinics across 14 states. The organization is actively seeking new opportunities to acquire and develop new real estate, utilizing Projectmates to ensure that any construction projects along the way are managed with maximum efficiency.
Andy Ashton, Director of Construction and Renovation Services at Ensign Services, once spoke at the 2013 Construction Owners Association of
America Leadership Conference. Ashton was part of a roundtable discussion where three different owners discussed the merits of implementing
construction program management software
and how solutions such as Projectmates vastly improved their construction workflow. "We've only had our system in place for four months but it
has completely transformed in that four month period the way we go about our business," said Ashton during the conference roundtable.
Integration of Projectmates with Ensign Services' accounting software allows contractors and vendors to enter their invoices online in Projectmates,
route the invoices through an electronic approval process, and then automatically send approved invoices to their Accounting system for processing
payments. "This is going to save so much time in double entry. This is huge for us!" said Ashton.
