Textura now is able to further customize its industry leading qualification products to serve all the needs of owners, general contractors and construction managers while continuing to offer a streamlined experience for subcontractors.

Patrick Allin, Textura Chairman and CEO stated, "Our clients have provided extremely useful feedback over the last two years on PQM, our qualification management application.  Expanding the product offering into a full suite of qualification management tools allows us to satisfy the industry's prequalification challenges – from the most basic qualification requirements to the most sophisticated."

Allin elaborated, "We were able to expand our prequalification suite while ensuring that our subcontractor clients continue to experience dramatic efficiencies and a superior value proposition.  Subcontractors still only need to enter their information one-time into their private database to produce tailored pre-qualification forms that provide specific information required by individual general contractors – whether the general contractor is on one of our PQM applications or not." 

The full qualification management suite includes the following applications:

• PQM – Business offers a comprehensive yet streamlined standard qualification form to general contractors looking for an out-of-the-box solution at a low price point. 
• PQM – Enterprise adds the ability to customize qualification forms and create multiple review roles, approval routing options and workflows. 
• PQM – Enterprise+ adds sophisticated analytical tools that further automate the qualification review process. 

Jonathan Halloran, Textura EVP Client Services, explained the common capabilities of the product suite, "All of Textura's PQM applications continue to offer workflows that automate much of the data collection and routing that frequently bogs down other qualification programs. Our experienced consulting teams provide expert advice on developing, implementing and operating a qualification program from subcontractor onboarding to periodic redesign and redevelopment.  Our PQM solutions free general contractors and owners to focus on evaluation and decision-making rather than paper-chasing.  All of the PQM solutions allow subcontractors to spend their time seeking and managing work instead of filling out repetitive forms.  Like all our products the new suite of PQM applications includes unlimited support."
