Comdata, Constructware Announce Best-in-Class Purchasing Card Process; New alliance between industry leaders provides seamless flow and control of construction purchasing process.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. & ATLANTA -- Comdata Corporation, a leading provider of electronic payment solutions, and Constructware, a leading provider of communication and collaboration software solutions for the design and construction industry, announce the integration of Comdata's BusinessLink suite of payment products with Constructware's Cost Management functionality for seamless project management that tracks, reports and controls expenditures in significantly less time through a project-specific credit card.

Constructware will offer the Comdata-integrated corporate payment card as a standard feature to its existing clients as well as to new customers.

Using Comdata's BusinessLink platform, Constructware customers can streamline the field purchasing process common to all construction projects while increasing visibility into the organization's overall project spend. Additionally, the Comdata BusinessLink application helps reduce the cost and risk associated with managing discretionary business expenses like purchasing, travel & entertainment, fleet fueling and even payroll delivery.

The BusinessLink platform also gives companies the ability to control card use according to their business rules in a real-time environment. These purchasing cards can be restricted to specific uses--and users--in compliance with company policy at the point of purchase, prior to receipt of invoice or expense report.

"This offers a solution to one of the biggest issues facing senior project managers and CFOs in this industry--what is my cost exposure out in the field at any given time?" Brian Moore, Constructware vice president of program management and development, said. "The electronic exchange capability captures, transfers, documents and routes purchasing information so a project manager can access detail about all purchases in the field within 24 hours of the purchase. Today, that typically takes 30 to 40 days."

"The alliance with Constructware is a perfect fit. It marks the first integration of Comdata's BusinessLink platform in the construction industry," Brett Rodewald, Comdata executive vice president and general manager for transportation services, said. "In effect, this creates seamless control over a project's cost sheet. BusinessLink brings the tracking, reporting, and customer service necessary to significantly enhance the cost management process for construction operations."
