Vela Systems Signs Distribution Agreement With E3Synergy

Vela Systems, a developer of mobile software that streamlines field administration for the AECO (Architecture-Engineering-Construction-Owners) industry, today announced a distribution agreement with E3Synergy for its Vela Software Suite, which will continue Vela’s rapid expansion into the Mid-Atlantic States and West Virginia. E3Synergy is a Meridian Authorized Solution Provider that works with some of the best known architectural firms, engineering companies, and construction organizations in the Mid-Atlantic region to help their clients run projects more smoothly and efficiently toward success. As a value-added reseller, E3Synergy helps its clients install and manage a wide array of AECO technology systems, and will sell Vela’s mobile field software in the Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, DC and West Virginia markets. Vela Systems’ mobile software streamlines and accelerates field administration processes in construction, capital projects and capital equipment management. By replacing the paper and clipboards normally used by field personnel with the easy-to-use Vela Software Suite and Tablet PCs, customers save time, reduce risk, and increase profitability. The Vela Software Suite includes multiple modules, each facilitating and accelerating a specific field administration process of the AECO industry professional. Just as field personnel have used separate pages in a notebook to manage and accomplish each task, project teams use a Vela module focused on specific functions and addressing such things as work lists, field repairs, punch lists, safety issues and other areas. Vela’s modules do more than replace paper; they also incorporate electronic plans and documents, photos and even digital recordings to ensure field information is accurately captured and quickly distributed to all relevant parties. Vela Systems’ software is a stand-alone system that needs no other applications to deliver strong results to customers. However, Vela Systems can automatically integrate with Prolog for field data collection and management. As a result, all information on schedules, punch lists, companies and contacts can be automatically synchronized and updated on both the Vela-enabled Tablet PCs and in Meridian applications. This integrated functionality has been featured in a case study published by Meridian Systems that demonstrates how Tocci Building Corporation is saving potentially millions of dollars by using Vela Systems with Prolog to automatically track punch lists, capture sub-standard work and then hold subcontractors accountable (send email to info@velasystems.com to receive a copy of this case study). “We’ve long thought that the construction industry needed high quality mobile field software to speed up projects and elevate quality,” said Mark Richards, principal at E3Synergy. “Vela is already a valuable solution all on its own and, when used together with Prolog as Tocci Building Corp. has done, clients can use Vela to identify millions of dollars of defective punch list items in Vela before the subcontractors have left the job, and then use Prolog to ensure that the necessary repairs get done. This is a challenge for which many of our clients have been looking for a good technology solution, and I’m glad to say, we can now provide it to them.” “Our rapid growth is furthered through partnerships with best-in-class organizations like E3Synergy,” said Tim Curran, CEO of Vela Systems. “We’re pleased that Vela also enables customers to benefit from E3Synergy’s expertise in project management and in Meridian Systems software so that they can overcome their project challenges.” About E3Synergy:
