Four Textura Solutions Named Constructech Commercial Top Products for 2015

PQM, Latista, PlanSwift and BidOrganizer Recognized by Editors of Construction Technology Publication

CHICAGO, March 11, 2015 /CNW/ -- Textura Corporation (NYSE: TXTR), the leading provider of collaboration solutions for the construction industry, announced that four of its solutions - Pre-Qualification Management™, Latista®, PlanSwift®, and BidOrganizer® - have been named winners of Constructech magazine's commercial Top Products awards for 2015.

Pre-Qualification Management (PQM™), Latista and PlanSwift were recognized by the editors of Constructech in the Trusted Product category. The awards honor technology solutions that have demonstrated the greatest innovation geared toward the commercial market. The Trusted Product category is for solutions that have been in the market for at least three years. Winning products are selected based on several criteria, including the product's overall usefulness and uniqueness to the construction industry, as well as customer adoption and product growth, according to Constructech.

PQM is a cloud-based data management solution that streamlines and automates the subcontractor prequalification process, enabling general contractors to efficiently and effectively manage robust prequalification programs. PQM facilitates the electronic submission, review/approval and updating of all prequalification documents. The tool helps general contractors to optimize processes; reduce their own and subcontractors' administrative burdens; and mitigate risk by selecting the best-value bids.

Latista is a secure, cloud-based and mobile field management solution that reduces costly rework, delays and paperwork while increasing efficiencies for construction companies. Latista combines the power of mobile technology - cloud, tablets, connectivity - with secure, intuitive software to save contractors time and money.

PlanSwift is a fast and easy-to-use software for accurately completing takeoffs. With PlanSwift's visual point-and-click interface, users can drag and drop individual products and assembled product groups directly onto a digitized blueprint. PlanSwift calculates the takeoffs automatically, reducing time and effort. PlanSwift in January was also named one of Constructech's residential Top Products for 2015.

BidOrganizer was recognized in the New Product category, which comprises technology offerings that have been on the market for two years or less. BidOrganizer is a powerful construction bid tracking solution that helps contractors to qualify invites, track bids and win the best projects for their business. BidOrganizer enables strategic bidding, eliminates action on irrelevant opportunities and focuses contractors' bid pipeline.

Patrick Allin, Chairman and CEO of Textura, stated: "We are honored that Constructech has recognized several of our solutions as Top Products for 2015.
