October 8, 2008 by admin
Webview is our internet-based, companion product for your existing IBSWIN solution. Webview places key IBSWIN functionality on the Internet and streamlines the ways in which you interact with home owners, home buyers, and subcontractors.
Modules
Webview is based on a modular design, use only those modules that fit your needs:
- InterestView – Capture and process prospect information right from the Internet. Create customized demographic questionnaires and analyze them with our demographic analysis report.
- BuyerView – Allow your home buyers to browse available housing options anywhere they have Internet access. Include pictures and pricing to turn your home buyers experience into an online picture catalog. You can also electronically distribute documents to your home buyers!
- ServiceView – Allow your home owners to submit service requests directly from their browser and alleviate phone traffic to your company. You can also electronically distribute documents to your home owners!
- SubView – Electronically distribute purchase orders and other documents to your subcontractors complete with document tracking. Additionally, your subcontractors can submit plan and options bids directly from their web browser; forget about faxing and mailing hundreds of documents back and forth!
- IBSWIN E-Blast – Send E-Blasts (mass e-mails) to your home owners, home buyers, and subcontractors with Webview’s simple interface.
Additional Functionality
Webview also supports the following capabilities:
- Virtually all of the Webview setup is maintained in IBSWIN, giving you complete control over what appears on the Internet.
- Webview and IBSWIN can automatically synchronize data between themselves; data captured on the Internet is imported into IBSWIN automatically!
- All Webview modules are capable of sending E-Blasts (mass e-mails) to appropriate users within the system, i.e. SubView can E-Blast your subcontractors.
- Webview’s appearance is fully customizable, embed it directly into your existing company web site!
Internet-Based Benefits
Since Webview is an internet-based solution, it provides the added benefits:
- We host, update, and maintain Webview ourselves; you will always be using the latest version of Webview!
- Internet-based applications are easier to distribute to your users; hook them up to the internet and they’re ready to go. There’s nothing to install!
- Put your prospects, home buyers, home owners, and subcontractors to work for you! The more data they enter into Webview, the less your employees have to enter themselves. Webview will decrease your business’s data-entry labor and mistakes.

06/2008 — IBSWIN expands its market focus
June 2, 2008 by mikek99
Pharaoh Information Services has expanded its market focus into two (2) other areas that are directly related to our traditional “Production Homebuilder” market. These new markets include:
- Custom Homebuilders
We have created a total solution for custom homebuilders that includes Sage Master Builder, the leading construction software product for small and medium sized homebuilders. In addition, we have created a Web based add-on called MasterView that provides a direct link to homebuyers and subcontractors in similar way that our Webview does for production homebuilders. MasterView provides a direct link to the project and vendor information in MasterBuilder and uses the power of the Internet to improve the daily communication to homebuyers and subcontractors. The initial release of MasterView will be available later in summer 2008. - Service Management
Another related industry that Pharaoh is helping provide solutions is the service contractor market. Rather than actually developing new software and re-inventing the wheel, we are providing assistance to small and medium sized service contract companies find the “right” software solution for their company. We have identified several leading products for this industry and are working with the various software manufacturers and dealers to provide competitive solutions. For small service contractors, especially those using QuickBooks for accounting, we have identified dESCO as a great fit for these types of companies. For medium to larger service management companies that are looking for a complete solution, we provide Sage’s Service Management suite of products as an ideal solution. Contact us at 866-813-0398 or sales@ibswin.com for further information on these solutions.
