Constructech magazine reveals winners of 2011 Vision Awards, HTS celebrates wins with major industry players
Carol Stream, ILL, September 15, 2011 – HTS celebrated its third consecutive year of acclaim as a technology enabler at the Constructech Vision Awards ceremony last evening. HTS took the stage four times as Kaiser Permanente, Rady Children’s Hospital, Mercy Medical Center, and Capparelli/KHS&S Contractors were each honored for incorporating innovative technology (HTS FreightTrain® software) to improve their business and achieve industry greatness.
This year’s gold award (HTS’s third in a row) came in the Corporate Owner: Healthcare category with Kaiser Permanente. Kaiser has been utilizing HTS FreightTrain since 2005, recently having completed the Kaiser Permanente Ontario Vineyard Medical Center (KPOVMC) in California. Used for construction management, commissioning, and transition planning, FreightTrain helped the KPOVMC team communicate, collaborate, measure, and manage their project, closing out with an overall inspection success rate near 90%, one of the highest measured by FreightTrain.
HTS continued to sweep the Corporate Owner: Healthcare category as Rady Children’s Hospital and Mercy Medical
Center were presented with silver awards. While Rady and Kaiser utilized FreightTrain for construction management all three owner-winners consulted HTS for transition planning with great success, illustrating the importance of technology throughout the life-cycle of a construction project.
Capping off the evening, Capparelli/KHS&S Contractors took home a silver award for the Specialty Contractor: Drywall category. Capparelli leveraged FreightTrain to monitor work and reached an inspection success rate of 97%, the benchmark for the industry. According to Paul Thomas, HTS Chief Executive Officer, “I am extremely honored by these awards, and by the opportunity to collaborate with our fellow award-winners. HTS strives to meet the technology needs of an industry that is rapidly evolving; these awards are a wonderful confirmation that FreightTrain is on track as the premier industry solution.”
