Methodology
"A Balanced Approach"
UpNet CSG utilizes a unique methodology to determine stakeholder interests, assess corporate culture, determine goals, identify pain points and implement a system of accountability with Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) and formal Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). CSG works with each customer to define all KPIs for measuring the performance of their objectives with internal and external partners.
Compliance Platform
Modules
SmartCOMP™ is designed with highly configurable sets of modules that will improve data accuracy by eliminating duplicate efforts and easily maintain records to demonstrate full control of your projects. Each module can be customized to fit your business requirements and can easily adapt to any changing business needs in the future.
Project Administration
The Project Administration Module is the “gate keeper” module of the program. Users with Project Administration access are able to:
- Create new projects
- Assign contractors and subcontractors to projects
- Track approval, status and history for any project
- Navigate Change Order Management
- View subcontractor list for each Project
Contract Compliance
Each project and contract is recorded in the SmartCOMP™ database, including detailed project information, any categories and subcategories (subject to your business requirements) and any further devisions into carious project activities. Once the project is underway, the system will track the progress and compliance status in real-time.
Wage Compliance
The Wage Compliance module collects local, state and/or federal wage regulations and validates them against data entered by contractors and subcontractors. Designed with an online query capability to review the wage by wage decision and by craft.
Workforce Reporting
Collect, manage and verify your contractor's and subcontractor's workforce hours. This module also allows you to create reports.
Partner Relationship Management Program
Partner Relationship Management is the missing piece that fully connects and completes the Business-to-Business (B2B) puzzle. While many companies deploy Vendor Management Systems (VMS) to manage their vendors, there continues to be a disconnect when it comes to the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) and the real-time access to decision making information.
UpNet CSG's Partner Relationship Management Program (PRMP) leverages the iEDeX™ integration technology, providing access to once unattainable data to formulate Stakeholder KPIs while also delivering global data analytics and reporting. As a fast to deploy business transformation solution, iEDeX™ connects, collaborates and provides control of the information flow.
UpNet's PRMP utilizes our full life cycle methodology. We work with stakeholders to identify and quantify business issues, gather requirements and determine what KPIs and other metrics should be used to measure partner performance. Through collaboration with internal and external stakeholders we establish baselines for performance and expectations. We communicate "accountability" as the key element of each step in the process.
Our PRMP is built on an integrated foundation where the data can be shared, with the proper security credentials. It leverages the iEDeX™ integration technology to provide visibility for all parties involved; transparency among various business processes; and with the speed to information, the timely data enables proactive and preventive actions.
