About Kahua Conclusion Through the implementation of Kahua on all new projects, Clark Construction has realized considerable productivity gains through improved usability, streamlined and efficient process execution, seamless integration with its ERP system and other essential applications as well as a platform to develop and launch apps quickly. As further testament to the success of the project, Clark has deployed Kahua on over 50 projects valued at over $5 billion. In November of 2014, Clark made a commitment to standardize and deploy Kahua on all new projects. all subcontractors to submit their daily reports via a simple form that captures information such as work descriptions, labor types and quantity. Upon submission of the subcontractors' reports, the system automatically compiles them into a master report for review and completion by the superintendent. Depending on the size of the project, this process saves Clark one to two hours per day and ensures that comprehensive daily reports are completed. Since Kahua already has a number of out-of-the-box integrations with a number of leading technologies, seamless integration is a reality and far less complicated than with Clark's previous systems. With Kahua's open API, Clark was able to integrate with its ERP system, as well as other third party applications such as Bluebeam and DocuSign. If users have the Bluebeam application installed on their PCs, they can click on any attached file in Kahua and immediately open the file in Bluebeam, mark it up and close it, which automatically saves the file back into Kahua when finished. Integrate, Not Re-Create The rapid app development capabilities of the Kahua platform have enabled Clark to develop apps quickly and cost efficiently. The flexibility of the Kahua platform enables Clark to modify existing apps rather than re-create them. Using this approach, Clark was able to modify various apps to meet its specific requirements. Clark now uses this approach for submittals, RFIs, daily reports and change orders, resulting in workflow improvements. Rapid App Development
