Hess to manage ongoing gas station and retail development projects.
Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) September 13, 2006 -- e-Builder, a leader in on-demand construction project management and collaboration systems, today announced that Hess Corporation has selected its web-based solution to manage its new gas station and retail development projects, plus station refurbishing across the east coast.
Hess Corporation (formerly Amerada Hess) has combined innovation and growth to become the leading independent retailer on the U.S. East Coast, with over 1,350 retail marketing facilities serving customers in 14 states from Massachusetts to Florida. As the company continues to expand its network of Hess Express convenience stores, e-Builder will serve as the project management and collaboration hub for the construction of new stations and the renovation of existing ones.
The deal allows Hess to manage the entitlement, planning, design, and construction phases of its new gas and retail stations, as well as existing station renovations online with the e-Builder solution. On-time, on-budget project completion for Hess’s new retail locations is essential for the company to maintain and improve healthy profit margins. The online tool lets Hess significantly reduce the time needed to complete these construction and renovation projects by enabling a streamlined communication and collaboration process.
The resulting time savings will ensure stations and retail outlets open faster, providing increased revenue and competitive advantage. "We have been looking for an affordable, web based collaborative software tool that will help streamline our development process. We believe that we have found that tool with e-Builder" Said Tim O’Connor, Hess VP of Construction.
