• Lead Tracking Report. Extract valuable lead tracking information into a printable document.

These documents and reports are now live for all ConstructionOnline pro users, and can be found on the Lead Tracking and GamePlan pages.

When our potential clients consider starting a ConstructionOnline account, they are making a decision that is an investment in their companies' future success.

To speed up the logging creation process, you can now copy a project log to a new date and edit it as needed. UDA has seen multiple requests for these features, and we are thrilled to turn those requests into real, useful enhancements.
