Performance Contractors, Inc. has previously used Intergraph SmartPlant Spoolgen®, a proven, industrial-strength application that enables the creation of piping isometric drawings for fabrication and erection from the design created during the detail engineering phase of projects. During a thorough consultation with Intergraph product experts about Spoolgen use, Performance Contractors identified a challenge within its material management process and decided to purchase and implement SmartPlant Materials, Intergraph's best-in-class integrated solution for life cycle material, supply chain and subcontract management.

SmartPlant Materials is the only solution available on the market that fully supports the unique materials management processes needed in the process, power and marine industries. Performance Contractors chose SmartPlant Materials to improve reporting, materials management and procurement, resulting in a reduction of time and materials to complete projects, fewer errors and more transparency, better quality assurance and control, and cost savings.

Performance Contractors Project Coordinator/Manager Courtney Debetaz said, "SmartPlant Materials gives us the visibility, across all four of our fabrication facilities, to accurately procure the materials needed and give a more accurate schedule of completion to our customers – while reducing material handling costs and material overages on all of our projects."

Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine's President, said, "Intergraph is pleased to strengthen our ongoing partnership with Performance Contractors and provide solutions required for one of the largest projects in their company history. This is another step for Intergraph as we continue expanding our footprint within the global fabrication industry."
