SBI Builders Announces Use of Textura-Construction Payment Management to Streamline the Payment Process


SBI utilizes Textura's CPM application to track preliminary notices through to final payment.

SAN JOSE, Calif. and CHICAGO - SBI Builders, Inc., a general contractor known for multi-family and affordable housing throughout California, is pleased to announce its adoption of Textura-Construction Payment Management (CPM) for all invoicing, lien waiver collection, compliance and payment. SBI is using CPM to optimize and automate the construction payment process.

James Amlicke, CEO and Chief Financial Officer, started with SBI four years ago after successful careers in financial services and as an entrepreneur launching three successful businesses. In financial services he served as Chief Technology Officer at Weiss, Peck and Greerand Robeco Investment Management with over $45 Billion under management. Amlicke said, "My first project experience at SBI Builders involved responding to a hard bid opportunity. The entire process was handled via fax and spreadsheet! I was shocked to learn how little automation and technology was available in this industry."

"With my technology background I knew the degree of automation that is possible," elaborated Amlicke. "I immediately began a process to build a solution to automate the invoicing and payment processes. Very soon afterwards I came across Textura's website and realized that they already had a thoughtful and robust solution. It was clear they had done more than just scratch the surface - and had developed an incredible solution. And furthermore - that no one else offered a similar solution. I immediately decided to adopt their solution for SBI."

Patrick Allin, Textura CEO and Founder, said, "We warmly welcome SBI as a client. With Jim Amlicke's background and experience he immediately saw the value of CPM's electronic invoicing and payment capabilities to automate SBI's processes and for the construction industry. As do many of our clients, SBI also uses CPM to track preliminary notices, enabling them to track from notice to final payment, automating the whole process."

Integration between Textura-CPM and SBI's accounting system, Sage / Timberline, was very important. It brings together all system components. Amlicke s said, "There are too many holes in the technology solutions available. Textura's focus on providing integration capabilities with other systems ensures a holistic solution with financial integrity that eliminates the need for subcontractor invoice data entry."
