  • Patent number: 10621566
    Abstract: Systems and method for managing a construction payment process. An input is received from a first participant and one of a plurality of stored notification workflows is accessed from a memory based on the information received from the first participant. Each stored notification workflow defines a sequence of automatic electronic notifications that are transmitted from the application server to one or more participants in the construction project in response to one or more predetermined events. Based on the accessed notification workflow, a second participant is identified and a first notification is automatically transmitted to the second participant. A response to the first notification is received from the second participant through an electronic form. The content of the response is automatically processed and a second notification is transmitted to a third participant based on the accessed notification workflow.

  • Publication number: 20140316957
    Abstract: A construction payment management system stores project data stored on a computer-readable memory for a plurality of construction projects. The system accesses stored project data for a first construction project and electronically generates a first request for payment on behalf of a first participant in the first construction project in response to information received by the application server from the first participant. The first request for payment is generated based at least in part on the accessed project data and is displayed to a general contractor for the first construction project. A payment is initiated from a project owner for the first construction project to the first participant based on the first request for payment after receiving approval of the request for payment from the general contractor. The stored project data stored is then updated based on the payment made to the first participant.

  • Publication number: 20120191604
    Abstract: Systems and method for managing a construction payment process. When instructions are executed by a processor, an application server electronically generates a first request for payment on behalf of a first participant in a construction project in response to information received from the first participant. The first request for payment is transmitted to a second participant and a second request for payment is electronically generated on behalf of the second participant based at least in part on the first request for payment. The second request for payment is then transmitted to a payment source. A first payment is initiated from the payment source to the first participant based on the first request for payment. A second payment is initiated from the payment source to the second participant based on the second request for payment.

  • Patent number: 7882004
    Abstract: A system and method for managing a construction payment process. One method embodying the invention can include creating an electronically-executed first request for payment on behalf of a first participant in a construction project, transmitting the first request for payment to a second participant in the construction project, creating an electronically-executed second request for payment based on the first request for payment, transmitting the second request for payment to a payment source in the construction project, directing transmitting a payment to the second participant from the payment source, and directly transmitting a payment to the first participant from the payment source.
