Aconex has been selected to service a series of projects for Italian contractor Mangiavacchi Pedercini S.P.A. The web-based Aconex platform will be used to manage information and link the organizations involved in each of the developments.

Founded in 1951, Mangiavacchi Pedercini specializes in infrastructure, residential and commercial projects on behalf of both private and government clients. By using Aconex, Mangiavacchi Pedercini and its project partners will be able to instantly access, distribute, track and archive their project data including drawings, documents and correspondence.

Ing. Mangiavacchi, Chairman of Mangiavacchi Pedercini, said:”When our projects reach a certain size, particularly in excess of €5 million (US$8m) in construction value, they significantly increase in complexity. There are more organizations, more team members and more information that needs to be exchanged and tracked.

“With many years’ experience in the construction industry, Aconex can provide us with a document and mail management system to meet our needs, and also advise on the best industry processes for managing information.

“One of the main benefits is being able to manage our database of suppliers and their certification process via a central system. All our suppliers know from the beginning that Aconex will be the collaboration platform, helping us to roll out new projects within days.”

Mangiavacchi added, “Overall, Aconex improves the information process on each of our projects and I can focus on my primary activity as a developer. This is something I’ve been dreaming of for a decade.”

Yuval Attias, Aconex Regional Director Europe, said: “Particularly in the current climate, contractors are under increasing pressure to protect their margins and deliver successful projects. By improving efficiency and reducing the direct costs of managing information, Aconex can help firms to achieve this.

Attias added: “From the moment companies select Aconex, we aim to make everything as easy as possible. Following a fast implementation, we allow unlimited users, unlimited data storage and offer unlimited local support. This helps to drive high adoption and usage levels across the project team so that our clients receive the maximum value from their investment.”
