Labor Hours and Cost to budget, Equipment Hours and Cost to budget, Material cost to budget and
contracts to 3rd party vendors to budget. The assimilation of this information is automatic and a project
may be analyzed with a couple of mouse clicks, a graph generated to represent Actual to Budget
Spending with a couple more mouse clicks, or, the detail cost records exported to (.PDF, .HTML,
.XLS, .DOC, or CSV for import to other software for further analysis).
The Project Estimator provides a tool for estimating projects by Labor (Hours & Cost), Material (by
units and cost), Equipment (by hours and cost) and third-party contracts. After a project is estimated it
then provides information on Work Force Planning requirements for the period Project is scheduled.
This information, in conjunction with our Work Force Planning report provides a “live data” view of your
current and future operational requirements.

Pavement Management (Reference E in previous section) provides a historical view of all segments
that have been surveyed on a particular road or street. This graphic view is enhanced by running a
report that relates pavement survey results with actual operational spending over a period of time.
Prioritized, by Survey results, reports can be run.
(Demo -> Reporting -> Pavement Management Reports)
Fund Accounting (Reference F in previous section) provides for budgeting and control of all spending
in each fund your department utilizes. Instant, on screen analysis of each fund (or all in total) provide,
monthly and annual, analysis of your spending.

Visual R&B IMS©’s Complaints Management module enables you to document, disseminate to
appropriate employees, manage costs on and maintain comprehensive records of all complaints from
citizens on any asset you maintain. When the Complaints Window opens any records in the window
are marked by a Red X, which means they are open complaints that need to be solved. They remain
open until the necessary work is performed and they are signed off as completed.
(Demo -> Menus -> Main Menu -> Complaints -> Double-click on a record)
A Complaint and information collected to help you manage your assets, would look like:
Action
Resultant information generated
Citizen initiates a complaint
Record of complaint is entered
previous history of complainant is checked
history of road/street is checked
Complaint is issued
Date & time of complaint is logged
Print complaint - issue to person
responsible to work on it
Date & Time assigned out is logged
A mouse click also generates a work order, or click
Print button to print highlighted complaint
Employee assesses complaint and
takes corrective action(s)
Employee(s) report what was done
to solve complaint, or, possibly
Initiates a new Project
Work records report hours worked, material
used and equipment time which adds a cost
layer on whatever asset is worked on
Information generated on a Complaint, as it flows through Visual R&B IMS©, would include:
• Complaint – Who
Feedback on complaint status; i.e., phone call when complaint closed
• Complaint - What
Complaints, when viewed from a macro perspective provide a picture
picture of the overall functionality, status and serviceability of the
particular assets; i.e., if a particular asset sustains many complaints a
decision on the viability of that asset should be made
