Express Lien Changes Name to Zlien

New Orleans, Louisiana

Express Lien, a leader in mechanic’s lien management and filing, has announced its new company name, Zlien.

Zlien prepares and files construction notices, mechanic’s liens and bond claims for those in the construction industry across the nation. Zlien also is a leader in mechanic’s lien management, offering clients a Web-based application that manages mechanic’s lien and preliminary notice deadlines and requirements.

The new name reflects the company's unique collection of services and its position as a leader in filing and managing mechanic’s liens.

"Today's unveiling of Zlien marks a significant milestone for our company", explained Scott Wolfe, Jr., chief executive officer for Zlien. "The Zlien name embodies our ability and our commitment to continue helping those in the construction industry Lien Smarter."

In conjunction with the name change, the company also announced two new Web sites beta launching in the next two weeks:

-- LienPilot.com is an independent home for our Web-based mechanic’s lien deadline calculator and management software, previously housed within the expresslien.com Web site.

-- MechanicLien.com is an independent home for our huge (and growing) database of mechanic’s lien laws, forms and digests. Not only does this site provide users a wealth of mechanic’s lien law information free, but it also is extremely easy to navigate and use.

“The Express Lien name worked great when we started this company in 2006 because we exclusively filed mechanic’s liens,” Wolfe said. “Today, we file mechanics liens, preliminary notices, bond claims and all types of documents for contractors and suppliers across the nation, and we also lead the industry in providing lien law information and provide a premier Web-based lien management software that calculates mechanic’s lien deadlines and requirements. Our new name reflects these product advancements, and gives us room to grow more.”

There has been no change in the company's management or ownership.

Print ID Employee Badges from CheckMate Software

Redmond, Washington

Dynamic Systems, Inc., a software developer specializing in data collection applications, has added the ability to print ID badges directly from its CheckMate manufacturing software. The printer also can be used as a separate employee ID badge printer.

DSI has added a printer driver for the Zebra Technologies Card Printer. Now, when a CheckMate user of Toolroom, Document Tracking, Asset Tracking, Job Data, Time & Attendance or Stockroom needs to produce or replace an employee ID badge, the information from the CheckMate program, including a photo of the employee, can be incorporated in the badge. Any company that wants to produce its own ID badges should consider this printer.

The Zebra Card Printer offers a low-cost way to print permanent or temporary employee ID badges on the fly. The printer comes with a “starter kit” of cards and can be purchased with a camera.

Honeywell and Dynamic Systems, Inc. Help Herzog Contracting Corp. Implement Industry-Leading Asset Management System

Redmond, Washington

Herzog Contracting Corp. is a construction company with projects, crews and jobsites nationwide. As most crews report directly to the construction site each morning and not a centralized location, there was little to no tracking of the different tools and small equipment used by each crew.

Herzog recognized that the “honor system” was resulting in a major loss in profitability due to the costs associated with replacing tools and equipment that went missing. Then Herzog won a new contract for the construction of Denver’s West Corridor Light Rail Project in 2009.

The Challenge:

A project such as the construction of Denver’s West Corridor Light Rail Project involves a variety of trade work -- from bridge building to carpentry to ditch digging. All of these elements require different tools and equipment, from hammers and drills to shovels and GPS receivers. Until recently, there was no asset system in place to track equipment needs.

Herzog challenged Dynamic Systems Inc. to provide a comprehensive tool management solution to meet its highly specific criteria. Many construction sites do not have an office, so a traditional computerized system was not an option.

Designed for rugged environments and built to withstand repeated drops to concrete, Honeywell’s Dolphin 7850 mobile computer was selected for the project because of its IP64 rating and easy-to-use, touch screen interface. Signature capture functionality was also a key reason the device was selected as it allows each crew foreman to electronically sign out tools and equipment for his or her team, instilling a sense of responsibility and ownership over the tools.

Honeywell’s Focus 1690 hand-held area-imaging scanner decodes virtually all bar codes, including the 1D and 2D bar codes designed specifically to adhere to Herzog’s requirements. The 1690 quickly scans the individual bar codes applied to each new small tool and/or piece of equipment owned by Herzog.

Using CheckMate Toolroom software, this information is loaded into an electronic library so that each individual tool can be tracked. Additionally, this software allows tools to be classified according to value, with more expensive tools being tracked more closely. Although updates are not made to the library in real-time due to the nature of the business, they are made two to three times daily, creating an easy, searchable database for quickly determining which crew last used a specific tool or piece of equipment.

The Benefit:

This solution provides increased profitability because Herzog as foremen feel a heightened sense of ownership for their crew’s tools, resulting in a significant decrease in tool and equipment loss. Herzog estimates it is currently saving $20,000 a month on tool replacement. The company also is seeing improved productivity as the solution allows management to know where expensive and unique tools are at any point in time and there no is longer time spent searching for lost or stolen tools.
