  Comment Management and Response Tool
 

Benefits Using CMART
Applying CMART over traditional means typically results in savings 3 times the cost of the program.

CMART increases the efficiency and consistency of your comment and response process, which helps to save time and money.  One of the primary reasons that Parametrix developed the software was in response to client cost, schedule and project management issues that we found invariably occur in large-scale environmental impact efforts.  Projects of various size and scope have seen benefits by incorporating CMART.  CMART provides additional levels of quality control and management to clients to review and update assignments and monitor the progress of responses continuously during the project. 

CMART is a secure site that is easily accessible online from your computer desktop, All comment letters or Items are placed online and accessible to your project team allowing for greater collaboration and efficiency. (?) Upon logging in, CMART provides each user with the list of tasks that they are assigned. Once the assigned user types in their response and they submit it for review, the response will automatically be routed to the next assigned user to review. This automated workflow helps to reduce the project coordination time needed to transfer information between tasks. Standard Responses for common comments can also be set-up, which can increase consistency. Information entered in CMART can be searched and used to create reports on content and status.

PDFs of your project’s comments and responses can also be compiled for review cycles and the final product. This helps to reduce word processing and coordination time. In addition, the automated tools in CMART reduce the costs that can occur when the project approach or other factors require changes to responses late in the process.
