LATHAM, NY (06/09/2010)(readMedia)-- Trystate Mechanical, Inc. (Yonkers, NY) has selected COINS software from Construction Industry Solutions (COINS) as its enterprise solution for service management and job cost.

The COINS solution ensures that Trystate won't outgrow its business software and positions it for continuing success.

Joe Burns, Executive Vice President of PPL Mechanical Contracting and Energy Services, says "COINS is very stable, the data is always reliable, and it can be easily tailored to fit the specific needs of our business units while providing us with uniform and consistent data at the enterprise level. COINS has been a silent and low maintenance partner in our business for over a decade. The product just works."

According to Mary Baumes, COINS Operations Director, "The project focus was to help Trystate manage the construction side of its business.
