Monitor Deadlines And Send All Required Notices for $28 Per Project (Or Less)

Yesterday, we wrote an article titled “4 Reasons Why It’s Smart To Outsource Your Preliminary Notice Work,” which discussed some reasons why outsourcing makes sense for construction and material supply companies who need to send preliminary notices to preserve their lien rights. Today, we’re going to get specific, and explain how simple and inexpensive it is to outsource your preliminary notice work to Zlien.

Part One: The Cost

Zlien offers the most simple and competitive outsourcing package in the industry. You pay a flat amount for each project you want us to manage, and we’ll (i) monitor your notice and lien requirements and deadlines; (ii) verify the property owner and address on each project; and (iii) deliver any and all notices requested on the project.

What’s the price? Take a look at the following chart:


Monitor Deadlines And Send All Required Notices for $28 Per Project (Or Less)

Included In Notice Only Plan:

  • Data Entry of Project Information
  • Unlimited Notices of any type (prelien, notice of intent to lien, etc)
  • Lien & Notice Deadline Monitoring

Included In Full Service Plan:

  • Data Entry of Project Information
  • Unlimited Notices of any type
  • Unlimited Liens, State Bond Claims, Federal Bond Claims
  • Unlimited Asset Report Searches
  • Zlien will send or file any document for the associated number of projects.
  • Lien & Notice Deadline Monitoring

Your company is billed monthly, at the start of the month for the number of estimated projects we’ll manage that month. There’s no minimum commitment period, and you can cancel or change your plan at anytime.

Part Two:  How It Works

So, how does this actually work?  It’s as easy as this:  Just give us your project information.  That’s it.

Some of our clients provide us the project information by inputting it into an online form within the LienPilot.  Other clients, however, simply fax or email us a copy of their internal Job Information Form or the contract / purchase order itself, and our staff does the data entry.

Our system calculates all the notice and lien requirements for your project, and whenever required, we’ll file or deliver the required notice or lien document (depending on your plan). You don’t have to lift a finger or think about this aspect of your business at all.

All the documents sent or filed on your behalf are stored in your LienPilot account and available for you to view at anytime.

Part Three: Getting Started

Get started easily by filling out the below contact form.  Someone from Zlien will review your information and create a custom proposal for your company.  It’s your first step towards a Smarter Way To Lien.

Finally, All Of Your Mechanic Lien Deadlines In One Place

A few months ago I posted: Visual Calendar Shows You When Liens and Notices Are Due.  This was a decent post that introduced a new LienPilot feature, but in retrospect, it really did a poor job showing our readers the benefits of this new feature.

What’s so special about this Calendar?

The LienPilot can calculate and monitor construction notice and lien deadlines for an unlimited number of projects anywhere in the United States. But if you’re a company that has 50-100 projects a month (or more), comprehending all of these deadlines is a chore.  That’s where the new calendar comes in.

Users can now view their lien and notice requirements in list, month or year view, to get a quick visual of what is due and when.  Take a look at these screenshots.

The LienPilot Has A New Look!

We’ve gutted our LienPilot and completely re-designed it with a new look!    The remodeling makes the service easier to use, and easier for you to find the features you need.   We call it LienPilot3.

The LienPilot Has A New Look!

The LienPilot Has A New Look! No-Nonsense Navigation

We’re building a web application that your business can use to calculate and manage the Mechanic Lien and Preliminary Notice requirements across the United States.   The first order of business should be a navigation system that is productive and intuitive.    Check out #1 in the above-image, and our new Main Navigation Bar.   From any screen you can easily switch from one project to another by selecting it from the drop down, or access system-wide settings and information.   Want to go back to the home screen?  Just click on the LienPilot logo.

The LienPilot Has A New Look! Get Help

Every page has these two icons:   The Help Chat and the Help Video.    Click on the video link to see a video tutorial on how to use the features of that particular page.  Click the chat icon to chat with someone from the Zlien team anytime during business hours.  If it’s after business hours, leave a message and someone will get right back to you.

The LienPilot Has A New Look! Project Nicknames

Perhaps this was the most requested feature from users.   Sorry it took so long, but we finally delivered.   You can nickname any project by clicking on the “Set a Nickname For This Project” link.   Wherever the project is displayed in the Pilot, this nickname will appear.

The LienPilot Has A New Look! Deadline Notification Improvements

Our deadline notifier is already an industry leader, notifying you of upcoming deadlines via email, by allowing you to download the deadlines into your calendar, or by letting you subscribe via RSS Feed.   The new deadline calculator screen makes it easier than ever to read the deadlines, it allows you to dismiss deadlines…and, for the biggest improvement, allows you to order any notice or lien document due with just one-click.

Click on the “Order This Document Now” link, and you’ll be sent straight to the Lien Wizard’s check out after confirming the order information.

The LienPilot Has A New Look! In-Project Navigation

Previously, everything about your project was crammed on one page.   We’ve created in-page navigation with tabs, so you can get a clear and clean picture of what’s going on with your project.   Only look at the information you want to see.  Our next blog post will highlight our new Legal Center tab – one of the more robust improvements we’ve launched.

More Improvements Planned…

We’re excited to hear your feedback about the new look. We consider this to be the start of many improvements. We’re currently designing an easier way for you to get help when you need it and we’re also working on a number of performance improvements to make the LienPilot even faster.

Let us know what you think!
