This report is an evaluation of Peab's purchase and call-off system, PIA. PIA is used to order goods for Peab's construction sites. The background to the work is that users of the system have understood the system cumbersome to use when purchasing goods for construction sites. The evaluation was carried out by the interviews and tests with users of the program, in this case, supervisors and site managers at the company. Ten users of the system were interviewed and eleven people have carried out a test order. The focus is primarily on the test order that users have implemented, which has been clocked and analyzed for time and cost. The evaluation is also a user analysis concerning how the users perceive the program, mainly in terms of usability, functionality and benefits. The result of this report shows that PIA is economically profitable to use for the purchase of goods for construction sites. It shows also that in the majority of cases take more time to place an order through PIA than by phone, but despite this, it is economically profitable to use the system. The result of the user analysis shows that the system performs what it is proposed to, despite some criticism from users. It also shows that the system is user friendly for those who have fairly good computer skills, and states that PIA brings the benefit that it is intended to do, i.e. creating economic profit to the company.
