CONSTRUCTION

Construction companies are replacing manual entry, time clocks and paper forms with handheld devices and mobile software, giving their supervisors and employees greater access to information and the ability to quickly and accurately record, track and transmit data. Construction companies are managing their mobile workers and jobs from more economical means. Today they are using devices that are already in the field for other communication needs and adding data service to their mobile phones or upgrading to a Smartphone such as a blackberry. Companies are mobilizing field force processes with applications such as time tracking for jobs, field inspection reports, overtime reporting, location tracking and inventory management. Companies use the service to accurately control and track materials purchased in the field along with any material costs associated with a job. Timesheets are filled out and submitted right from the supervisor's cell phone. Field supervisors can use the application in scheduling equipment most efficiently and completing projects on a timely basis. Seedspark applications allow construction companies to:

  • Speed up billing cycles, invoice the day the work is done.

  • Locate work crews and determine job and task status, providing more efficient service to your customers.

  • Track employee time cards and reduce overtime expenses.

  • Track materials and inventory usage from the field.

  • Update punch lists and inspection reports automatically.

  • Minimize billing errors by capturing job data at the source, including parts usage and job time.

  • Eliminate manual entry of job data and timesheet information, import it directly into your in-house applications.

  • Eliminate paperwork associated with having staff in the field.

  • Track staff productivity using online reporting and identify areas for improvement.

  • Leverage last minute opportunities; respond quickly to new priorities with customers.
