Contractors management software or a nextgeneration
ERP that would manage your
company in its entirety, the solution that you
will choose should certainly help you save time
and money.
Having your Schedule of Works up to date
allows you to manage the aspects of your
business in one place. You will know when
a certain employee is working on a specific
project, on a specific task. You will know how
much they cost you and when they will finish the
task. All costs will be automatically deducted
from the budget of the Project. Things may
seem hard to predict, but with your experience
and a good software, things will come as easy
as pie!
Efficient Booking Procedures
General Contractor Management Software
enables you to optimise the way your employees
work - how their tasks are scheduled and their
availability. In this way, you will be able to
optimise the way you assign your resources to
the projects that you have. The best softwares
available on the market help you to keep the
client satisfied by helping your team make the
correct decisions in booking your resources.
By professionally booking your employees,
you will be able to deliver the project on time,
managing this way also your clients’ time. They
will see that you respect them as well as your
employees, by avoiding double booking or
overworking your team.
The software of your choice should not only
help you to handle your employees properly but
also the other assets that you hold - machinery
included. You should be able to book a person
to use a certain machine for a certain task and
make sure that the system will notify you if you
will overbook any of your assets - machine or
human.
Scheduling Module
With the support of a construction ERP solution,
you should be able to create meetings, set up
time off, set up holidays (regular ones but also
maternity/paternity leaves, sick leaves - for
yourself and the team). Creating Project Tasks
for your team and connecting assets to them
will be a few clicks away! You will first search for
the person (the Asset) that should do the task,
assign the appropriate vehicle/machinery/
equipment, add the budget for the task, place
notes (if need be), and… voila! You are ready
to go. The cloud-based ERP system will also
notify you in case of overbooking - making, yet
again, your work (and life) easier.
TimeSheet Tracking and Management
Pulling up reports for a single person or for the
entire team will be as easy as pie! You will be
able, with the help of the new solution, to clockin/out,
track and edit all data related to your
employees. You can make sure the report for
HR/Payroll has the latest data from the system
(and you!) will have one location where all the
info will be stored - not a dozen of Excel files
and hand-made lists. Goodbye, paperwork -
