Field productivity
Improving productivity in field operations requires the effort of both people and technology.
Geofence timesheet
At EdaraSystems, we provide a more innovative and customisable way to track time for your crew. Features of a location-based time tracking Geofence timesheet include automated timesheets, employee scheduling, GPS tracking, detailed reports, easy integration with existing software and 24/7 support. You can now skip the hassle of paper, time cards or text in hours. Once a streamline is set up, you do not have to do additional work for future scheduling and time tracking. Plus, the App is customisable and has Android and iPhone user features. The GPS app will not drain the phone battery; the notification will clarify what is being tracked and when. Tracking will allow you to see if the shift started late, ended early, or was missed altogether, providing a detailed attendance report and helping you save time. The clear, location-based records of work hours will help you avoid expensive errors. As the timesheets are more reliable, you have a better estimate of the working hours, leading to easier invoicing.
Request for information
A Request For Information (RFI) is a bureaucratic procedure to gather data from potential suppliers. The purpose of an RFI is to refine a list of potential vendor candidates. It is helpful when an organisation has little knowledge about the possible vendors and wants to reduce the effort, time, resources and cost of evaluating between choices. There are numerous areas of use, such as in the IT sector, where RFI is used to acquire software from vendors; in construction, where the contractor can send an RFI; or an RFI can be used to evaluate industry-specific suppliers. At EdaraSystems, we provide templates to help you request concise information from potential vendors or suppliers and present compelling responses to your clients.
Equipment management
Our software will help you maximise equipment up-time with collaborative instruments, helping you monitor the performance of your tools and small equipment with efficiency. Our software will allow you to collaborate with your team remotely to enhance visibility and improve collaboration using centralised equipment management software that effectively communicates on a mobile device. As a result, you can uncover equipment issues with digital inspections through our mobile inspection app and our configurable equipment management system. Consequently, equipment visibility will increase to augment safety, where managers can view an updated equipment status in our cloud-based equipment management logs. You can also track utilisation and provide insight into how your tools are used so that you can develop preventive maintenance strategies to elongate the equipment life cycle and create accurate estimates of when your equipment should be replaced.
According to a survey by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, two third of workers are field-based. The same study indicates that 22% of the time in project management is taken up by paperwork, leading to an unnecessary admin burden that sucks valuable time and resources from priority tasks. By leveraging the EdaraSystems solution’s capabilities, you produce faster work from every perspective.
By making the most of the functionality in workers’ devices, such as orientation, geolocation and bringing enterprise-level systems to the individual, there can be significant advancements in field productivity. Field productivity technology innovation is a catalyst for field operations as a whole and helps to maximise productivity and performance.
At EdaraSystems, our latest tools can transform on-the-job productivity by scheduling, posting, communicating and addressing unexpected events, helping with time management by providing actionable insights.
Importance of reporting from the field
Recent studies have found risk shifting in the construction business. When disruptions occur, the risk mitigation responsibilities are shifted from the general contractor to the sub-contractors, leaving the company feeling short-sold. Our accurate and timely reporting and assessment modules allow you to get a precise snapshot of your organisation, helping you appropriately delegate tasks and mitigate risks.
Daily reporting applications
Daily reporting creates greater visibility into the field. Our daily reporting format can generate timely and relevant insights that would be easily accessible and understandable to managers, enabling them to refine their processes and create more effective outcomes.
The daily reporting application needs to be user-friendly and customisable. Employees of different backgrounds and technical skills would be utilising this interface; therefore, it should be uncomplicated enough for easy handling. A section should be available for comments to be made so foremen can document observations while their memory is still fresh. Centralised access should allow greater visibility, but data modification should only be granted to the relevant personnel.
Crew
Our crew feature ensures that daily reports are comprehensive and insightful. Using our tools, you can observe the hours worked, cost codes, hours lost, and people on the site. As a result, you can analyse potential time and financial drains that would have otherwise been overlooked.
Sub- Contractors
With multiple workers being based across various functions, locations and work streams, overall productivity can be negatively affected. Our application provides a holistic way for the sub-contractor to join all the dots and identify inconsistencies.
Equipment and material
Catering to your needs, our application contains specific areas to request purchasing more material to ensure that work disruption does not occur. The centralised access allows real-time processing of bids.
Field note attachment
Unexpected events can be challenging and seriously compromise a given day’s productivity. Our application allows you to have an overview of events as they unfold in real time, whether it be travel delays, cancelled appointments or natural disasters; managers can make quick decisions that they need to ensure that there is no compromise to the smoothness of operations and worker safety.
1How does our software help field productivity?
Historically, significant paperwork is needed to record observations and assessments during fieldwork. Our software provides new and digital ways of working so that it’s possible to log data automatically with greater accuracy in real time. Our software also helps prevent delays that can lead to work disruption, negatively affecting teams, companies, customers and stakeholders. Our automatic processing of data in different formats, such as text, video and forms, allows entire sections to have better visibility and make informed decisions immediately, thereby enhancing efficiency and productivity.
