Web-based Features

Building business online wherever you go

Collect time quickly and accurately with Time mobile app

No more shuffling paper timesheets between the jobsite and the office. Using a mobile device, time can be collected and approved for one or multiple employees, giving quicker visibility into project labor costs and streamlining the field-to-office payroll process.

  • Submit employee time worked quickly via an iPhone or Android smartphone.  Log the number and type of hours worked, linking the time to a job cost code. 
  • Supervisors or project managers can review, adjust, and approve employee time whenever and wherever it makes sense—whether via an iPad on the job site or using a PC in the office— thus shortening review time and ensuring reporting accuracy.
  • Streamline and jumpstart the payroll process through tight integration with Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate or Sage 100 Contractor Payroll.
  • Gain quicker visibility to labor issues in the field so you can make adjustments sooner and preserve your profit margin.   See all reported time and easily filter by specific cost codes to watch for areas sensitive to potential labor overages on the job.
Access one version of the truth with centralized, web-based management of Project Files

With Project Files, team members can instantly share the latest and most accurate project information on a secured centralized hub - documents, drawings and photos - so that decisions are solid and projects move forward. Each team member, employees or subcontractors, see only those documents they need for their job.

  • Easily upload and access construction project photos, files, and more from the field using an easy to-use mobile application (app) on an iPhone or Android device.
  • Confidently extend access to everyone involved on a project while ensuring each team member is provided access to only those documents and folders designated important to their specific role.
  • Track and organize the revisions of each important file for each project.  No more digging through email, shuffling through paper, or needing to contact others to locate the drawing you need when you need it.
  • Project team members retain a comprehensive and searchable audit log for extensive file history visibility when needed.  You’ll have the history to support any team communications or conflicts, or to respond to legal discovery.
  • Ensure everyone is aware of changes or issues through notifications that can be seen through a project home page or email.

Mobile technology can give you new and immediate visibility into key business information so you can keep the business moving forward–without having to go to or involve the main office. Contractors will be surprised at how much time can be saved, how many project costs can be minimized, and how much easier it can be to connect everyone on a project.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing makes software and other technologies available over the Internet; mobility is a means to access it. You can use a growing list of construction-specific mobile apps to execute many field tasks.
Hybrid Cloud Solution
A hybrid cloud solution interacts with existing on-premises software. With a hybrid approach, you can leverage your on-premises software and company information and extend or move only those areas to the cloud that will benefit from cloud technology–such as field operations.
On-premises
On-premises vs. cloud Having the software reside right at the office can be more fitting depending on how it is used. However, cloud adoption is much easier and quicker to implement. Sometimes it can take weeks to implement an on-premises solution. Cloud subscription-based solutions also frees up company capital expenditures.
Mobility
Mobility is the means to access and update information in the cloud. Construction-specific mobile apps can include managing projects, sharing files, submitting time or reports, tracking information, assets and tasks, and more.

The cloud makes it so much easier to access and share project information. It no longer matters where you are or what time of day it is. You’ve got instant access to the details you need to know. Those in the field can access the latest project information–like site drawings–while directly onsite, increasing their abilities to complete task quickly and correctly the first time.
*2013 Sage Construction IT survey
The cloud is speeding up productivity, increasing profitability
85%
of construction companies reported that mobile technology has positively impacted productivity*
The cloud is speeding up productivity, increasing profitability. Field teams can more easily and quickly provide site information to office staff–like daily field reports or employee time worked on site–to speed up job costing and provide better visibility into potential site issues or rising costs sooner. Quicker adjustments increase the odds of the project staying on-schedule and on-budget.
*2013 Sage Construction IT survey
Any size business can use the cloud
73%
of construction companies surveyed supply mobile devices to their employees*
Any size of business can use the cloud. Because cloud technologies are readily available and operational, it makes it possible for an even small contractor to have access to the same technology tools as a larger contractor. Those using the cloud are quickly realizing strong, tangible results. Construction businesses of all sizes are leveraging the cloud to complete jobs on-time and on-budget.
*2013 Sage Construction IT survey
Kelly Bott, IT Construction professional for over 20 years states: "The cloud allows a one-to-ten person construction company to have the same impact and surface area as a 100-person construction company . . . I'm more excited today because the possibilities are exploding with what we can do with technology, connectivity and applications."
93%
of construction professionals use some sort of mobile device on their construction sites*
Mobile technology changes how quickly you can access or update the most recent project information–without involving the office. Contractors will be surprised at how much time can be saved, how many project costs can be minimized, and how much easier it can be to connect everyone on a project.

Prerequisite:
start with a solid
foundation

First, examine your existing software.

Everything starts with the right foundation of information. Before you extend capabilities to the cloud, make sure that the solution you use at the office is still a good fit for the business.

Field-to-office connectivity

Identify the most critical field-to-office interactions today.

How would your business benefit if your teams could easily provide site information to the office? And vice versa? It’s ultimately about what really will help your business. If a mobile app offers a simpler and easy way to perform a task, it will impact your business versus being just one more thing that won’t get used.

Access and
controls

Know what you want team members to see–and not see.

Will the solution give you the control you need to keep sensitive information protected? Administration should be simple and easy to manage, right?

Your entire team benefits if they have access to the project information they need to speed the decision-making process and increase confidence in the decisions that are being made.

Mobile
management

Assume mobile devices are being used whether you approve or not.

The need to focus on how employees are already using their phones is critical. For example, if your employee’s phone is lost or stolen, you don’t want to worry about your data being at risk.

Any cloud technology partner you choose should help you mitigate risks and give you the security control you need.

Security and compliance

Get specific answers from your cloud provider.

  • How will the integration to your current software be handled?
  • How will you maintain overall confidentiality?
  • How do you determine that the solution is secure?
  • Does the solution work well with your business compliance requirements?

Integration

Knowing what business processes need to connect together is critical to cloud applications.

Identifying your most important business issues–issues that slow you down or impact competitiveness or profits–will help you plan whether to migrate to the cloud, implement a hybrid mix of a cloud and on-premises solution, or revamp existing business software.

Integrates with Sage 100 Contractor and
Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate.

The core reason for using the cloud is not so that you can use some of the latest technology, but because you can trust that it will be a positive change for the business. Choose a provider who:

  • Understands your unique construction business needs.
  • Is the best fit for your business.
  • Fully protects your data.
  • Gives you the control you need on who can access and update information.
  • Provides software that handles legal and compliance matters.
  • Will be there for your business as it grows and changes.
