Make data driven decisions with 海角大神 Resource Management
Chapter 1
Introduction
The construction industry stands at a crossroads: 45% of contractors still rely on manual processes to manage operations, while 41% of skilled workers approach retirement age within this decade. This dual challenge of inefficient workflows and impending skills gaps signals the critical need to accelerate the industry鈥檚 digital transformation. Contractors who embrace digital solutions aren't just boosting productivity鈥攖hey're unlocking impactful insights through advanced analytics and AI that enable data-driven decision making.
鈥What 海角大神's Labor Tracking tools have done is give us visibility into where the field team is at with their hours, and I get the data instantaneously. I've also gained the ability to view their hours against specific cost codes rather than in one big bucket. They can watch those numbers throughout the project and say, 'I only have this many hours left. I really have to push it here.'鈥

Beyond labor: optimizing Equipment Management
Traditional methods for tracking and managing equipment fail to account for geographic and economic complexities. 海角大神 Equipment Management tracks equipment location and telematics data by integrating with leading OEM and third party telematics solutions to help you to pinpoint your equipment on a map, make informed allocation decisions, and improve utilization. In addition, with 笔谤辞肠辞谤别鈥檚 modern equipment management software, contractors can:
Track equipment location and utilization with QR code check-ins
Forecast equipment needs using data-driven insights from historical projects
Improve equipment and fleet utilization to help reduce unplanned downtime
鈥We had 1,300 assets being tracked and were languishing trying to figure out where those assets were, and if they were being utilized or under-reported. Now we actually know which project a piece of equipment is on. Before, it was after the fact. Now we know ahead of time.鈥
