Making Workflows Work for You – Construction Management Software

Dexter + Chaney are the hosts of a users’ conference in April of each year. Held in Seattle, Washington, the event is very popular and well attended. Dexter + Chaney show changes and improvements to Spectrum Construction Management Software and to showcase what coming up in the future. With such a large event, proper workflows must be in place or it would never happen smoothly.

Different kinds of industries each have their own workflow systems. If automobiles are being built, workers on an assembly line and conveyor belts would be used to control the flow of things that needed to be done. Certainly, that kind of workflow wouldn’t work for the construction industry. That is why construction management software has to be of great quality to focus on the many moving parts that need to be accomplished.

Spectrum Construction Management Software allows each department to tailor-make the processes they will use in their own function in the construction company. Each individual department can set up alerts that will let them know when a specific task needs to be done, such as reporting and reviewing.

In the construction industry, trying to find out where a job stands at any given time can be daunting to do manually. Quality construction management software not only lets each member of the team follow the job from start to finish, it allows the people overseeing the project to see the whole picture and view how well each department is doing. This allows for a more productive workflow and therefore more projects completed on time. The office personal will be on the same page as the workers in the field at every moment. The information is seen in real-time and nobody is left our of the loop.

Competitiveness in the construction industry is seen more now due to the economy. Bidding wars are an every day occurrence and construction companies are tightening their budgets. Companies that have quality construction management software are able to work faster and more accurately .

Construction companies using a workflow isn’t a new practice, however automating the entire process is. In the past, construction company’s workflows often consisted of sticky notes, massive amounts of emails, or simply word of mouth. There are too many ways to make mistakes using that type of work flow. Quality construction management software takes every bit of information in and makes sure each department, and each person, sees exactly what they need to see to complete the job.

Having one software platform that works as well for the accounting department as it does the field worker saves time and money. The data is available to each department, but in a form and “language” each department can understand. Having all the information about each project in the hands of every individual in the company will be sure to help it grow and succeed in the construction industry.
