Tracking productivity within your organization is crucial for several reasons:

1. Resource Optimization: By monitoring productivity, companies can identify areas where resources are being underutilized or overextended. This allows for better allocation of manpower, equipment, and materials, ultimately improving efficiency and reducing costs.

2. Project Management: Tracking productivity helps project managers assess the progress of ongoing projects and make informed decisions to keep projects on schedule and within budget. It also enables them to identify potential bottlenecks or issues early on and take corrective actions promptly.

3. Performance Evaluation: Productivity metrics provide valuable insights into the performance of individual workers, teams, and subcontractors. This information can be used for performance evaluations, identifying training needs, and incentivizing high performers.

4. Client Satisfaction: Delivering projects on time and within budget is essential for maintaining client satisfaction. Tracking productivity allows companies to meet deadlines consistently and deliver quality work, enhancing their reputation and fostering long-term client relationships.

5. Competitive Advantage: Construction is a highly competitive industry, and companies that consistently deliver projects efficiently and cost-effectively have a competitive edge. Tracking productivity enables companies to benchmark their performance against industry standards and competitors, identifying areas for improvement and innovation.

Overall, ALMobile Production Tracking answers the need to improve profits and performance with projects. This productivity tool empowers everyone across your organization to make the right decisions at the right time.

The Lag measure is instrumental in reducing costs and increasing profits, while the Lead measure serves as an early indicator that operations can utilize before the Lag measure is known. Lead measures directly impact Lag measures and are under the direct control of workers. In construction, Lead measures include hours expended and work completed. Lag measures, on the other hand, are retrospective, meaning that by the time cost information is observed, the corresponding performance has already occurred. ALMobile Production Tracking enables easy capture of Lead measures in the field in real-time as the project progresses. This provides immediate feedback to field users, such as Foremen or Supervisors, allowing for timely adjustments that can impact Lag measures.

No, the production measurement can occur at any time based on your needs. Foremen can enter information daily and receive instant budget against actual reporting. Another common approach is to have Foremen maintain crew time and Supervisors perform the Production Tracking periodically over the life of the project. The goal is to drive the success of the Lag measure. You want Lead measure tracking that has predictive outcome and that is influenced by the individual recording the measurement.

We empower users to gauge productivity either in units or as a percentage of completion for tasks within their purview. Tracking the accumulation of costs is a Lag measure typically handled by administrative personnel, such as accounting staff. Consequently, we maintain that decisions regarding project adjustments based solely on Lag measures are less impactful. With ALMobile Time Tracking capturing field time, half of the Production Tracking process is fulfilled. The integrated displays in ALMobile Production Tracking rely on precise and punctual data inputted by field personnel.

As a productivity tracking solution, ALMobile can be deployed with either percent complete or units in place. This allows the user to enter units of work produced per a given amount of man hours, and calculate the overall percent complete for that specific task. There are environments where the task being measured is not so easy to count, the user has the ability to enter the total percent complete, and Production Tracking will calculate the number of units of work placed based on previous associated time entries.

Through our bi-directional integration with your ERP, the unit of measurement is captured and displayed by project task.

Subcontractor Production Tracking allows a company to track the productivity rate of specialized work contracted to sub-trades. Similar to self-performed work, this feature tracks sub-trade activity and progress based on their schedule of values. Designed for the contractor to measure progress and approve payment requests and ensure the project schedule is not impeded by a sub-trade.

The Daily Diary was developed to document project notes from the field and facilitate companies in searching and reporting on activities throughout the project’s duration. It gathers daily data on weather conditions, incidents, issues, progress, and other relevant details. This information can be utilized to resolve conflicts, support decision-making, or address claims pertaining to specific dates. The Daily Diary is a robust tool capable of capturing images, videos, and audio to provide a comprehensive overview of the project environment.

Indeed, our Daily Job Report is a thorough document that assesses the project’s status, encompassing factors such as weather conditions, labor activity, equipment utilization, productivity, site visitors, job notes, and additional relevant information. It is meticulously crafted to provide management with daily updates regarding the project’s progress and current state.
