Information was submitted weekly, compiled and recorded at various times, and a lot of the accuracy depended on the diligence of the supervisor's input. "Payroll accuracy and simplicity are among the most important advantages with Track," he explains. "We now have a daily input of labor time and automatic integration into our payroll system. This has literally allowed us to reassign half of our payroll department." Easy access to historical production data for claims and disputes with project owners is another benefit that became evident immediately after Alvin J. Coleman & Son implemented B2W Track. Electronic data that is complete and neatly organized allows the management team to look back and understand site conditions and scope related issues. Holland cites a significant blasting claim on a large highway project that involved additional, unforeseen rock as an example. "We were able to demonstrate actual cost and schedule impacts supported by daily log input and closed the claim with relative ease," he says. Simplicity and ease of use compared to the previous system were the keys to an easy implementation of B2W Track, according to Holland. Buy-in more or less took care of itself, even among employees he describes as less tech-savvy. "We started in our off season, chose a few of the more detailed and disciplined supervisors, and once the season hit, we had worked out any bugs and implemented company wide," he explains. Alvin J.
