Enhanced Reporting & Analysis
Looking back to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of scheduling
and dispatching efforts is important. This historical data can give
contractors valuable insight into trends and help them identify
opportunities to get more out of their resources going forward.
However, many companies forgo reporting and analysis. Their
paper-based scheduling and dispatching systems make it a difficult,
manual process to look up information, put it together in a logical
way and draw meaningful conclusions.
Scheduling software changes that. Contractors get structured, consistent
data and the ability to pull it into standard and customized reports
automatically. Even though activities like equipment moves and crew
assignments took place in the past, the information surrounding that
activity remains in the system – it is not overwritten, deleted, thrown
away like a printed schedule or erased like a whiteboard.
Combining data from unified software solutions for scheduling and
field tracking is especially useful. This enables contractors to create
measurements to compare scheduled versus actual utilization over
time, across job sites and among resources or groups of resources.
Reporting and analysis of
scheduling performance can
help contractors maximize
utilization and efficiency for
future operations and inform
their strategies for acquiring
and deploying resources.
