Knowing where people, equipment and materials are supposed to be and
where they actually are at a given point in time are critical first steps for
effective scheduling and dispatching.
This should be the easy part, but in a dynamic construction environment
with many moving parts, it seldom is. Changes are made on the fly.
Resources move constantly and often unpredictably. Keeping track of
them with manual offline scheduling tools can be a struggle. Employees
also waste valuable time and effort trying to communicate about resource
logistics, taking them away from core tasks.
A specialized and centralized software solution for scheduling and
dispatching makes it easy to know where resources are and where they
need to be.
A live map function within that software even lets users see job sites and
equipment in relation to each other, so they can schedule with maximum
efficiency. Integrating GPS technology provides fool-proof verification of
locations. Users can even create boundaries for equipment movement with
geofencing and incorporate real-time information on traffic, accidents and
road construction delays.
• Employee and equipment
assignments – past, current
and future
• Resource requirements – days or
weeks in advance – to maximize
utilization and resolve conflicts
before they happen
• Actual equipment location –
delivered and confirmed via
telematics data
• Where work is taking place and
scheduled to take place – on
a live map that can incorporate
geofencing, street or satellite
views and traffic updates
