Unified Workflows
Optimizing resources across job sites and over time requires continuous
collaboration between the office, job sites, plants and maintenance operations.
Specialized scheduling software allows everyone with a stake in the schedule
to share information easily in real time. When that scheduling software is
unified with the applications used to manage field performance tracking
and equipment maintenance, the benefits multiply.
• Resource requests made in the field – using the field tracking
software – are visible and actionable immediately in the maintenance
and scheduling/dispatching software.
• Available and assigned resources – maintained in real time in the
scheduling software – are visible within the field tracking and
maintenance software.
• Assignments from the scheduling software can be imported directly
to the electronic field log.
• The status of each piece of equipment from the maintenance
software – when it is down for repairs, available, or scheduled
for upcoming maintenance – is visible in the scheduling software.
• Scheduling material orders as well as the employees and equipment
that will produce or install those materials within the same software
system allows better coordination.
Unified software solutions for
scheduling and dispatching, field
tracking and equipment maintenance
can talk to each other in real time and
utilize a common database of jobs,
equipment and employees.
