The construction boom in Southwestern Florida has been great for Allen Concrete and Masonry, but it has also presented new challenges. With more than 250 employees working on 25 construction crews on any given day, the company needed an accurate, efficient process for tracking hours, tasks and labor costs. This process would not only help Allen control current job costs but also better estimate the cost of future jobs.
The solution for Allen Concrete was AirClic® Time Management, a single, comprehensive application for automating the collection and management of relevant project data like time, task, location and labor. Using an AirClic-enabled mobile device, supervisors scan their workers' ID badges (created by AirClic) in person, eliminating the potential for false reporting. Built-in GPS functionality automatically tracks location and time-stamps each entry, creating a virtual paper trail for accurate payroll and invoicing. Instant visibility of all field activities allows managers to split or switch crews mid-day, a feature that has led to operational efficiencies and increased productivity.
AirClic seamlessly exports the field data into Allen's existing back-end system on a daily basis, so management can stay in control of labor costs. By replacing paper time sheets, AirClic Time Management has enabled the company to maximize labor resources, accurately estimate the cost of future jobs, improve accountability and increase profit margins.
