ACCUBUILD MOBILE - NEW MODULE

 

This option is now available for purchase with this release.

 

This option allows for field entry of time cards, production units and daily reports entries including workforce, visitors, weather conditions, equipment on the project and materials on the project in real time.

 

All daily report field entries are immediately populated in the Project Management system and all time card entries are saved directly to the new Time Card Spreadsheet screen.  In this screen, entries can be edited and new entries added, and then the records can be imported into the normal time card entry screen.

 

The time card field entries also support labor crews that can be set up on the fly and when time in entered for the crew, time cards are automatically created for each employee in the crew.

 

The mobile platform provides all customer, vendor, and employee contact information in the field for quick access.

 

The reports from the MAR Report Library can now be run on the mobile device platform for quick access to job cost reports, labor reports, and any type of management reports.

 

The mobile platform is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and Android phones with iPhone emulation access via the Safari web browser. Please contact AccuBuild Sales at 800.728.6853 x 1 for more information and/or a demonstration on this new product.

A new option was added to build a list of restricted equipment categories for field entry selection for equipment operators on time card entries and for equipment on the project for daily report entries.
