From Site to Your Smartphone: Smart Mobile App for Construction Managers
About
A global company observed that several companies in the construction industry face several management issues. Often, these issues lead to mismanagement of raw materials, workers, and the overall work progress. Moreover, they noticed that human intervention in identifying materials and document management reduced efficiency. Hence, they wanted an advanced social network application to ease all these tasks for the manager and builders.
Project Highlights
Our developers noted all the client’s observations and brainstormed for an easy-to-use solution. After measuring all aspects, we suggested developing a mobile application to provide real-time updates to builders and construction managers about all activities and on multiple sites. Our developers implemented several features such as changes in raw material quantities, work progress on various sites, zones, and others. In addition, we have made provision of IoT devices for workers in the form of badges to mark their attendance through a single tap. We also have preset custom notification sounds based on different levels of urgencies.
The Challenges
- Customized Dashboards:Managers manually called workers to check raw materials and work progress at different zones.
- Digitized Document Management:Managers and builders have to step into the office all the time to review, analyze and verify documents.
- Customized Hazard Notifications:Construction sites have different levels of hazards, and the client wanted to notify the team.
- Holistic-View of Multiple Sites:Construction managers and builders work on multiple projects simultaneously, and it is difficult to handle activities at all of them.
