IRVINE, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/28/13 — Sage North America today announced the release of new mobile time collection and project file capabilities in , a cloud-based collaborative solution.
Sage Construction Anywhere integrates with (formerly Sage Timberline Office) to provide construction professionals with anytime, anywhere access to the project information needed to keep their jobs moving forward and will soon also integrate with Sage 100 Contractor (formerly Sage Master Builder). The solution-s initial release last spring gave Sage 300 customers the ability to access Sage 300 project reports anywhere, anytime on any mobile device or personal computer.
The latest release addresses a key area of process improvement for many contractors — automating the collection and approval of employee time worked in the field. “One of the most common areas of opportunity for a construction company to strengthen a project-s financial performance is to improve its visibility into labor costs and potential profitability threats earlier in the project,” said Jon Witty, vice president and general manager of Sage Construction and Real Estate. “Making it simple for employees to provide employee timecard information in the field using phones and tablets better positions a company to collect necessary labor information sooner so they can course-correct faster.”
The new Time capabilities within Sage Construction Anywhere provide employees and supervisors the ability to use an iPhone, or soon an Android, “app” to quickly and easily submit employee time worked on a project. Submitted time can be reviewed and approved using the mobile app or online within Sage Construction Anywhere, and once approved, the information flows to Payroll and Job Cost to provide the latest view of labor costs on the job.
The release also features Project Files capability that provides project teams with online access to share and easily retrieve project documents, drawings and photos from one central location. On-the-spot access to the latest information, while at the job site, saves foremen and superintendents time associated with tracking down information needed to correctly complete a task, reducing the risk and cost of potential rework, getting it done right the first time.
“Sage Construction Anywhere has made my job tremendously easier,” said Billy Tate, a foreman at Dean Crowder Construction, a Sage Construction Anywhere customer. “When I-m on a piece of equipment, I can look down at my iPad and see every aspect of the job in my hand without having to go to the office and dig through stacks of prints. That-s invaluable. I thought it was going to be a big learning curve, but it really hasn-t been as difficult as what I expected.”
