Smart Cost Data is the all-in-one solution for tracking people, plant, equipment and progress.
Save up to 25% on administration costs and optimise operative’s time with an all-in-one alternative to daily allocation sheets.
Each day, construction projects must capture detailed time records related to people, machinery and activity on site, but around 60% of construction firms are still using time-consuming and inefficient paper-based methods to produce these daily time records. The paper copies are handed to the project office where someone must scan them to a shared drive. A team member must then manually enter the data into a spreadsheet and report back to the wider project management team. This process requires significant time and resources, and major infrastructure projects often require a full-time person just to process the site sheets. The process can also lead to human error and significant delay to project oversight, with reports sometimes delayed by weeks.
SCD is developing the Smart Cost Time Tracker, a platform that digitally records people, equipment and progress for construction industry projects and gives instant updates and daily reports. SCD can save companies up to 25% in administration time and deliver the accurate, up-to-date data needed to monitor performance and add value to the project and company. The tracker provides construction companies with a better understanding of project performance and control over costs and revenue to reduce risks and support business growth.
Who’s it for?
Smart Cost Data is built for the construction sector, with a range of trackers tailored around the requirements of projects on site. Foremen, project managers, personnel and administration staff can all record into the system and view progress from both mobile or desktop. Global accessibility and unlimited users means the application can be used across your whole team, as well as by external stakeholders such as investors.
How it can help you
The construction industry continues to be held back by paper-based administration processes. There are endless instances of lost paperwork onsite (allocation sheets / site daily diary), unreliable data, lack of project visibility and extensive administration hours uploading site paperwork into a digital format.
By taking construction management paperwork digital Smart Cost Data creates unparalleled productivity savings, freeing workers’ time and focus. The paperless app holds all of your documentation securely in the cloud, for easy accessibility and no possibility of misplacement. Recording directly into the app means there’s no downtime waiting for documentation to be processed, so managers can act responsively to issues in real time. Smart Cost Data is removing paper from construction sites, for good.
