Win More Bids with 3 Must-Have Employee Time Tracking Features for Progress 

By Shannon Corgan, Director of Marketing

Project bidding is getting more and more competitive each day. The more accurate you’re tracking labor hours and the associated production units completed by task, employee, or crew, the more you can rely on actual costs to build accurate future bids with information from your mobile employee time tracking solution. With an employee time tracking solution like WorkMax TIME, you will be confident in your historical actual project costs which will allow you to bid more aggressively and ultimatelly win more business. 

Here are the 3 must-have employee time tracking features that are going to win you more bids: 

Personalize Units of MeasurePersonalize Units of Measure to Fit your Business – If your unit of measure for what is completed or produced on your projects isn’t standard cubic feet of concrete laid per day or square feet of drywall installed, you don’t have to worry. WorkMax TIME allows you to personalize the labels for your units of measure to make sure you can accurately track what’s produced on your projects. You choose your units of measure to match what your employees complete on the project. If you’re a honey farmer and you measure the honey produced in each beehive in gallons per day, you have the flexibility to create a unique unit of measure that works for your business. This means you can better estimate what that colony of bees will produce in the future for more accurate and predictable revenue. You can also identify if there are any issues by comparing historical production units to current production units. When you’re creating bids and estimates, you will know you are always comparing apples to apples when you reference similar projects to bid on new projects. The more accurate you can get with your labor hours for your bids the more aggressive you can bid on the project. 

 

Enter Production Units By EmployeeEmployees Prompted to Enter Production Units On Task Change – When employees are using their mobile devices to track their production units, WorkMax TIME prompts employees to enter their production units every time they change tasks or activities. Typically, a supervisor is completing a daily log report to discuss progress on a project. Even if they wait to enter what they completed for the day on a Daily Log Report, you’re relying on their memory after a long hard day’s work. They may have forgotten a few things that their crew completed by the end of the day. Throughout the day, your employees can see what they’ve accomplished and it will motivate them to get as much done each day as possible. The sooner they add in their production units, the more accurate the production units are. As a result, your bids are more accurate.

 

 

Track Production Units Per TaskTrack Production Units Per Task – Get accurate production units and know how much has been completed per task during the day from the comfort of your office. Everyone in the field and in the office will know what has been completed throughout the day from any mobile device too. Another reason you want to track production units per task is that your project may have tasks that have dependent tasks or activities. You’ll want to know when the first task is done before your staff starts on the dependent tasks to make sure your project schedule stays on track. By tracking production units per task, you’re also making sure that you’re comparing the same task or activity to the same activities. This helps you create more accurate bids based on how many man-hours it would take to complete a project.
