Yesterday’s downpour, a late arrival of materials, or an equipment
breakdown. Each new disruption could have significant consequences
on Jose’s deadlines.
In overseeing each job, Jose’s days were
filled with activities like calling the office
for a delivery status, reviewing paper
reports, or digging through bulging project
binders to find the latest approvals and
instructions—all in addition to managing
his crew. Someone always needed
something from him, and many days,
especially after a jobsite disruption such
as sudden weather, felt chaotic.
Sometimes it would take just too much
time to track down information or confirm
his recollection against documents
scattered across different places. But
the lack of easily available information
could result in some costly mistakes. With
so much to keep track of, and project

information difficult to corral and sometimes
spotty, Jose and his team spent a lot of
time moving forward on the job based
on assumptions rather than facts. They
sometimes missed opportunities for
creating and billing change orders, and
the need for rework if their assumptions
were wrong caused project delays and
increased costs.
Going to one place for project
information seemed almost too easy.
After the company started using Sage
100 Contractor with Sage Construction
Anywhere, jobsite challenges started
to smooth out. Jose can now get to the
information he needs to oversee each day
as he walks the site while using his tablet
or smartphone, making it easy for him and

his crew to quickly confirm that they are
on the right track—right where they are
working. He can also easily upload daily
site photos from his phone and tie them
directly into the job’s online project files,
so everyone on the team and back at the
office knows exactly where the project
stands at any moment in time.
Before, Jose was the only one who could
get to the job information needed to
direct the crew. Now team members can
use their own smartphones or tablets
to securely access their own project
drawings, documents, and more to get
clarifications as they work, keeping the
project moving and letting Jose focus on
other items needing his attention.
