MOBILE SCHEDULING

This remote application allows a builder to update a scheduled activity, approve purchase orders*, manage variances, maintain quality control walk-throughs, initiate vendor notifications and send text and email messages to suppliers. Mobile Scheduling improves the communication between the home office and the job site. Using Mobile Scheduling, superintendents can monitor, control, and communicate daily construction activities. From the field, they're able to keep accurate construction schedules and have the information they need to reduce costly errors and maintain consistent cycle times.

Our Mobile Scheduling application has all the features found in our popular and award-winning "Wireless Scheduling" and works on any browser-based device, including BlackBerry, iPhone, iPad, Droid, Palm Pre, netbooks, laptops, etc.

The advantages of a browser-based application are:

• No rollout procedure to deploy the client to your phones or laptops: it's accessible from any device that has a browser and internet connectivity
• No upgrade procedures to the phones or laptops: all new features are implemented at the server level and automatically delivered to the end user
• No disk space on the phone
• Cross-platform usability: any smart phone, BlackBerry, or iPad device can nicely render the interface to the end user
• No waiting to synchronize all the schedules
• Real-time communication with the host application and database

Seamless integration
Using browser-based devices, Mobile Scheduling enables you to keep on track with the project. Improved communication with trades and suppliers lowers the cycle time of a project. Additionally, with the integration to Sage Timberline Office or the entire BuilderMT Workflow Management Suite, builders have the ability to:
