During your time in the industry, what once might have been a small operation with your crew has now become a large task spanning several cities, vendors, and clients, and has become increasingly difficult to manage. It might been easy back then to call your foreman on-site and go over the work needed, but nowadays you just can’t be everywhere to provide the attention needed, due to the many variables involved.
Technology has come a long way from word of mouth and printed paper to a series of solutions to provide an optimal way to communicate and collaborate, but the many options sometimes scatter and compartmentalize this information, making it hard to know something as simple as an ETA for a project. In this case, a centralized office with knowledgeable staff goes a long way in moving your projects along, but at a large financial cost.
While at first, it seems like the integration and adoption of technology can be a positive addition to your business process, keeping the focus on how information flows and making it actionable can be challenging.
This information can be provided in a mass email to your staff, or be sent in a text message, or in a group meeting, with no real guarantee of it reaching the specific team members and keeping a reliable record of the tasks at hand.
How does Sweven help you improve communication with a reliable database?
Let each person know what is important for them.
Sweven can be provided to clients and vendors in a web portal and to technicians on mobile. These platforms help you provide up-to-the-minute information to the person you want to reach without the need to contact anywhere else and keep a detailed registry of the information exchange, which might be useful for reference of the project.
Notifies of a new task instantly.
Whenever a new task has been created, or assigned of changed status, selected members can be notified and made aware automatically of this update. There is no need to double-check or contact the vendor or client to ensure they have this information available and can use Sweven as an information repository for the task. All in one place!
Keeps your vendors and contacts organized.
Sweven’s List Manager helps you keep a detailed list of information, including vendor documentation and qualifications, email and phone numbers of all your stakeholders, your assets and their locations, among others.
If you need to know who to get in touch with or if a vendor has the necessary paperwork, accessing this information is made simple by Sweven, select the aggregator you want to get more information on and click on it to get all the data you need.
