HomeBuilder Construction Scheduling: Smartphones & Tablets Add Features

Are you an Operations Director or Manager in the home building world?  Field Manager? Superintendent? 
FieldConnect Mobile for your iPhone!

Do you think an iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone or tablet brings anything "extra" to your construction scheduling universe?  Apart from goodies such as easy-to-scroll lot lists or the ability to pinch/expand screens?  Take a look at FieldConnect Mobile to see how a cross-platform job-site scheduling tool takes advantage of the hardware you are carrying around in your pocket!

We'd like to suggest thinking about your phone or tablet in a slightly different (perhaps, more casual) fashion for a minute.  Does it have a camera?  See a problem with the header on Lot 26? Take a photo and include it in a task note, punch list or email directly to your sub!

Using an Android device? Now, you can walk your jobsite and "talk" your task notes using the phone.  "What?" you might ask.  You've seen the ability to switch keyboards -- one choice is a microphone.  It turns speech into text!  No more typing, using a stylus or trying to keep up.  Speech-to-text makes input straightforward.

FieldConnect Mobile..selected as a 2012 Top Product by Constructech...we'd love to show you more of the reasons why!

CPS' FieldConnect Mobile Selected as Constructech Top Product

OK...sometimes we have to step back and blow our own horn!  Today is one of those days as we're thrilled to announce FieldConnect Mobile was selected by Constructech as a 2012 Top New Product!

FieldConnect Mobile: 2012 Top Product!
What makes FieldConnect Mobile worthy of notice?  Constructech says they selected: " ...technology solutions that have demonstrated the greatest innovations geared toward the homebuilding market."

FieldConnect Mobile definitely meets that criteria: it provides a cross-platform construction scheduling tool for Field Managers to use on the job-site. That means Field Managers can select either an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet -- they're not tied to a specific device and they can probably use something already in their pocket!

What's really important, however, is what our homebuilder clients say about FieldConnect Mobile and how it improves their construction process, reduces cycle time, increases carry rates and improves communications:

"Easy-to-use software; works like my project flows; keeps my subs informed when schedules change;"

"Provides lot-by-lot schedules;"

"Gives me a tool that not only schedules but keeps my subcontractors up-to-date with the Collaborate portal;"

"Allows me to take pictures and publish them so my homebuyers can see the stage of construction images -- and allows me to remind subcontractors of problems before we can too far along;"

"Appreciate the fact that I can schedule both single-family and multifamily projects using the same software."

Thank you, Constructech, for recognizing FieldConnect Mobile as a software solution designed to help home builders build more effectively and efficiently!
