Key Features
Designed For Field Personnel
The 4castplus interface has been specifically designed for ease-of-use for construction workers. In addition to a simple interface, all entry options are pre-configured by project managers in the office so that site personnel only need to enter quantities. All the rates, tasks, allowances, codes and much more are already organized so as to simplify data entry.
Track Vendor Expenses and Vendor Accruals
Third-party vendor expenses can also be captured directly in the field. Site users can scan & upload the associated invoices or receipts as project artifacts. Vendor expenses can either be recorded against a pre-existing purchase order, or as a non-PO expense. 4castplus provides powerful tools and reporting to deliver deep insight into vendor expenses, accruals and adjustments.
One-Click LEM Reporting
4castplus provides customizable LEM reports that are available in a single click. Reports that summarize all the time, expenses, daily log and progress captured. Field staff can print the LEM report – then have it signed, scanned and uploaded back into 4castplus as a project artifact.
One-Touch Data – Direct Accounting Integration
All entries into 4castplus job tracking modules can be synchronized with your accounting system and payroll. Reduce errors and save valuable time – there’s just no need to touch this information more than once.
Offline or Cloud Versions
For users working in areas with sketchy internet connections, 4castplus provides an Offline interface which can be synchronized with the server later when the user has access to internet.
Document Management
On any day at the Jobsite, there can be a vast array of documents that need to be coordinated and accounted for. As part of this 4castplus field data capture tool, field personnel can upload all their documents – which will be attached to the day`s entries to keep them organized and cataloged. All the field guy needs to do, is drag and drop the document into the right drop zone, and the document will be tagged with an abundance of metadata for appropriate routing and classification.
Track Progress
Site personnel can track physical progress made on any activities. This progress can be used for determining Percent Complete, and for Unit Price projects.
