ControlBoard is the first product engineered from the ground up to solve the problem of resource scheduling, tracking and dispatching in the commercial construction industry.

For years, the industry has struggled to find a viable construction management solution to counteract the drag on productivity caused by schedules that constantly change, capital assets that are difficult to locate and track, and the ongoing need to easily dispatch resources to the right people or job at the right time. ControlBoard is based upon extensive input from industry leaders who want a better solution and who want a more comprehensive construction project management software system.

Unlike project planning in which activities are simply planned, ControlBoard directly addresses the need to allocate resources to a job for a specific period of time (hourly, daily, weekly, ...) Project planning software is useful to create an overall job plan, but when it comes to running the day to day operations of a job, a different - and better - approach is required. Up until now, that approach meant using whiteboards, spreadsheets, word processors and e-mail to schedule the day-to-day resources needed on each job. ControlBoard picks up where project planning ends; it is an all inclusive construction management software system.

Easy to use, easy to learn. ControlBoard was designed for use by non-computer professionals to work the way you do. Within 30 minutes you'll be fully integrating your new construction project management software and scheduling resources more productively than with your current system. The ControlBoard screen mimics the look of a whiteboard but is powered by an intelligent database engine that tracks every change and communicates updates to every user of the system. The result is a construction management solution that coordinates your resources far more effectively.

Features:

Schedules. Create weekly and monthly resource schedules directly within ControlBoard. It replaces your whiteboard and significantly enhances the scheduling process. All scheduled resource changes are tracked. Assign the right resource to the job to maximize your profit. Simply click on a resource to view detailed information and notes on how best to utilize each resource.

Allocate Resources. Management can simply drag and drop equipment, people, crews and subcontractors to the appropriate jobs on the Schedule screen of the management software system. Immediately see how resources are being used. You'll also appreciate the built-in support for truck dispatching, crews and sub-contractors. For example, you can easily allocate a truck with materials, add a specific pick up or drop off point and show the job assignment.

Equipment location tracking. Since ControlBoard tracks all changes to the resource schedule, as well as all dispatched equipment moves, you'll always know the current and historical location of your assets through ControlBoard's fully integrated construction management solution.

Conflicts. Avoid conflicts through conflict alerts. If there is a conflict, it immediately displays in real-time so over allocation of resources is a thing of the past.

Task list. Remember when you created a spreadsheet or whiteboard schedule but you didn't really know what changed? ControlBoard tracks all of your changes and creates a task list of all relevant information you need to make decisions.

Reporting. ControlBoard supports both paper and electronic reporting. Reports are available on equipment locations, crew schedules, uncompleted jobs and many, many others.

Multi-user. ControlBoard supports from one to 100's of users. ControlBoard uses advanced technology based on Microsoft's .Net architecture to provide the power of a multi-user, real-time system into the most comprehensive construction management software system on the market. As a fully integrated construction management solution, the right information is available to the right people at the right time. Resource conflicts, schedules and reports are instantaneously available to everyone. No need to wait for an e-mail to be sent or a phone call to be made to find out which asset should be sent to what job.
