Enables online viewing/tracking of work progression – irrespective of the location of the work – in real-time, throughout the day, on digital charts and dashboards. This eliminates the necessity to be physically present on location and ensures awareness of who did what, when, and on what equipment (through time, user and GPS timestamps). Additionally, the time required for update and handover meetings is reduced; more time is left to make better decisions based on real-time data; available resources are optimally utilized; and more work can be performed with less people.

Better synchronization and control of contractor scheduling and work execution, ensuring that contractors are in the right place, at the right time, with the information, tools, equipment and materials they need. In addition to reducing wasted time, this increases productivity through better contractor surveillance, supervision, accountability and traceability and ensures that less contractors are present at any given time. Digitalization ensures that all information required to work is available in digital checklists on any mobile device, and delivers the agility and flexibility to easily and rapidly change roll-outs and procedures, and make contractors aware of them immediately.

Improves schedule updating processes (several hours daily) by eliminating much of the manual effort currently associated with this process, such as the manual collection of status updates from field supervisors and meeting with schedulers to provide collated updates. Digitalization means that supervisors do not have to supervise contractor work, which can be reviewed and approved online, in real-time. This eliminates the wait to manually receive often out-of-date and inconsistent documents and data from multiple sources; reduces administrative tasks; improves decision-making quality and speed; saves time and reduces risks.

Streamlines reporting by eliminating the collation of notes, digital photos, and handwritten data from clipboards; transposing of data to systems of record; the duplication of data entry; and the countless hours spent working with software to create the required documentation. Furthermore, expert personnel (SMEs and contractors) require less office time for administrative tasks (reducing social interactions) and quality, consistency and compliance are improved while reducing supervision resource and wrench time.

Real-time status displays eliminate being several shifts behind activities and issues currently occurring in the field, enabling immediate, proactive and reactive responses when they count. This reduces delays by providing an understanding of the real priorities; allows more time for critical tasks; improves quality; and eliminates the cost and time associated with rework.

Real-time, online dashboards eliminate the need for all stakeholders to be onsite for review and approval, enabling global and distributed businesses to function with less reliance on travel. Systems operating globally improve consistency and get economies of scale, while digital tools allow management to function independently of location and time zones.

A considerable part of the work day is no longer lost waiting for instructions, or searching for resolutions to problems that may even have been prevented before they escalated. Increased productivity and social distancing and achieved through the elimination of waiting in groups and lines for permits to work, and trips to the office to get information.
