Workplace productivity and enhanced tracking enable secure file storage with encrypted linking and file sharing. File versioning capabilities with timestamps help store multiple versions of files with quick restore capabilities and greater collaboration.

7. Slide 8 ▪ Manage multiple construction tasks with proactive Task management Assigning tasks with iFieldSmart Technologies is quick and easy. A simple form with task name, due date, status, and assigning capabilities can help track project activities and tasks. Tracking work progress with time sliders can help teams follow task duration with precise descriptions for other stakeholders to follow. Slide 9 ▪ Improving construction photos for documentation & tracking with Lens 360 360 - Degree photo documentation has gained significant popularity amongst construction firms to represent the entire view and navigate to various and specific components. Reinforced with construction management software, this rich source of visual data can be leveraged to capture and track project progress.

8. Slide 10 Scrap attachments through email. While it seems easy to send onsite photos through email, it is an inefficient method to transfer photos as it creates a trail of confusion and inaccurate data. Images can lack the right context or meaning if not delivered at the right time through emails. Capturing and sending onsite photos directly from the field to a mobile platform or device and mapping them to drawings, reports, and documents through cloud-based software delivers an accurate and clear reference. With construction management software like iFieldSmart and its integrated tools, contractors can tag and annotate photos with 2D drawings to achieve greater viewer context. Capturing As-Built details, and identifying & resolving issues helps contractors and other stakeholders make informed decisions. RFI’s raised on issues can be solved quickly through greater depth of context. Slide 11

9. Greater structure for file storage. Fragmented photo storage can be misleading, and consumes a lot of space. Automated or AI-based photo documentation software can save time and promote greater usability. Pushing photos to a centralized storage system reinforced with tagging can help identify locations, work type, onsite conditions, subcontractor location, etc. Photo filtering capabilities through advanced tagging can help general contractors and sub-contractors better search results and build imagery reports. Slide 12 Tagging imagery to specific onsite locations. Tagging photos with GPS systems can help contractors access the job site remotely. Geo-tagging onsite photos can diminish manual work and stakeholders can get a perspective through various map views. Conduct hassle-free site inspections.
