Forecasting Your Way to Efficiency

Service Management,  Payroll, Field Reporting, and Human Resources are four areas that have a huge impact on the construction industry.  I am always amazed by the cost savings and efficiency gains achieved when I help implement one of these four web based solutions at hh2.  I work with clients every day that are managing their projects the "old school" way and are looking for change.  Although the construction industry has been built around brick, mortar, steel and hard labor, technology has a huge role in this field.  

Wireless technology has changed the playing field in the construction industry.  Project  Managers and field superintendents are no longer tied to a desktop, or lugging around large laptops to access or update job information.  Gone are the days when construction technology amounted to faxing in paper time sheets.  Consider new alternatives to managing your business through the latest technology.


 The use of advanced technology has lagged in the construction industry.  Several reasons include the boom and bust economic cycle to which the industry is subject, which can make it difficult for companies to maintain consistent technological progress.  Also, it takes time for technology to be embraced on the jobsite.  While this is partially true, in my experience I have found that contractors are quick to adopt new technologies once they discover the dramatic effect it has on their job efficiency.  

If these obstacles can be overcome, the application of web based technology will have numerous benefits. Something as simple as communication between the office and field employees has been revolutionized by technology.  hh2's success in web based construction services is a testament to the many construction companies who use our products remotely.

A recent success story includes a testimonial from a large contractor who was able to cut payroll processing time from 30 hours to three.  The time saved using hh2 Remote Payroll,  was rolled over to  other office activities sensitive to tight deadlines.  

In conclusion, let hh2 Web Services help you implement and change your business by managing information in new, dynamic ways and by creating collaborative data paths to interact with crews, contractors and customers.  Isn't it time you take advantage of technology and find ways to be more efficient?
