General construction is one of the most field intensive industries,
meaning that most of the activities are performed outside of the
corporate office. But, before recently, most of software automation
occured in the back-office, where construction management computerized
accounting, estimating, and project management functions.
LATISTA has introduced and successfully implemented a specific
solution for quality control, safety control and warranty management in the field -
Latista:Field software. Now mobile field workers: superintendents,
quality managers, warranty technicians, and subcontractors can
manage inspections and warranty repairs, and at the same time act
as an extended part of the homebuilding enterprise.
Not only field workers now can perform the functions existing in the
back-office systems, but due to the unique nature of field work,
mobile workers have a specialized set of software and hardware tools
that help making field work easy and efficient.
For example, construction safety, one of the major concerns of many
contractors, is greatly improved when safety managers can take pictures
of the work area, create corrective action requests, check with the punchlists
to make sure all precautions are taken, and get fresh data from the
corporate office.
