How digitization works to lower jobsite costs

Coordinating and organizing construction tasks, particularly when operating on multiple job sites simultaneously, is a job that must incorporate mobility as a basic variable. Your tasks also require simple record-keeping processes that are rigorous in key information to control the flow of inputs or fuel, and to maintain a clear view on the performance and health of machinery. 

For this, traditional management models are very rigid and cumbersome: tied to paper, they have difficulty in integrating the dynamism of mobility, or in updating their processes and incorporating new actors. We will then see how the digital geomanagement model allows systematizing information and processes, and directly reduces construction costs thanks to its achievements in efficiency and productivity.

Reduction of costs related to preventive maintenance

Thanks to digitalization, we can improve machinery maintenance, and this will generate different savings. A digital management system that generates alerts when certain life cycles of the machinery are fulfilled, allows us to operate preventive maintenance instead of waiting for failures to act. The history of each machine is recorded, as well as its current performance and working hours. 

This scheduled maintenance allows us to foresee the rotation between machines in order to always meet the demand, instead of the traditional cases in which, in the face of an unforeseen breakdown, the work flow must stop in order to carry out a repair. In addition, the care linked to preventive maintenance increases the useful life of the machinery, which also reduces costs.

Reduction of costs linked to fuel traceability

Geomanagement tools allow us to integrate suppliers into our work organization systems. By controlling payments and tracking each fuel dispatch, the people responsible for it, its destination and the performance obtained, we will never lose track of fuel purchases and consumption, which can be a costly variable and, depending on the complexity of our operations, difficult to manage. Thanks to geo-management, registration is a simple process and data reporting is systematic and in real time. 

Reduced costs associated with the elimination of paper records

These registration processes that we describe, in the geomanagement model, are always digital. Therefore, there is no misplacement as in the paper-based registry, the information is available in real time, and is automatically consolidated around key indicators. We will therefore save the costs of paperwork, storage and the administrative processes associated with this task.

Reduced costs linked to less idleness of the workforce and machinery

Thanks to geo-management, the performance and work schedules of operators and machinery are transparently recorded. Supervision becomes easier and less time-consuming, and management becomes more efficient as it has up-to-date information to detect faults or anomalies and act in time. 

At GoDoWorks, we work to make management tasks run as smoothly as possible so that, in the daily life of companies, management takes up less time and work, and solves more problems.

GDW Fleet is our geomanagement system for construction tasks that, by improving efficiency, increases productivity and lowers the costs of site operations.
