Manage Multiple Sites

New features in Astral Technologies’ Construction ERP are aimed at streamlining site-level activities, vital for companies managing multiple sites. For instance, “GPS-based attendance tracking helps construction companies track the headcount on multiple sites on a real-time basis,” says Deepen Goratela, Founder, Astral Technologies. “Incorporating this feature in a mobile app makes it handy for those on site. They check in on arrival and check out at the end of their shift.”

Managing multiple sites was a key challenge for ACE Project Management Consultant. The company needed a solution to draw up estimates, plan the use of resources, analyse budgets, schedule work and generate daily progress reports to track the live status of projects.
