B2W Schedule Reviews
"A user friendly tool for planning and scheduling"
Overall: Construction and crew based scheduling is the most beneficial part of this tool. The scheduling can be updated on hourly or daily basis. Exporting scheduling assignments is also very convenient and helpful as it makes the jobs of the crew members very easy.
Pros: The implementation of this software in our research work has helped our research team a lot and brought a lot of broken work flows to the surface.B2W has not only made the scheduling and planning easer for us, it has also allowed us to track and capture costs in a more efficient and detailed manner.
Cons: The reports are not easily customizable. This is the only flaw, otherwise this is an excellent and a user friendly software.
"Lancaster Development review of B2W Schedule"
Overall: The system has reduced the number of emergencies that result from poor planning.
Pros: The ability to associate Crews with Production Targets. The ability to create custom views within the system. The system is "live" at all times so that all changes are immediately displayed. The ability to track materials at locations/jobs.
Cons: The speed of the system is an issue when adding to the schedule as each action requires the system to refresh. The inability to "move" multiple crew assignments or production targets simultaneously. Should be able to "select" multiple and move all at once. Need to add the ability to use Schedule for aggregate, asphalt and concrete manufacturing facilities including mix designs and inventories.
"Schedule review"
Overall: It has helped up integrate our schedule to our crews and get away from excel and email then phone calls to everyone for work the next day.
Pros: It's great to be able to track employees, equipment, build out crews and assign work assignments and equipment moves.
Cons: It's a bit of work on the setup and must make sure things get moved in the system so it is accurate with where you're equipment may physically be. Also setup of our jobsites is difficult since our jobsite moves daily in road construction versus vertical building where the jobsite address is always the same.
"B2W Schedule impact on our Construction Season"
Overall: Before using B2W Schedule we were using a combination of MS Project and MS Excel. The entire process was manual and very time consuming. We are a seasonal construction business and every day counts, so by having the flexibility of B2W Schedule to see day by day, or weeks at a time, all of our scheduled jobs- it has a huge impact in how much work we can get done during the sunny days we have. And if rains- the push/pull functionality has been a tremendous time saver!
Pros: Integration with Viewpoint Vista is the most valuable part of this platform. Taking the manual steps of creating a schedule in Excel or MS Project has been an enormous time saver. Also, integrations with Track have been very helpful to our road construction crews. They can see in real time what is happening with their scheduled jobs.
Cons: What do I like least...that it doesn't build the schedule for us automatically using AI? Just kidding- this is our second season using Schedule and it just keeps getting better. The B2W team listens to our concerns and requests and almost always has a solution in development.
"A great transition from paper schedules to B2W Schedule."
Overall: Overall the transition was a great experience. We are much more efficient with our planning and forecasting, and enjoy the integration with B2W Estimate and Tracks.
Pros: The crew based scheduling is likely the most useful part of the program. We are easily able to build and change crews on the fly, on a daily basis. Exporting scheduling assignments directly to B2W Tracks is also handy as it makes the Foreman's job to fill out their paperless timesheet very easy.
Cons: The only two downsides to this program are that there isnt an easy way to distinguish between day and nights (different colours on the schedule would be key), and the reports are not very customizable. We run both day and night shifts daily, and they often roll the next days dayshift on the same report as tonight's night shift.
