Electrical Contractors use RIVET for labor management and labor utilization every day. Here are a few who want to share their experiences with you:
Westphal & Co. Inc.
For Westphal, RIVET is critical for labor planning and workforce capacity. “We know what gaps we have to fill in with work. We know if we’re getting strung out or overloaded,” said Dan Zurawik, President. “We’ll schedule out two years depending on what work we have in our backlog.”
CSI Electrical Contractors
For CSI, RIVET is vital to consolidate field labor requests.alongside forecasts and schedules. “We manage the state of California with a lot of unions, and they all ask for labor differently. Now with RIVET, it’s consistent.” said David Pelayo, Director of HR & Technology.

The RIVET platform centralizes many of your labor operations functions, making them accessible from virtually anywhere. It supports field operations workflows with Forecasting, Rostering, Scheduling, Dispatch and Reporting. To avoid redundant data entry, job and worker details can be easily imported from ERP and HRIS systems.
The Workforce Management Business Practice connects your People, Process and Technology to your Field Operations. We break it down into categories: Forecast, Roster, Schedule, Communication, Information and Productivity. Finally, we work with you on workflow mapping during implementation of the RIVET Platform.
Change is hard. If you already have a good labor management process then adding a platform this isn’t as hard as you think. If you don’t have good processes in place, it’s harder but it’s worth it. Ask yourself: why will this be hard in your business? We can help you with that part, too. Here are some best practices for tech adoption: https://www.rivet.work/portfolio/understanding-technology-adoption/
Labor coordinators are typically extremely stressed, and that’s usually because they don’t have the right tool. Without the right tech in place, the people and processes are obstructed. Liberate your labor planners from their spreadsheet prisons. You have a tool for every other department, why not for labor?
No. For perspective, most of our customers don’t have their field leaders using the platform. Instead, they are consuming information from RIVET that is sent to them. This will save them time because they see exactly who should be on the job site today and how to contact them if they didn’t show up.
It’s significantly more expensive than a RIVET platform subscription. We invest millions into our product every year so that we can provide subscriptions at a significant value for the construction industry. Finally, building your own platform is also distracting and takes time away from people that add value to your business otherwise.
RIVET actually buys time back for the contractors we work with. For example, we can take your weekly labor meeting from 2 hours to 20 minutes. That’s already a huge reason to change, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg in terms of value we can provide.
That’s an understandable dilemma. If you want to integrate RIVET with your ERP immediately, you might want to wait. However, there’s still value in having RIVET non-integrated. We can help you weigh the pros and cons of that.
The RIVET Platform does not measure Productivity. However, features like Labor Plans and Jobs Work in Progress can compare labor estimates to actuals. For the best results, consistently scheduling to the Forecast ensures these features are leveraged best.
