Watch Training: Pursuit Forecasting & Backlog Management
Contractors consistently tell us that they struggle for two reasons: when there isn’t enough work to keep everyone busy, and when they’re overextended and drowning in too much work.
Both of these situations affect profitability. And, both can be avoided by having strong Forecasting practices in place at your specialty contracting company.
In our first webinar devoted to showcasing advanced workflows and RIVET platform features, Co-founder and Director of Product Louis Gelinas was joined by Carlton Electric’s Director of Field Operations Dustin Weller to talk all about Labor Forecasting for jobs in pursuit.
“My senior superintendents and I being able to know exactly what’s going on with manpower both presently and upcoming is huge,” Weller said. “This thing works.”
Louis walked through workflows in the RIVET Workforce Management Platform for:
1. How to see all pursuit projects on a dashboard revealing Workforce Capacity
2. How to use prospective job statuses to segment pursuit Labor Plans from active Labor Plans
3. How to create a new job in RIVET for pursuit projects
4. How to use Labor Plans for scenario planning
