RIVET Workforce Management Webinar Series

Hosted by RIVET’s Director of Product Louis Gelinas. This topic is what keeps contractors up at night, it’s what everyone is chasing — a clear understanding of their future opportunities so they know which ones to actively pursue.

Contractors don’t only struggle when there’s not enough work, they go lose profits when they become overextended with more work than they can perform profitably. The projects market is a mine field with jobs everywhere, so having a strong forecasting practice is how to choose the right projects and choose which to avoid. Backlog management is all about maximizing the profits of the right jobs and when to aggressively chase more, and we’ll show how RIVET can support those strategies.

What to expect:

• Definitions, insights and example workflows for: balancing pursuit projects against existing commitments in the RIVET Platform including scenario planning and grooming forecasts*.
• We’ll show example workflows for evaluating awarded projects and making initial labor projections.
• Special Guest and RIVET super user Dustin Weller from Carlton Electric, Director of Field Operations, will share personal insights and experience on pursuit forecasting.

*We’ll deep dive into pursuit work forecasting while looking at tweaking backlog commitments. In our second webinar, we’ll dig into near-term labor planning for committed work. Fill the form for access to the full webinar recording & other insights from the webinar.

Hosted by RIVET’s Director of Product Louis Gelinas. Louis will walk-through workflows for near-term labor planning while considering composite rates, field labor requests and RIVET’s Job Plan Home Page.

Hosted by RIVET’s Product Manager Paul Carollo. Paul will tour the RIVET Platform Map feature for viewing the field workforce geographically alongside projects. He’ll also show the Transfer Drawer used for moving workers from one job to another, along with daily and weekly schedules.

Hosted by RIVET’s Product Manager Paul Carollo. Paul will demonstrate field workforce Certifications tracking, reporting and compliance. He’ll show use cases for configuring tags and using the map feature to view workforce qualifications by location.

Hosted by RIVET’s Director of Product Louis Gelinas. Louis will discuss RIVET integrations with accounting, ERP and payroll apps like Sage, Deltek ComputerEase, Foundation and Trimble Viewpoint or Trimble Construction One (formerly Spectrum). Integrations increase ROI for those existing applications, and decrease context-switching for users when you bring them all into our labor operations platform. Platform features like Labor Plans and Jobs Work in Progress can be used to compare labor estimates vs. actuals to support measuring Labor Productivity.

The most successful contractors implementing a Workforce Management software transformation have a thoughtful, subdivided configuration of their company divisions, business units that creates seamless filtering for different groups. This is even more important the larger the contractor is, where segmentation of data and worker access is critical for different groups in the company.

Join RIVET Product Manager Paul Carollo to review RIVET’s recent organization groups feature release and how it impacts current RIVET users.

Before this feature release, customers relied on display groups and saved views for filtering different groups in the company. Now, the RIVET Platform features a dynamic multi-level org chart that perfectly represents the company org structure with multiple layers of nested groups, creating a better in-app experience that maps to your business. RIVET’s organization groups give you a universal groups filter for effortlessly navigating the app and only seeing the data and labor demand insights relevant to the org group(s) you are filtered by. Unique to RIVET, you can visualize workers loaned to other groups and labor pools with no double counting of workers shared across groups.

Investing time in configuring or reconfiguring your RIVET experience to match the complexity of your organization will create better business outcomes related to labor utilization, team collaboration and profitability.

What to expect:

• Example Organization Group configurations including: national contractors with regional offices, larger single-trade contractors that segment by vertical or business units and larger multi-trade contractors that segment by trade groups
• Guidance and recommendations for current RIVET customers with ERP/accounting integration that will require more time investment
