RIVET is a Workforce Management platform tailor-made for self-perform contractors
What’s RIVET? Glad you asked. RIVET is a Workforce Management platform made for self-perform contractors – electrical, mechanical, plumbing and more. Labor is the biggest risk on any job, and with RIVET you can mitigate it as a team. Forecasting labor and managing your field force, along with its certs and qualifications becomes a team sport, and creates a collaborative environment versus it all falling on one person.
Ultimately, this helps self-perform contractors staff projects efficiently with the right people so they’re completed on time and under budget. We do this in a few ways. Read on or watch the video below to find out how.
For self-perform contractors
Labor planning is hard, and most contractors report they struggle to do it well. It’s a delicate mix of buy-in from project teams and then holding them to consistent standards. At scale, strong Labor Planning and Workforce Management practices are success drivers for the best self-perform contractors. For contractors looking to expand their business, they leverage RIVET to marry people, process and technology to achieve profitable project outcomes.
Labor Planning
Forecasting labor empowers you to always have enough workers to get all your projects done. A Forecast is the aggregate of all the projects you’ve labor planned, measured against your workforce. With a strong Forecasting discipline, you can confidently bid and schedule projects years into the future. RIVET Forecasts will even automatically suggest the right amount of field employees and which roles to fill out the Labor Forecast with as projects ramp up.
Managing your field force
RIVET makes managing your field force and assigning the right person for the right job really easy. Each worker on the Roster Board has their own Baseball Card with their work history, specialties, certifications and personnel information like phone numbers and addresses.
This single source of information means, for example, if you need two certified skilled and trained journeyworkers in a specific ZIP code or union jurisdiction, you can filter for just those qualifications and staff a job with anyone who matches them. RIVET can also proactively alert you when worker certifications will expire as well so your field force is always ready to work.
