Take back your independence and ditch that pen and paper

Are you ready to clear off that desk, get rid of those stacks of paper and leave those filled-to-the-brim filing cabinets behind? Wouldn’t it be nice to have all the files you need in one central location that you can access from anywhere at anytime?

Yeah – we thought so.

Old-fashioned pen and paper are out. Buildertrend is in. We have all the tools you need to keep your files organized and manage your projects with ease. Here are just three reasons why it’s time to take back your independence and ditch that pen and paper.

Say goodbye to manual scheduling and get jobs done on time

We don’t have to tell you that the key to success for any job is being able to keep projects on track, avoid delays and make deadlines. As cheerleaders of your success, we work hard to give you all the tools you need to get the job done and on time.

Let’s take a minute to get acquainted with our digital Scheduling feature, what we like to call the backbone of our platform, and for good reason. No, really. We’re not just biased. Scheduling is the key to your success.

In order to keep projects on track, it’s important to communicate and keep everyone on the same page. Buildertrend makes it easy for you to share your schedule items with your team, subcontractors and clients. In addition to effective communication, you can use the schedule to assign to-do items and ensure accountability.

Using Buildertrend’s digital schedule will allow for efficiency when managing your job timelines as well as your office meetings. Hit a bump in the road and need to make a quick shift? No problem! Schedule items in Buildertrend can be linked together, so a fast timeline update can be made in less than a minute with just a couple clicks – no paper or printers needed.

The days of shuffling paperwork and making dozens of daily phone calls are in the past. Use Buildertrend to schedule, make changes in real time and update your team instantly.

Keep your financials on track and manage budgets with ease

Staying on top of cashflow is the most important part of construction project management and often times it can get overwhelming. But with Buildertrend’s extensive list of financial management tools, you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Applying financial features like Bids, Estimates, Bills and POs, Invoices and Change Orders makes it easy to keep your multiple projects moving. And you can take advantage of Buildertrend’s financial reports in order to track the money coming in and out on a daily basis.

We should also mention that you can say goodbye to paper checks and inconvenient trips to the bank. Buildertrend offers online payment processes to streamline and simplify the way you pay and get paid.

Maintain organized change orders and client selections

It’s unrealistic to think that mistakes never happen on the job site, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try your best to avoid them, right?

By storing all important files such as change order requests and product selections in one central document location, you’re reducing the chance of things getting lost. More importantly, you’re keeping things organized and making it much harder for job site mistakes to happen.

Gone are the days where change orders are missed, selections are lost and budgets are blown. Using unlimited document storage with Buildertrend will ensure all your files for each project are neatly organized in job-specific folders.

And no need for printing hard copies of plans or documents. With the Buildertrend mobile app, all documents, plans and photos are available whenever and wherever you need them.
