We have an app, too! 3 ways ours saves you time and money

The Buildertrend app is a lot like the Wall of China or Roman Colosseum.

Don’t believe us? Consider this. It’s not one of the great Seven Wonders of the World, but our app is a great modern marvel for the construction industry. Innovative. Imaginative. Ingenious. It shares these traits with those celebrated monuments – but we’d like to see Machu Picchu save your business major moolah and minutes.

That’s what makes our mobile app so powerful. It helps your business move forward towards the future, not the past (sorry, Seven Wonders). You’re leaving behind business practices so archaic they might as well pre-date the Colosseum.

On-the-go and ready to grow! That’s the Buildertrend mobile app way.

You might be familiar with our construction project management software, but did you know one of the reasons we’re the leading solution across the industry is our mobile app. It’s more than a feature. It’s a new way of (work) life. Here are the three ways our homebuilder app saves you time and money.

1) Paper cut

Paper problems plaguing projects? Yeah, you’re not alone. Invoices, contracts, schedules, notes … and the list goes on. All that paper sure isn’t cheap either.

Construction businesses become cutting-edge when they give paper the cut before it cuts them. With the Buildertrend app, your jobs become as mobile as you are, and paper is left in the past. All those documents we just mentioned are now in the palm of your hand, accessible from anywhere at any time.

Being able to tap into the cloud gives all team members access, too. From their devices, they can view files, upload changes, see data – even when they’re on the construction site.

However, going paperless is just smart from a security standpoint, too. If a fire or flood comes and a paper trail is your only system of record, there goes your business up in ashes. A mobile app helps you save money, lets you search any document on the fly and keeps it all safe in the cloud.

2) Real reports in real time

Here’s a not-so-fun fact: Only 29% of construction business owners use apps routinely on all their projects. However, 80% of professionals think that mobile technology is a high priority.

It’s time to bridge that gap with the Buildertrend app. The prior paragraph is proof that data tells a story. Numbers don’t lie – and there’s power in what they are communicating. The same could be said of the data waiting to be revealed about your business. That’s where Buildertrend comes in.

Why wait until the end of the day to pull a report? Right from your phone or tablet, you can now get updates on the field, while talking with a client, from the comfort of your couch. We’re talking wherever, whenever! See those profit margins, dig deep into your budget, access total billings and more.

Your cell phone now doubles as a crystal ball. With the Buildertrend app, project managers can analyze current performance to predict what moves to make next.

3) Tick tock. Time savings rock

According to McKinsey & Company, almost 80% of all construction projects are behind schedule. How? Why?! What?!!

A variety of factors are to blame. Improper organization, inadequate communication, contractual misunderstandings and poor planning – just to name a few. The bright side? All of that is made better with the Buildertrend app.

Sounds like a lofty promise, we know. But here’s how:

• Organization receives a boost when every step of the construction process is right at your fingertips
• Communication between all parties involved in a build takes place right in the app (see ya, countless emails!)
• Contracts and electronic signatures are right on your phone, too
• Planning becomes a breeze with features like the Schedule tool

All this productivity leads to the type of time savings your business needs to fit in more projects. And you know what more projects means, right? More money!

There’s an app for that

Our phone is where it all happens. It’s good for more than just likes and favorites. Tweets and trendy hashtags. It’s good for business.

With the COVID-19 crisis making remote work for construction more important than ever, mobile apps allow projects to progress while keeping safety of your crew and clients top of mind. The Buildertrend app has always been powerful, but never as strong as it is now.

That strength could be yours, too. Try our construction software today.

Your business is app-solutely better with Buildertrend.
