Sage Construction Anywhere: Go Where the Work Takes You

By now, most of you have heard of one of Sage’s newest cloud solutions, Sage Construction Anywhere. Helping your remote team make informed decisions, Sage Construction Anywhere gives them secure, real-time access to Sage 300 CRE reports and project information anytime, anywhere, from phones, tablets and other web-enabled devices.

With a new monthly subscription fee-based model for Sage Construction Anywhere customers, Sage is paving the way for businesses to leverage the efficiency of the cloud in their organizations. Beginning in March of 2013, Sage Construction Anywhere started offering two new valuable services: Time and Project Files.

Time – Tackles one of the most common areas of opportunity for construction companies; visibility to labor costs and profitability. By strengthening field-to-office communication and offering new capabilities to collect, review and approve employee timecard information, Sage addresses this challenge with this newest enhancement.

If you have staff working in the field and you need to get time entries from their various locations, employees and supervisors can use an iPhone or Android app to quickly and easily submit employee time worked on a project and link it to activities performed (cost codes). Submitted time can then be reviewed and approved using the mobile app or online in Sage Construction Anywhere. Once finalized, the Payroll department can share the approved time with Sage CRE Payroll and Job Cost. Automating time collection and approval speeds up companies access to accurate, complete Payroll information, and to the Job Costing information needed to spot potential labor issues and profit erosion sooner.

Project Files – Makes it effortless to provide project teams online access to share and retrieve project documents, drawing and photos. With a central location for sharing and storing all files, everyone has access to the latest information available when planning and acting, including field staff. Foremen and superintendent have on-the-spot access while at the site ensuring they have all the details needed to make sure the work is done correctly the first time.

With the existing Project Reports service, Sage Construction Anywhere users can access Sage 300 project reports through any mobile device or PC. Integrating these newest enhancements, Sage 300 is dedicated to helping customers take their business to the next level. For more information Sage Construction Anywhere, call CPA Technology and talk to Fred at 610-862-0039.
