Custom Applications
Below are examples of custom solutions developed for our clients. Generally, a connection will be made to a data source (such as an accounting system) to retrieve or feed core company data (e.g., employees, jobs, etc.). This ensures that data is synchronized and consistent and adheres to security roles. Some solutions were all cloud-based.
Customer Portal (SharePoint Online)
A manufacturing client wanted to give customers access to submit orders and the necessary documentation to receive a quote. The customer can also check the status of an order or submit an order for scheduling. The portal interfaces with Project Online.
Power BI Dashboard
This project involved pulling data from multiple sources to create a dashboard for internal use displaying metrics for employee consumption.
Equipment Inventory
This application tracks inventory for equipment and supplies used by employees. Employees receive a progressive discount as they move up in skill level. Statements show what an employee owes, and the amount is deducted from their paycheck.
Bid Management
This application manages bids throughout their lifecycle. When a bid is won, the job record is created in the core ERP system, the estimate is set up, and related Word documents are created. It is also used to manage other work related to the bid process.
Contract Management
Cost to complete WIP reporting tool for construction. Includes projections and connects to multiple data sources.
Employee Safety Training Tracking
This program tracks training, certifications, and violations for workers in the construction industry. The employee data comes from Timberline and is always in sync – as changes are made in Timberline, they are fed to the training application.
Not the typical request
A client needed to have video files renamed according to the project for which they were generated. Previously, this was a time-consuming, manual process. The solution we created reads a list of video files from a USB drive, retrieves information from a video recording application, and uses the information to rename the files. Custom reports are generated, noting details on the files and highlighting issues with the initial recording and other information per the client’s request. The amount of time they save is measured in days per project, and further value is added by being able to run more than one project at a time, limited only to the number of USB drives connected.
