Requests For Information (RFIs)
Simplify client and Engineer flows. RFIs allow for Clarifications, Change Requests, Issues
and Substitutions to be discussed methodically, grouped by topic and signed off.
Suppose Topic1, Topic2 and Topic3 are started by your team or a 3rd party.
Regardless of when responses are received, each is grouped into
the correct topic, with the full thread displaying real-time for both recipient and sender.
E-mail chains, by comparison, are inefficient as there is no grouping by topic, no
method of marking status as review, discussion or sign-off and no way to update all
internal and external project members.
Secure File Sharing / Document Management
As you turn Client Specifications into Design Concepts, or Feasibility Studies, third party file sharing with versioning, allows you to upload as many file versions as required, then assign only the chosen version to Clients, Engineers, or Sub-Contractors. Third parties can also share files.
Create unlimited folders and filter files by Project Name and Directory to make finding data fast and simple. All files are encrypted and appear instantly in each recipient's dashboard. Add Clients, Sub-Contractors and Stakeholders to Projects. Assign selected files or folders. Errors can quickly be undone by removing file assign.
By comparison, e-mail is plain text and cannot handle large file sizes. If the wrong version or file is e-mailed, there is no way to undo this action.

Project Management
With our solution, recording keeping, project details, dependencies, timelines, budget and cost, are handled through Gantt Charts with costing incorporated (material costs and labour, adjusted for vacations/leaves). Task reviews monitor progress, request revisions or feedback and generate real-time reports.
Excel, has multiple limitations for Project Management. It provides neither alerts, nor automated team and third party updates and is subject to "fat-finger" errors.
Project Ideas: Brainstorming
Project Management is necessarily well-structured. The downside is it leaves little room for innovation. To encourage brainstorming and free-flowing discussions between any team members or third-parties, we created "Project Ideas". Anyone can start a topic, add Hashtags and select whether to add to the Knowledge Bank.
Users have the option to display their name or post anonymously - the latter would allow disgruntled workers to complain without fear of recrimination. To prevent abuse, we do store "user id" so in extreme cases the user could be traced.
Users can post profiles, like and upvote topics to encourage participation. Hashtags facilitate search and ideas can help grow the knowledge bank.
