Computers were the first revolutionary take in project management and now we’re turning to the daily indispensable tool – our mobile phones to ease the workload. Introducing Bina Schedulers Site Diary App, The Daily Logs, already in use by some of the top construction companies in Malaysia.
Bina Schedulers developed The Daily Logs to address the needs of site engineers, foremen and site managers working in construction organizations, contractors and installation teams both large and small.
The Daily Logs replaces the existing paper construction daily reports, site journal or daily logs, where field workers record daily events, resources and weather on their projects. With the Daily Logs app, we make the whole process quick and intuitive so you will complete your daily report easily and still have time left to focus on issues on the project site. Your digital records will be hosted in the cloud in a safe and secure data center, available only to your project team members.
How The Daily Logs App is an evolutionary step in the Malaysian construction industry:
-
Improving data captured from job sites
With The Daily Logs app, field workers can easily capture jobsite information directly from their mobile devices. They can take pictures of work progress and any issues that arise. The picture is saved with its GPS location and the date and time it was taken. These metadata and combined comments create a solid documentation to accompany any correspondence, request for information or change orders.
-
Improving access to project documentation
The Daily Logs app utilizes cloud-based storage to create an easily accessible and centralized storage for all recorded information. Sites with limited connectivity are not a problem as the app continues to perform seamlessly off-line. Data captured is saved on the device and synchronized to the cloud as soon as a connection becomes available. Improved digital project documentation will ensure data availability for project management.
-
Improving Project Team workflows
As the field teams capture their document issues and complete their daily reports, the Daily Logs will record the information to the cloud in real-time. The Project Manager will be alerted to approve these reports so that they can be finalized and eventually printed for submission.
-
Improving Project Visibility
With all the data captured in the cloud, project teams now have valuable business intelligence to plot into meaningful reports. The Daily Logs allows management to view all activity at the highest level. With this information and visibility, management can make data-driven decisions for overall project health and company profitability.
-
Improving Communication with Project Stakeholders
Many contractors require subcontractors to provide daily reports. The Daily Logs allows field workers to complete very detailed daily reports, including weather, pictures and other notes. The app automates this process to ensure that all the stakeholders are in the loop regarding project issues and progress.
-
Improving Sustainability
Every construction project uses a lot of paper. There are multiple bids, contracts, daily reports, RFIs, change orders, purchase orders, plans, plan revisions and much more. The Daily Logs app helps to transition to a paperless process, which will go great in improving sustainability.
