Last Minute Absences snowballing into a bigger problem?
RIVET can help you get the most out of your workforce, schedule and budget while paying for itself in a few months with a minimum 2x return in labor savings so you can grow your business.
“Ask guys what they are doing in the field, they have no idea. We don’t have a sophisticated workflow and no communication to get them where they are going. Scheduling tasks to the amount of time they should take and communicating them to the field is the missing piece.”

The Solution
Use RIVET’s forecast, scheduling and dispatch features to improve labor utilization. Send critical work instructions to crews with group messaging. Add work instructions to automated dispatch templates for clear reporting to the field. See who’s been flagged for transfer so they can be moved to a more productive assignment.
The Savings with RIVET
A 100-person workforce that is 20% unproductive is a loss in labor costs of $56,000 per week. RIVET can save you a minimum 1 hour per week for your unproductive workers. That’s $72,800 in savings per year.

Job Site Credentials
“It can take an entire business day to find the right worker with the right certification, because internal employee data is disconnected or missing. We manage badging for multiple projects, so we have to collect a photograph and submit badge information ahead of time. Background checks and drug tests have to be performed and recorded.”

The Solution
With RIVET, you can add certification, safety, training and other documents for many employees at one time with bulk uploading. Quickly view your entire workforce filtered for specific qualifications.
The Savings
If you have 20 jobs this year and 100 workers, and you need to assign and manage worker qualifications for each job, RIVET’s certification features can save you 250 hours (or $12,500) this year. And that’s just one feature.

Absences and No Shows
“We’re getting our butts kicked on excessive absences, up to 50% of our workforce this summer. One Superintendent was so frustrated that he quit. We’re burning money and delaying our schedules trying to keep up.”

Overtime, over- and under-staffing
“Production goes down when we work overtime for extended periods of time. We burn our guys out, we have safety issues. With understaffing, we’re running short on every job we have. Meanwhile, foreman are known for holding onto workers even when they don’t need them to make sure the work gets done

The Solution
Use RIVET to forecast labor and monitor hours and costs against timeline in real time so you stay on budget. Connect your accounting program with RIVET to get Work in Progress reports for job progress updates, labor dollars spent vs budget, labor hours spent vs budget, and blended labor rate per job site.
The Savings
If you’re paying 5 hours of overtime at a rate of $75/hr for 3 workers per week, that’s a $1,125 overage. RIVET can help you reduce your overtime by 25%. That’s an annual savings of $14,063.

Labor Spreadsheets
“We’re using a spreadsheet for scheduling, another for forecasting, another for certifications, and another for equipment. Our 5-year plan is to get these integrated and consolidated so our workflows are centralized. I know there are easier ways to get this done.”

The Solution
Replace updating error-prone spreadsheets with real-time labor utilization and consolidated data. Batch crew schedules in bulk on a gantt, carry a digital roster in your pocket with the ability to quickly view worker baseball cards and labor requests, then transfer workers where they are needed on demand.
The Savings with RIVET
If your jobs are ending or delayed, and you haven’t transferred new assignments while you sort out your spreadsheet, your workers are sitting and you’re leaking labor costs at the job site. If you’re paying 2 workers to sit for while you catch up on swapping and announcing changes, that’s $1,120 per day of leaking costs. If RIVET is able to save you 2 days per month of sitting assignments, that’s $26,880 per year in savings.
