Before using B2W Schedule we were using a combination of MS Project and MS Excel. The entire process was manual and very time consuming. We are a seasonal construction business and every day counts, so by having the flexibility of B2W Schedule to see day by day, or weeks at a time, all of our scheduled jobs- it has a huge impact in how much work we can get done during the sunny days we have. And if rains- the push/pull functionality has been a tremendous time saver!

Integration with Viewpoint Vista is the most valuable part of this platform. Taking the manual steps of creating a schedule in Excel or MS Project has been an enormous time saver. Also, integrations with Track have been very helpful to our road construction crews. They can see in real time what is happening with their scheduled jobs.

What do I like least...that it doesn't build the schedule for us automatically using AI? Just kidding- this is our second season using Schedule and it just keeps getting better. The B2W team listens to our concerns and requests and almost always has a solution in development.

The system has reduced the number of emergencies that result from poor planning.

The ability to associate Crews with Production Targets. The ability to create custom views within the system. The system is "live" at all times so that all changes are immediately displayed. The ability to track materials at locations/jobs.

The speed of the system is an issue when adding to the schedule as each action requires the system to refresh. The inability to "move" multiple crew assignments or production targets simultaneously. Should be able to "select" multiple and move all at once. Need to add the ability to use Schedule for aggregate, asphalt and concrete manufacturing facilities including mix designs and inventories.

It has helped up integrate our schedule to our crews and get away from excel and email then phone calls to everyone for work the next day.

It's great to be able to track employees, equipment, build out crews and assign work assignments and equipment moves.

It's a bit of work on the setup and must make sure things get moved in the system so it is accurate with where you're equipment may physically be. Also setup of our jobsites is difficult since our jobsite moves daily in road construction versus vertical building where the jobsite address is always the same.

Overall the transition was a great experience. We are much more efficient with our planning and forecasting, and enjoy the integration with B2W Estimate and Tracks.

The crew based scheduling is likely the most useful part of the program. We are easily able to build and change crews on the fly, on a daily basis. Exporting scheduling assignments directly to B2W Tracks is also handy as it makes the Foreman's job to fill out their paperless timesheet very easy.

The only two downsides to this program are that there isnt an easy way to distinguish between day and nights (different colours on the schedule would be key), and the reports are not very customizable. We run both day and night shifts daily, and they often roll the next days dayshift on the same report as tonight's night shift.

The one item that always hold true for me. B2W does not fix your problems, it is a tool to do so. The implementation and working with our division has brought a lot of broken work flows to the surface.

B2W has brought us into the 21st century. As we were using multiple forms of data capture in the field. It has allows us to be more transparent as an Equipment division. It has also allowed us to capture and track costs in a more efficient detailed manner.

We went through our implementation in the midst of a global pandemic. Which proved to be trying on our end. Although this allowed us to be more engaged as managers in the ownership of the product. The pandemic has caused us to slow the roll out of the product.

Ease of scheduling and moving resources around

Unable to text different messages, unable to skip weekends when putting a rain day in

Integration with Accounting software and employee notifications

Does not have a easy method to set up night shifts.

overall experience is good. seems like the right start towards our future.

organization is nice. easy to read when on the computer.

when the text go through to schedule users they seem more confusing then looking at on the computer.
