Taking the guesswork out of staffing
The more we use this product the more we realize how beneficial it is. It makes me wonder how we were ever able to forecast staffing needs before LaborChart.
PROSIntegrations with existing operating and HR software were key to our decision to go with LaborChart. This eliminates duplicate data entry and updates.
CONSSome of the visibility settings could be improved. For instance - the ability to hide pending projects from users with visibility to active projects would be very beneficial in our industry.
Reason for choosing LaborChart
Ease of use and the ability for users to submit requests.

Indispensable
LaborChart has been a gamechanger for us, and I believe we have an advantage over our competitors who do not use it. It is easy and visually pleasing (dare I say "fun" to move resources around an electronic board). It actually encourages us to be smarter, plan ahead, and review how we can be better. We communicate faster, and more accurately with our employees. We manage our labor resources more efficiently on day to day basis. Then LaborChart facilitates us to plan ahead better so we finish projects under budget.
PROSLaborChart takes how we used to manually allocate labor resources and makes it EASIER, FASTER, & MORE ACCURATE. I have yet to find another product that comes close to solving labor resource allocation like LaborChart. It is an unusually intuitive solution even for those not technically savvy. LaborChart absolutely understands and reacts to the way contractors think... and then they develop unique helpful solutions.
CONSNo real "cons", seriously. We love the product because it just makes us a better company. There is not a single software solution we have felt this same way. They are constantly improving their product by listening to customers and thinking ahead. They truly "get it". We anxiously look forward to LaborChart's continued buildout of their integration and cost forecasting abilities.
Reason for choosing LaborChart
I looked (years ago) and there was NO competitor... zero. If there is one now I am unaware, yet we are so satisfied with LaborChart, we honestly have no desire to waste our time looking.

All Information at our Fingertips
We saved a minimum of four hours a day when we started using LaborChart. Our old system was cumbersome and very time consuming with many errors and with a fraction of the information.
PROSAt a glance, The Project Managers are able to see each electrician on their projects along with their level of experience and certifications. The Superintendent has all information for each employee on his mobile phone, Phone Numbers, Addresses, Wages. He also has the addresses of each project, daily burn, hourly labor rates. The Operations Manager has access to all safety records and long term labor projects. The Administrative Assistant will message the entire workforce with company updates in just a few clicks. We sale material and labor at our company. Laborchart helps us provide the right electrician with the right skillset at the right time on the job.
CONSI wish I could list a "con" about Labortchart. But if I do they will fix it before the review is made public. If I see a possible improvement we notify the LaborChart team and they improve the experience in a timely manor.
Reason for choosing LaborChart
We met [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] at a Trade Show in October 2015. He sold his product with his very humble and confident demonstration of the original V1 platform. Over the years he has instilled the same values with his amazing staff. They are easy to speak with and extremely helpful.

Easy to use for all users
I've been very happy with LaborChart. The software is very easy to use, but I appreciate that the support and help that they provide are easy to access. They are experts in what they do.
PROSThe software can be easily used by most users. The user interface is intuitive and provides clear feedback. We are able to quickly send crew assignments to our staff members at the end of the day. You can assign photos to your staff members as well as many other characteristics. There's a good amount of functionality if you'd like to just jump into the software with only an hours worth of training and then enough features that you can grow into the software.
CONSAny changes that I've requested in the past have been made by the developers. I've been happy to see how this software is growing over time to increase functionality without increasing in cost.

Labor Chart review
The support that the team gives us from Labor Chart is phenomenal, any time we do training I learn more and more and if I need more they have set up personal trainings with me , [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] have been an excellent resource for me to call on , thanks Labor Chart for supporting me this well!
PROSThere are many things I like about labor Chart and it will be hard to pick one for me and the way I am using Labor Chart. I typically use Labor Chart every day at the end of the day when I am moving people from job to job. The waffle board seems to be set up for me to easily move from assignments to people and to the projects tab. The info on the people tab stores essential information that I am always using or someone in the company is calling for info on a particular individual. They also have the Capability of linking this information to a QR Code that i hope to be using soon. The totals Page is very useful to se how the company is progressing but relies on the user to assign every person to a job , so the better the input the better the results . Al in on Labor Chart I feel it is a great tool for any company moving people around and for storing information vital to your operation.
CONSI am not sure I can say there is something I like Least at this point about Labor Chart. It is more about not understanding or not being trained in this feature or design than not having or disliking the system

Labor Chart review
The biggest problem that has been solved in our company is the ability for everyone on our team to be able to see who is working where at all times. Labor Chart also integrates with Exaktime which we use for our installers to clock in and out every day. This was a simple integration that Labor Chart conducted for us.
PROSWe use Labor Chart every day in our commercial flooring company. We came from using a whiteboard to Labor Chart and it made a 100% difference in how we operate. I love having the ability to look at our schedule while on the road which is something we could never do with a whiteboard. Labor Chart is also very affordable and easy to use. I highly recommend this app.
CONSI can honestly say there is nothing that I do not like about Labor Chart. I think Labor Chart has checked all the boxes for my company.
Reason for choosing LaborChart
Labor Chart has the ability for our project managers to send requests for labor. Once the request is put in our labor manager either approves the request or not and this is all done in real-time. Labor Chart simply is an actual labor scheduling app. The other two that we tried are time collection apps that tried to add a scheduling feature to them. The decision was easy.

Resource Management
Our people are our greatest resource and LaborChart helps us communicate with and manage those resources.
PROSLaborChart is flexible so that I can filter in so many ways that I can remove clutter and share specific information with specific stakeholders in our company. I can look at specific teams, job types, date ranges, etc. that apply to the different conversations I have with different management teams. High level or drilled in to a limited view, LaborChart gives me the data I need.
CONSSome of the features are set up to navigate with a mouse. I use a trackball and don't have the same buttons as a mouse, so I have to find a way to work around that.
Reason for choosing LaborChart
The other softwares options I looked at was more about plugging in a schedule - Tom, Mon, 8-5. We needed to make sure our projects were covered and our resources were where we needed them to be. We needed to put a person on a job, not plug in the same schedule for 20 days in a row. LaborChart was the only option that made sense.

Collaboration Across the Organization
LaborChart has been very responsive to any questions or problems we encounter. They have been a wonderful resource in guiding us on how to set-up various items in LaborChart for what makes sense within our organization.
PROSLaborChart is very intuitive software that our users easily adapted to! We were experiencing siloed spreadsheets throughout our various geo-markets and now have greater visibility into the projects and people working on them across the entire organization.
CONSIt’s not really a con, but since LaborChart is a newer software, there are some features still being built to accommodate their customers. LaborChart is very receptive to feedback on future developments we would like to see within the tool. We would love to be able to see better aggregate tracking of projects, more extensive reporting, and some what-if scenario planning features added to the system.
Reason for choosing LaborChart
We choose LaborChart because of the ease of use, service and cost. LaborChart has been very personable and easy to work with. You wouldn’t get this same experience from a large software provider where you are just a number.

LaborChart - Get rid of spreadsheets
We have 9 Divisions across the US and each division scheduled and managed manpower differently. We used several different types of excel spreadsheets, Pads of paper, and some even did it in their head. Trying to get a snap shot of projects going on across the 9 divisions as well as manpower that was available to help other divisions was next to impossible. LaborChart was able to have each division be responsible for their own manpower and projects, but at the same time have a global view of all projects and employees working at any given time. We are also able to see and track safety training and other types of trainings for each individual employee to be sure all their certifications are up to date. One added feature during the pandemic was that we were able to use LaborChart to easily identify any contact tracing required.
CONSThe report feature of LaborChart is still a work in progress but they seem to add new feature to the entire software each month.

Whiteboards No More
I cannot say enough great things about the LaborChart staff, I am so thankful that we made the switch from Whiteboards and went with LaborChart. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his staff made the transition very easy and continue to support us each and every day no matter what the needs is.
PROSWe tried many different options to make our day to day manpower moves digital and just could never find the right fit by something we were able to in house and we had [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his staff come in and do a presentation and we wanted to jump on board with LaborChart as quickly as possible.
CONSI have yet to find a downfall to having this software anything we think that we need [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his staff are already 3 steps ahead of us. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] coming from the construction industry knows what the pitfalls can be and tries to combat those as quickly as possible.

Labor Chart Changes Westphal and Company
Our experience has been almost unbelievable. We have had great luck with LaborChart helping us with all of our ideas and making them work to the best of the platform's ability. It is great working with someone we feel is a partner in making both of our businesses better.
PROSLaborChart has changed the way we manage labor at Westphal and Company. It allows all project managers and field managers to view labor schedules and adjust as needed in real time. It also gives us instant information on how their labor changes impact our labor projections. Using integration for project information we are able to do monthly reviews that compare labor hours to projections and keep our company running as smooth and efficient as possible.
CONSInline editing changed the only big con that I could think of. Nice work!!!

LaborChart for construction
We have realized better utilization of our crews. Better planning for jobs and overall better communication as to where our people and jobs are. Having multiple sites and divisions we can utilize manpower across the country and be more profitable.
PROSBeing able to plan weeks and months ahead takes the stress out of that part of the job. Being able to see all our projects at once from the Gannt pages helps to visualize the timelines for each job. The alerts aspect of it cuts down on supervisors time spent making phone calls for daily scheduling and holds crews accountable when a reply has not been recieved.
CONSSome minor issues pop up from time to time that are normally resolved or can be worked around with help from the support team.
Reason for choosing LaborChart
It fit all of our operational needs.

Great asset to the labor team
Love the product, and has saved us a lot of money and extra work to accomplish what we used to in the past. A must need to manage your labor.
PROSLaborChart moved us away from managing labor on a white board to a cloud based software. It makes it live were you are always up to date with were your manpower is. It also allows us to track the certifications and licenses for our field team in one place, and access with a few clicks.
CONSThe only CON is that there is so much that can be done with this software that we haven't been able to utilize it all yet.
