Dexter + Chaney has introduced Spectrum Mobile, a new module for its Spectrum Construction Software that enables field supervisors to submit daily field reports to the main office quickly, easily and accurately. Spectrum Mobile eliminates the practice of filling out paper time cards in the field and re-entering that data into Spectrum’s payroll system. Instead, supervisors enter labor, equipment hours and production quantities directly into a mobile device or laptop, and the data flows to payroll for processing. That saves time, reduces errors and provides data to the main office in a timely manner. Field supervisors have the option to use a rugged handheld PDA or laptop computer to transmit time card, material, equipment and other daily field information to the office. Spectrum Mobile consists of a PC-server application and client software running on Microsoft Windows Mobile handheld remote devices, laptops or PC workstations. The system can be set up using a wireless network or WAN (Verizon, AT&T) for rapid data delivery or with batch communications.
