Industry Playbook
Construction / Field Services
Workflow and reporting systems for teams managing distributed crews, approvals, timesheets, and job-cost visibility.
Typical systems
- Timesheet and payroll platforms
- Project management systems
- Mobile field capture apps
- Accounting and ERP tools
- Power Platform and reporting stacks
Example workflows
- Timesheet submission and supervisor approvals
- Exception handling for overtime and missing data
- Job progress and milestone status reporting
- Payroll export and reconciliation controls
Field operations succeed when frontline inputs move cleanly into decision systems.
Most breakdowns happen at handoff points: crew to supervisor, supervisor to payroll, project updates to leadership reporting.
GIDE delivers operator-first systems that reduce rework and increase control:
- structured mobile capture for field data
- approval routing with policy checks and audit trails
- payroll-ready exports and error visibility
- regional and executive reporting from shared definitions
This approach improves cycle time and reduces correction cost without overcomplicating field workflows.
