Quick answers on planning, tracking and forecasting manpower and equipment.
Wrench SmartProject connects resources directly to work packages and activities, as well as construction progress and milestones, productivity and timesheets, and cost and cashflow forecasts. Manpower is allocated to specific activities and locations, so you know not just who is on site but what they are delivering.
Yes. Manpower can be planned by trade, skill, contractor or work package, then allocated to specific activities and locations. The platform compares planned vs deployed vs required manpower so gaps are easy to see.
Yes. Daily resource tracking includes digital timesheets on web and mobile, alongside daily manpower and equipment reporting. Together they give contractor-wise and trade-wise visibility of the resources on the job.
Productivity is measured against planned norms. Wrench SmartProject uses that comparison to identify under-performing work fronts early and links productivity trends to schedule and cost, supporting better cost and schedule predictability.
Yes. The platform tracks the availability and deployment of equipment to help prevent double allocation and idle assets. Utilization trends are monitored over time, improving manpower and equipment utilization across the project.
Yes. Resource dashboards forecast future resource needs based on schedule and progress and give early warning on shortages or overloads. The dashboards update in real time and can be viewed by project, contractor or discipline.
Spreadsheets show what was planned. Wrench-SmartProject shows what is actually happening — in real time.
