Construction Productivity: 5 Automations That Change Everything for Craftsmen and SMEs

Introduction

In the construction industry, every hour counts. The increase in construction productivity does not come from hard work, but from the intelligent automation of repetitive tasks. For craftsmen and SMEs, transitioning to a digital construction solution translates into measurable time and money savings. The secret? Five automations offered by a site profitability software for SMEs like Dropia.io, allowing an average time saving of 13 hours per month.

1. Automation No. 1: Mobile Time Tracking, No More Re-entry

The biggest source of time loss. Mobile construction time tracking allows the employee to log their hours with a click, directly on-site. The hour is recorded only once, eliminating administrative re-entry and human error. (Discover Dropia Time Tracking).

2. Automation No. 2: Hourly Report by Site

The tool aggregates time logs and automatically distributes them by site and task. This is the end of manual calculation for tracking hours on a site.

• Benefit: Administrative time savings and immediate input for profitability analysis.

  
  

3. Automation No. 3: Automatic Site Analysis

The tool continuously compares the initial budget of hours/supplies with the actual time logs.

• Benefit: Early detection of deviations. You know how to analyze the profitability of a site in real-time, thus turning data into decisions. (See Profitability Analysis).

  
  

4. Automation No. 4: Report and Accounting Export for Construction

The automatic generation of hour reports (PDF) and the construction accounting export to your payroll/accounting tools eliminate hours of preparation at the end of the month.

• Benefit: Simplification of administrative processes and reduction of accounting errors.

  
  

5. Automation No. 5: Integrated Document Management

Mobile access to plans and document sharing between collaborators via cloud storage for construction ensure that time on-site is dedicated to building, not searching for information. (Dropia Document Space).

The ROI of a Construction Time Tracking Application (Real Cases)

A gain of 13 hours per month means that you recover nearly two days of administrative work, which you can reinvest in prospecting or managing your teams. The cost of a site profitability software for SMEs is quickly absorbed by these recovered hours.

Conclusion

Construction productivity relies on the digitalization of construction and automation. Dropia.io offers you a set of powerful tools, with the possibility to start for free, to ensure you a quick and sustainable return on investment.
