Resource Planning & Dispatching Module
The Right Resources. The Right Place. The Right Time.
 |
BUILD2WIN Logistics allows you to plan short and long-term job logistics and effectively dispatch employees, equipment and other resources to jobs. The only solution on the market that is truly integrated with a field tracking system, the Logistics module seamlessly feeds dispatching schedules to your field logs in BUILD2WIN Field.
A single SQL Server database—the same database that serves all BUILD2WIN modules—provides real-time access to the location and availability of resources—allowing project managers, superintendents, dispatchers and foremen to review the look-ahead schedule and ensure that the necessary resources are at hand as work becomes due.
BUILD2WIN Logistics allows you to plan resource requirements ahead of time, by finding out where an employee, a piece of equipment or subcontractor will be today, tomorrow, or weeks in advance. You can also assign equipment to be moved to a job, or assign drivers and lowboys to schedule moves, for any given date and time.
BUILD2WIN Logistics can be purchased as a stand-alone system, or in combination with BUILD2WIN Field and/or BUILD2WIN Maintenance as an integrated suite.

Technology
Built on the Award-Winning
Microsoft .NET and SQL Server Platform.
Microsoft .NET and SQL Server Platform.
The BUILD2WIN Integrated Construction Management Suite is built on one of the most modern and robust technology platforms in the world—Microsoft .NET, and the enterprise class database engine, Microsoft SQL Server. That means it’s reliable, secure, and compatible with the latest operating systems, both now and in the future.
Built For Streamlined Installation and Maintenance.
BUILD2WIN is installed on your company server using a simple wizard. You have the option to use any of the three modules independently of each other, or in any combination. And, unlike competing systems, there is no software to install and maintain on field laptops. This saves many hours of work for the IT department, and eliminates the risk that one laptop is out of date, preventing synchronization of data.
Your Data Will Be Safe.
Because all data is contained in the Microsoft SQL Server database on the company server—as opposed to laptops in the field—only one backup is required to secure all job data. This eliminates the risk of laptops with critical job performance information on them being lost or stolen.
No Need to Remember Your Login Credentials.
BUILD2WIN integrates directly with the Windows security system to authenticate users, without requiring users to remember yet another password. When users open the browser and navigate to the BUILD2WIN home page, the user information they provided when they logged on to Windows is automatically called up and they are authenticated.
