Challenges in Trade Projects
Why Trades Need Smarter Task Management
Handling trade projects without a dedicated system leads to missed deadlines, disorganized info, and costly delays — turning daily tasks into uphill battles.
- Job schedules overlap — causing confusion on site and inefficient resource use.
- Materials and orders get lost — leading to delays and budget overruns.
- Communication breakdowns — with subcontractors, suppliers, and clients causing rework.
- Safety checks overlooked — risking compliance and worker wellbeing.
- Invoices and permits slip through — delaying payments and approvals.
- Progress tracking is unclear — making it hard to know what’s done or pending.
- Tool and equipment allocation conflicts — slowing down work.
- Manual paperwork overload — wasting time and increasing errors.
