Working Remotely with Cube Software

by Hector Hernandez

A remote workforce doesn’t really work in the construction industry. You need staff on-site to actually get things built. But there are some aspects of the industry that can be done remotely, whether by choice or in emergency situations. While construction sites are exempt from many non-essential business shutdowns, keeping your staff safe and healthy is still a top priority. Having some employees shift to a remote model may help strike a balance that works for your business.

The Basics of Working Remotely

As with all remote staff situations, you want to maintain open lines of communication and try to create a sense of normalcy. Here are some general tools that will be helpful.

  • VoIP Phone System – this can help your calls flow seamless and keep everyone from missing a call
  • Company-approved Chat Platform – can ensure that questions still get asked, meetings still take place and facilitate everyday communication
  • A Good Organizational System – Something as simple as having a phone directory accessible on your server can be a huge asset when something isn’t quite working

In a perfect world, all of those systems would be in place before an issue arose. All staff would be trained and all systems would be installed on every device. Playing catch up now, before things get worse, maybe a good idea.

The Specifics of Working Remotely

Construction is tough to take remote, but Cube can help. Between its built-in remote-functionality and a robust mobile app, it can keep things from falling through the cracks, even in a chaotic time.

  • The Sales Module keeps the top of your contact of mind, allowing you to check in them, maybe even making follow-up calls using that VoIP line mentioned earlier.
  • While some level of project management must take place on the ground, anything that can be done digitally can be done with Cube from anywhere, most even from the mobile app.
  • Estimating, HR management, and Inventory Reports can all be created from anywhere and sent wherever they need to be.

If you’d like more information on how Cube can help your business continue to perform through these unprecedented times, contact us today. We can schedule a call to reach you, wherever you’re working today.
