VHSoft introducing mobile project monitoring system

Construction industry and property maintenance industry have many aspects in common. For example, as the area of the site and property is usually huge, there may be large numbers of contractors, working parties and engineers working together in different places of the site and property at the same time. Such situation may require the administration team to spend huge amount of human resources and time in checking the attendance and monitoring the work progress. To resolve this problem and increase the operation efficiency of construction industry and property maintenance industry, VHSoft Technologies Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yau Lee Holdings Limited and a leader in construction information technology, introduces a mobile workforce monitoring system using the latest smart card and PDA technologies.

As CEO of VHSoft Technologies Co., Ltd., Mr. Conrad Wong indicated, "The workforce monitoring system currently employed by the industry mainly relay on manual methods, and thus is inefficient and lack of transparency. In order to check the workers' performance and work progress, the administration staff have to walk the site regularly. A well-designed management system should not only maintain a huge database but also accumulate data that are easy to retrieve and compatible with different interfaces and systems for data transfer. Therefore, a system that combines the highly flexible PDA with desktop workstation can record and analyze related information, thus improves the productivity and competitiveness of the company. Besides, the system is so easy to use that workers can use it instantly without further training."

Completeness in recording personal data

The highly traceable PDA can record the personal data and attendance of worker, for example, name, identity card number and working permit number for identity verification, which can control the entry flow of the site effectively. In addition, some important data, such as, skills and professional qualifications of the worker, the number of working days and arrival and departure time of worker, can also be recorded. Only download the data to desktop or other systems, company can allocate human resources according to the work progress after data analysis, and thus, avoid surplus of human resources.

Monitoring work progress

Through the use of PDA, management be acquainted with where the worker is working within the site, be familiar with the work progress and ensure the quality is up to standard. Together with digital camera, management can monitor the site simultaneously and mark reference on PDA for follow up actions which reduce time spent and make prompt correction if problems found, the production cost will then be greatly reduce as fewer mistake is anticipated under this situation.

Efficient resources allocation

As PDA can record and analyze the data of worker's performance and work progress, it helps human resources planning and delivery of building materials, so that an accurate estimation of budget and completion date can be achieved, resources allocation is more flexible which lead to a better cost control.

Developed by local and Nanjing talents

Construction project PDA system is developed by VHSoft Technologies Co., Ltd. and Nanjing University, together with the experiences of Yau Lee Holdings Limited in construction industry and construction management concept of HK Polytechnic University, it can completely satisfy the need of construction professional and lead the industry towards information technology.
