A shift in Gather

What goes into your site diary.

The team completes 75 m of a planned 100 m. Here’s how the diary connects that shortfall to an obstruction and the resources on site.

Using Gather Record

Before your first shift.

Setup, daily use and sharing records.

Can we record a shift without a signal?

Yes. Gather supports offline shift recording, with data saved on the device and synced when a connection returns.

How much does the site team need to type?

Pre-filled shift information reduces repeat entry, and voice-to-text lets teams dictate notes. They check the details, record progress and changes, and add photos.

Can we use our own activities, codes and fields?

Yes. Configure fields and dropdowns around your activities, locations and reporting needs. Bring your current diary or allocation sheet to the demo so we can show how it would work in Gather.

Does it record labour and plant hours as well as progress?

Yes. Teams record quantities against activities and locations, then allocate labour and plant hours to the work. Events and photos provide the context behind differences between planned and actual delivery.

Can the office export and share the records?

Yes. Gather supports branded shift PDFs and summary reports, with PDF and CSV exports. The same site data feeds Gather Report, so the office can review progress and resource use.

What help do we get with rollout?

We support project setup, team training and ongoing use. On-site training is available, alongside support by phone, email and video. We’ll agree the training and support needed for your rollout.

Where can our IT team check security?

Gather supports Microsoft single sign-on and two-factor authentication. Your IT team can review data handling, access controls and security documentation in our Trust Centre.
