Updated SiteDocuments Report

We are really excited to announce that we have introduced highly requested changes to our SiteDocuments report, which has now been updated to include a link to the signed version of documents which have been submitted as part of Gather Shift Records! 

Including the link to corresponding signed documents enables smooth reporting between site, office and project management teams. These easy to understand reports are really handy in helping to locate signed documents in seconds without the manual effort of opening individual documents yourself.

✅ Removes the manual search for signed document

✅ Easy navigation in SiteDocuments screen

✅ Streamlined auditing process 

Enhanced Daily Summary Email 

Thanks to your feedback, the daily email notifications are now refined to conveniently provide a direct link to the relevant Shift Reports for each project which you are assigned to which makes accessing your Shift Reports even more simple.

By eliminating the need for manual searching of Shift Reports, you can save valuable time on your project which equates to large cost efficiencies! 

✅ Quick and easy access to Shift Reports

✅ Improved communication

✅ Easily identify issues

🥁Coming up… 

Calendar View

We are almost ready to release one of our most requested features, our brand-new calendar view! This feature will allow you to really easily organise and streamline your shifts by filtering them by day, week, or month.

This feature allows you to effortlessly view and manage past, present, and future shifts, enhancing your shift management capabilities. Additionally, each shift is colour-tagged based on its status, ensuring that your records are always up to date and you never miss a submission.

✅ Improved visual clarity and accuracy

✅ Streamlined shift management

✅ Efficient shift organisation

Enhanced Labour Control

We understand that bigger projects where you’re managing hundreds of different people, labour suppliers and roles, shouldnt mean a bigger admin hassle. 

Therefore, we are changing how managing labour in Gather works this quarter, now allowing users to create an enhanced labour profile for each individual including key attributes, rates, roles and determining which projects they can work on.

✅ Manage labour teams centrally at scale

✅ Reduced input for site teams

✅ Real-time labour costing

Labour Cost Report

In light of our newly enhanced labour control, which encompasses the incorporation of new labour rates, we are actively in the process of designing a corresponding report to integrate with these changes.

By detailing the diverse rates assigned to individual team members, this report will serve as a pivotal tool for streamlining labour cost administration and empowering well-informed decision-making processes.

✅ Improved compliance and reporting due to more structured data

✅ Detailed cost analysis

✅ Automated allocation of cost to each activity
