FAST Scheduling and PocketFAST

FAST scheduling gives you the ability to formulate a “best practices” approach to building production homes, as well as customizable timetables, based on customer choices, or regional or municipal requirements, and is needs-specific to individual house plan types. Your superintendents’ effectiveness is maximized with the built-in automation of hundreds of daily scheduling tasks.

The pre-designed templates within FAST Scheduling are structure-specific so you have separate single-story, two-storey, duplex and or multi-family townhouse or condo templates. Furthermore, you can build in schedule options, based on option specifications by the builder, or purchased by the homebuyer as an option, to alter any schedule timeline. Each builder establishes one or many standard schedules, which may be modified depending on structure and the options selected or provided by you. Custom change orders can alter budgets of time, or schedules and are also automated and easily managed with FAST’s Scheduling software solution.

PocketFAST allows you to manage diverse schedules on the job, thus reducing your cycle times and costs. With PocketFAST, and using a remote PDA device, job superintendents are able to update construction/schedule progress, effect schedule changes and vendor reassignments, plus manage Purchase Order payment approval, variance purchase orders and cancellations directly from the field. You can synchronize data to and from the back office at any time of the day, in one easy step. This saves administration costs by requiring significantly less back office data processing and gives your field staff more time to be in the houses and on the jobs.
