The pandemic context has further contributed to accelerating the digital transformation in the business environment. No industry has remained immune, and the construction sector is no exception to this rule.

Some time ago, I was doing a brief review of the main tasks and the role of the project manager in the construction area. Regardless of the type of construction project, whether we are talking about civil, commercial or industrial projects, the “reins” of the  project are in the hands of the project manager. He is the one who organizes, plans and coordinates the activities and resources on site, verifies and controls the construction works, ensures that he has at his disposal all the material, financial and human resources necessary for each stage of the project, ensures the training of subordinate staff. and ensure that technologies for the execution and operation and maintenance of equipment are complied with.

One of the goals we set ourselves a few years ago was to offer our customers a complete solution for construction companies. To automate timekeeping for employees working on site, we developed SocrateTimesheet, the mobile application that allows you to enter timekeeping directly from your mobile phone or tablet.
