Marron Civil Engineering
Weekly labour meetings more efficient with accurate, real-time labour reports
About Marron Civil Engineering
The Challenge
As Marrons CE has grown over the years, it has become harder and harder to check exactly who is on-site every day and compare this to their time-sheets. Elaine Marron, Accounts Manager, said “I would have to ring the foreman each day to determine who was there on site but this was both time consuming and not fully reliable”. They also had the problem of not understanding the true costs of their labour in real-time. John Marron, Managing Director, said he tried to combat this by introducing a fingerprint solution to his sites but this ended up being difficult to use for the men and therefore didn’t provide the answer they needed.
The Results
1 | Gradual deployment very successful
Chime was deployed to one site initially. After quick success here, Chime was then easily rolled out to all their sites across the UK.
2 | Less chasing foreman
Elaine Marron, Accounts Manager, has found huge time savings in not having to chase foreman ‘I was permanently chasing people’ saving her at least half a day each week to be getting on with other things.
3 | Power of Data
The power the data is bringing to Marron’s weekly labour meetings - as John notes ‘ The meetings are now more efficient - with the data there at our fingertips - so we really understand labour costs and better plan for future projects’.
4 | Support & Training
Chime provided Marron CE with support and training to enable all the teams to feel confident using the app everyday. Now 200+ operatives are using it with ease.
5 | Reports at click of button
Having reports and data at the click of a button has improved weekly meetings and enables directors to have more control over labour costs.
