COINS Construction Cloud Project and Operation Productivity apps enable your construction business to reduce costs and boost quality and help with crucial, time-sensitive decisions throughout the construction lifecycle. They comprise a wide range o/f solutions designed to digitise, streamline and connect site-based construction project management and operations processes to the back office. Currently included are Task Management, Time Collection, Issue Management, Checklist, Call-Offs and Expenses. Task Management – Track and manage the tasks generated by COINS applications and workflows. As a result, you can better monitor and reduce the time it takes to process tasks. Time Collection - Collect and process time entries for construction work. This will help reduce duplication and streamline and automate the time collection and payroll processes. Issue Management – Log and resolve site issues including punch list items, defects, etc. This both reduces the time spent and enhances the reliability of issue management on site. It also helps ensure that financial risks are reduced through a seamless connection to the back-office. Checklist – Set up and use site checklists for quality, safety and other requirements. Give your users the ability to enhance the quality, safety and productivity of projects through implementation of site checklists. Call-Offs – Issue and track call-off orders or blanket orders for goods that have multiple delivery dates during the construction process. This enhances site purchasing processes by enabling immediate access to the order log. Expenses – Record expense claims and submit expense reports while on site. This reduces the time it takes to collect, claim and accurately pay workforce expenses.

GemEx App: Spica Workplaces has many features that will make your day as frictionless as possible. Home Your homepage within the GemEx App, the Home module is where you can find what you have planned for today. Our smart recommendation tiles will help you navigate to the best features for you in just a single tap, while My Feeds brings all of your upcoming bookings and notifications into a single convenient place. Book The Book module shows you availability for all bookable resources in your workplace – say goodbye to wandering the halls looking for an open meeting room or struggling to find a hot desk to plant yourself for the day! Choose your resource (desk, meeting room, parking space or more), and we’ll show you what’s available for that time. We'll even recommend alternative times or resources if there is nothing available. And now, when you book a meeting room or breakout space, you can create an online meeting and invite your colleagues, whether they’re in the office or not, allowing you to choose a time based on their availability. Find Tired of getting lost in your workplace? Hunting through the entire office to find that meeting room you’ve never been to before? This problem is a thing of the past thanks to the Find module! Search for the resource you’re looking for, select it from the list or map, and GemEx provides directions from your current location. Choosing a resource on the Find map even shows you its availability, amenities, and environmental conditions based on IoT sensors installed in the office! Building Information & Services Looking for the nearest first aid station? Can’t remember how to connect a device to the WiFi network? Want to find out about the food services available in the building? Visiting a different office location and want details of how to get there? Want information about the local transport links? All of this information and more can be found in the various informational modules throughout the app (supported by our in-built content management system). Support Have you noticed a defect in your workplace? A leaking pipe, a bathroom that has run out of soap, a printer that’s on the fritz? Using the Support module you can raise a request with the local facilities team and check progress until it’s eventually resolved. You can even drop a pin on the map to locate the defect, in case there’s a leak in the middle of a floor. Feedback After using a hot desk or meeting room, all of us have wanted to leave some feedback whether it’s negative – a missing remote control, a broken power cable – or positive – a well laid-out AV panel, a better than expected computer. Using the Feedback module, you can submit this information and we’ll relay it to the proper department. FAQs Have a question? Need some information about how to use the application? Then head to the FAQ module – if your question isn’t answered by our pre-written responses, just use the “Ask a Question” button to submit a new question to your app admins and we’ll pass them enough information to get back to you. Events When your workplace is having a corporate event, whether it’s a Christmas party or just a social evening, it can be hard to keep track of the details. Luckily, GemEx’s Event module gathers all of that information in one place for easy review! Colleagues In any workplace using hot desks, collaborating with a colleague can be a major pain – whether that’s sitting together with your team or finding a team mate to have a quick face-to-face. Enter the Colleague module, allowing you to ask a colleague where they are and receive easy to follow directions to lead you to them. Busyness Looking for a quiet desk? Or inviting team mates to book their own desks near you and want to make sure there’s room for everyone? Tap into the Busyness module to see how many unbooked desks are available on each floor, either right now or based on future bookings.
