PeerAssist is a longtime trusted partner to construction firms of all sizes across the nation. Our mobile app allows your field to work from their tablet or smartphone – on or offline - eliminating paper from their day-to-day processes.  Save time working electronically and spend more time focused on the build. The mobile app syncs to the web-based app (with connection) so that office users can see field activity in real time, plus the project team receives an email notification upon completion.   With PeerAssist FIELD users can fill out safety reports, pre-task planning and daily reports, take attendance, document RFIs – and much more. Choose from ready-made forms in our template library, or create your own giving, you endless possibilities. Your field will love the ability to add photos, capture time-stamped signatures and use date/time/currency selectors. Features like voice-to-text and selecting employees and materials from pre-loaded lists help eliminate redundant data entry. You can indicate required fields and project stakeholders to copy on individual reports, and request signatures from or copy the client.   PeerAssist PROJECT MANAGEMENT subscribers can Track T&M on the mobile app, which is directly tied to the office’s ability to price and send a Change Order Request to the customer. Employee names, trade rates and materials are set up for the company and/or project so that the office can see real-time costs as they accumulate and save time spent pricing extra work.   PeerAssist PROCUREMENT allows the field to request material, see orders pending, and receive material – all from the mobile app. Office users can issue POs from the field request or standalone, keeping both the field and office looped in throughout the ordering process. Built in material lists and pricing make POs faster and easier than ever.
