What differentiates Field Control Analytics

Written by FCA | 2024

 

Construction superintendents and project executives encounter daily challenges such as thin profit margins, labor issues, regulatory complexities, and diverse municipal and state requirements. Despite the rise in technology adoption over the past decade to tackle these issues, selecting the appropriate workforce management and access control solution remains a daunting task. 

Here is an overview of how Field Control Analytics’ (FCA) access control solution stands out in the market. 

Onboarding your Workforce 

FCA's solution gets workers certified and onsite faster with a remote worker onboarding process. Once a worker is hired, they download the FCA app, access the project profile, and can immediately upload their required certifications.  Upon completion, superintendents, project executives, and safety directors can enroll workers in remote based training via the FCA app. Workers can easily watch videos, review safety manuals, and take quiz-based training.  Upon passing the required training, workers will be issued a digital or physical badge. ALL of this onboarding can happen for thousands of workers, prior to their arriving onsite. 

This comprehensive approach enables project managers and safety teams to quickly and confidently bring new workers onto the site, reducing downtime and improving project start times. A Turner Construction EHS manager said FCA’s solution reduced total worker onboarding time by 70%. 

For large construction projects where you need to quickly onboard thousands of workers, onboarding is a key step that is critical to getting the project started.
