Operate workforce management modules

Operate Workforce brings every part of workforce operations into one connected system. Each module reflects how your teams already work — just simpler, smarter, and faster.

Plan and allocate efficiently

Plan and allocate resources across every project with precision. Track labor, materials, and equipment in real time, assign personnel based on skills and certifications, and prevent overbooking before it affects productivity.

Integrated dashboards help managers optimize utilization, anticipate needs, and keep every project staffed effectively.

Track hours accurately

Record labor hours seamlessly through GPS, biometric, or kiosk check-ins. Attendance is automatically aligned with tasks, cost codes, and budgets — ensuring accuracy, compliance, and accountability.

Automated approvals and payroll integration eliminate errors and give you real-time visibility into who’s on-site, when, and for how long.

Train, certify, and upskill

Deliver onboarding, training, and certifications in one integrated learning platform. Track completion progress, quiz results, and compliance requirements while Operate sends automatic reminders for renewals or expiring credentials. Keep your workforce skilled, safety-conscious, and ready to meet project demands at every stage.

Plan and optimize labor

Predict workforce needs based on project schedules, demand peaks, and historical data. Forecasting tools help allocate staff efficiently, balance workloads, and prevent idle time across multiple projects.

Plan proactively and ensure the right people are always in the right place.
