What are the specific management challenges for carpenters?

Team scheduling is complex: carpenters work on projects of varying durations, often outdoors, with weather uncertainties that necessitate frequent schedule reorganizations.
Ensuring accurate time tracking is challenging: workers rarely log their hours precisely, leading to payroll errors and a loss of visibility into project profitability.
Communication between the field and the office is fragmented: exchanges happen via SMS, phone calls, or paper, with a high risk of information loss and misinterpretation of instructions.
Document management is time-consuming: plans, progress reports, site photos, purchase orders... Documents are poorly circulated and are often nowhere to be found when needed.
Project-by-project profitability tracking is almost non-existent: without a dedicated tool, it's impossible to easily cross-reference hours worked with revenue generated for each project.

Track the hours worked by your carpenters

Time tracking is often the Achilles' heel of carpentry businesses. Alobees automates this process to save you time and improve the reliability of your payroll data:

Your carpenters track their hours directly from the mobile app, job by job.
The recorded hours are automatically centralized and available in real-time in your dashboard.
Timesheet validation is done in just a few clicks, with a clear and fast approval workflow.
The data can be exported to your payroll software, without manual re-entry and without errors.

This gives you a precise overview of the time spent on each project, allowing you to calculate the true profitability of your carpentry jobs and adjust your future quotes accordingly.

Optimize communication between your carpenters and the office

On carpentry projects, miscommunicated information can be costly: incorrect measurements, wrong materials, and poorly coordinated tasks. Alobees centralizes all communications to prevent these situations:

Instantly share plans, progress photos, and reports directly from the mobile app.
Each project has its own discussion thread, accessible to all relevant team members.
Your carpenters can report a problem in real-time (client modification, material defect, weather conditions) without having to go through the office.
You receive real-time notifications so you never miss important information from the field.

Smooth communication between the office and the carpenters reduces unnecessary back-and-forth and improves the quality of work on every project.

Les réponses à vos questions

Why do carpenters choose Alobees for site supervision?

Carpenters choose Alobees because the software is designed for the realities of the construction industry. The mobile app is easy to use on site, even if they're not tech-savvy. In one place, business owners schedule their teams, track worked hours, and keep an eye on the progress of each project. Alobees replaces Excel spreadsheets, SMS messages, and paper timesheets with a centralized solution, accessible from any device.

How can I know the status of each carpenter without traveling?

With the Alobees mobile app, each carpenter clocks in and out directly from their smartphone. You can view the real-time location and activity of each team member from your dashboard. They can also share progress photos and send instant reports. You can monitor all your carpentry projects without having to travel or spend hours on the phone.

How can my carpenters report a problem or an unforeseen event on a construction site?

Using the Alobees mobile app, your carpenters can instantly report any unforeseen issues: defective wood, client modifications, unfavorable weather conditions, or delivery delays. The report is transmitted in real-time to the office, with the option to attach a photo or comment. You are immediately notified and can make the necessary decisions without delay.

How do you prepare payroll without wasting a day every month?

Alobees automates the collection and consolidation of hours worked. Your carpenters track their hours job by job from their smartphone. This data is automatically centralized and directly exportable to your payroll software. No more manual re-entry and calculation errors: you prepare your team's payroll in minutes, every month.

How to manage the difference between hours spent in the workshop and those spent on lifting at the job site?

The carpentry trade is unique in that it's divided into two distinct phases: workshop work (cutting, traditional timber frame assembly, timber frame or truss preparation) and on-site work (erection and installation). Good carpentry software like Alobees allows you to create specific tasks for these two environments. This way, your team members can accurately clock their hours, indicating whether they are in the workshop or on the roof. For the business owner, this provides an extremely accurate overview of actual production costs compared to installation costs, which is essential for ensuring the profitability of future estimates.

Our teams work at height and use lifting equipment. Does the software help with safety and equipment?

Absolutely. Framing involves significant risks and complex logistics: working at height, handling heavy loads, and using cranes, trucks, or telehandlers. The advantage of framing software is its ability to centralize document and material management. From the office, you can share working drawings, structural calculations, and safety documents (PPSPS, CACES validity, qualifications) directly to your team leaders' smartphones. Furthermore, Alobees allows you to schedule not only your workers but also your shared equipment (lifting equipment, aerial work platforms) to prevent double bookings and site bottlenecks.
