IVO Systems introduces new timecard solution for heavy civil construction companies

IVO Systems has launched TimeVO, a new timecard solution specifically for heavy civil construction companies. Built to handle their unique operational needs, this module helps further close the information gap between the field, office, and shop by adding time tracking to the existing IVO Systems suite of equipment and employee management capabilities.

"When we started IVO Systems five years ago, we were focused on solving unique problems with no existing solutions," says Eric Christensen, IVO Systems' CEO. "Therefore, we had no intention of building timecards. However, we found customers were unhappy with even the market-leading timecard solutions. With our existing modules, you can now auto-populate a timecard based on information already managed in IVO Systems. This enables a simple time entry workflow for field employees and supervisors, making it easy to collect accurate data for accounting." 

Auto-populated field employee timecards

TimeVO seamlessly integrates with other IVO Systems modules, reducing manual entry and improving accuracy by populating all projects, employees, and equipment to select from.

"With auto-populated data, the ability to link multiple pieces of equipment to an employee, a system to manage bid items with multiple cost codes, and other heavy civil-specific features, we're excited to become a leading solution in the construction operations software space," says Christenson. "Whether you're transitioning from paper timecards or another solution, we're confident we'll be able to help significantly streamline your construction operations with TimeVO and our other nine modules."

Easy field timecard entry

TimeVO makes logging hours in the field simple and intuitive. With pre-filled details ready to go, employees can focus on their work instead of tedious data entry. Additionally, users can save time by copying historical entries from previous timecards.

Real-time cost analysis

The new timecard solution lets companies gain instant insights into labour costs as they occur. By auto-populating timecard data and linking it to project budgets, companies can make proactive adjustments to stay on track. This transparency empowers better decision-making and ensures cost efficiency throughout projects.

Import bid items and cost codes

For companies that do public work, as many heavy civil contractors do, the management of bid items (or phase codes) and cost codes is important. IVO Systems designed TimeVO to handle this unique heavy civil-specific need, allowing the import of bid items and/or cost codes to streamline the job set-up process.

This integration is designed to reduce manual input, minimize errors, and accelerate project initiation, enabling teams to focus on delivering quality work efficiently. IVO Systems is also set up to handle basic cost codes only. Therefore, it's possible to set up TimeVO for specific company, division, or job needs.
