Compare Broadside vs. RIVET

Broadside is innovative crew scheduling software specifically designed for construction subcontractors, enabling them to manage crews across various projects efficiently. It features a dynamic live look-ahead board for both jobs and crew leaders, allowing schedules to be projected from three weeks up to a full year in advance. Users have the capability to assign crew leaders on a daily basis, adjust job timelines in response to scheduling shifts, and identify issues such as double bookings, unstaffed days, idle crews, and instances when work exceeds the available workforce capacity. Additionally, workforce views present a comparison of weekly labor demands by role against the existing staff, aiding subcontractors in pinpointing potential shortages or overbookings before the work commences. The platform allows multiple users to edit the same scheduling plan simultaneously, while also permitting viewers to access the information without the need for a paid account. Broadside supports a wide range of trades including grading, paving, underground utilities, excavation, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, drywall, and concrete. With its emphasis on advance crew planning, it stands apart from traditional methods that focus on daily dispatch, truck routing, ticketing, or timecard management, thus streamlining the overall scheduling process for construction projects. This comprehensive approach ultimately enhances productivity and coordination among subcontractors in the construction industry.
