How Construction Teams Lose Time — and How to Win It Back

As external pressures intensify, construction leaders are looking for practical ways to make an impact, however and wherever they can. But a new survey reveals that most companies are still losing time and money searching for assets, repurchasing materials, working around theft and loss, and leaving critical equipment idle.

This webinar shares new insights into how procurement, warehouse, and field teams actually spend their time — and why they still lack real-time visibility despite using asset tags, spreadsheets, and cloud tools. You’ll learn how fragmented systems quietly steal time and margin, and will discover practical ways to reclaim hours each week by connecting procurement, tracking, and maintenance workflows.

  • "You’re really paying twice when you repurchase. Once when you buy the duplicates and again when you’ve purchased equipment that sits idle, not generating revenue somewhere else."
  • "We just had a large mechanical contractor who is experiencing tool loss of between $300,000 and $400,000 per project... after implementing a unified tool tracking system, that loss almost dropped to zero."
  • "When tool tracking and payroll and project management systems don’t talk to each other, you force people to become the 'human middleware.' And that unproductive busy work... steals their focus."
