PM Dashboard & Forecasting

Know your margin before the job is over.

Field PM turns daily field data into a live project dashboard — productivity by cost code, projected cost at completion, schedule variance, and S-curve forecasting — so PMs catch a losing cost code in week 3, not at closeout.

Productivity (PI) by cost code from real manhours
Projected margin and cost-at-completion forecasting
S-curve planned-vs-actual across the project
Schedule variance and earned-value style tracking
Roll-up across all projects in your scope
No data entry — it reads the daily reports
01

Field data in, insight out

Manhours and quantities from the daily report flow straight into job costing. There is no separate data-entry step — the dashboard reflects what the field reported this morning, so the numbers PMs manage by are never a week stale.

02

Productivity by cost code

Every cost code shows a productivity index — actual units per hour against budget. A code drifting under 1.0 surfaces immediately, with the underlying daily entries one click away, so you intervene while there's still schedule left to recover.

03

Forecast cost at completion

Field PM projects final cost per cost code from current burn and remaining budget, and rolls it into a projected project margin. The S-curve overlays planned against actual spend so a schedule slip is visible as a widening gap, not a surprise at the end.

04

One lens for the whole portfolio

Executives see every project in their scope on one screen; a branch manager sees only their location. The same scope-aware dashboard answers "how is this job doing" and "how is the division doing" without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.

FAQ — PM Dashboard & Forecasting

Where do the dashboard numbers come from?+

From the field. Manhours and quantities entered on daily reports allocate to cost codes and feed productivity, forecasting, and margin automatically — no parallel spreadsheet, no re-keying.

What is the productivity index (PI)?+

PI compares actual output per labor hour to your budgeted rate for each cost code. Above 1.0 means you're beating the estimate; below means you're burning hours faster than planned. It's the earliest signal that a cost code is going sideways.

Can executives see across all projects at once?+

Yes. The executive dashboard rolls up construction, sales, service, and safety across every project in your scope, and respects the org hierarchy so a division GM sees only their division.

Does it forecast final cost?+

It projects cost at completion per cost code from current burn and remaining budget, and an S-curve shows planned-vs-actual spend over time so schedule and cost slips are visible early.
