RefinemySite

Vorteile

It's easy to set up a project, add tasks, coordinate with subcontractors, and update. It updates in real time and is a tool I use on my weekly subcontractor and owner calls.

Nachteile

I don't like that it currently doesn't have task successor/predecessor features. I know this feature is in the works. When PDF'ing the schedule - I'd like to have font editing capabilities to make items easy to read.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu RefinemySite

Vorteile

Being able to have all of the contractors simultaneously collaborate with pull planning while working remotely is very useful.

Nachteile

Some features are confusing, such as when looking at a week when it is collapsed, users get confused that a task is using an entire week instead of just a particular day.

Vorteile

Ease of navigating, high desirable, user friendly

Nachteile

too many options, highly complicated framework

Vorteile

We are a small to midsize commercial general contractor. Over the past two years we’ve been searching for a digital scheduling solution that is simple and easy to use. Our half dozen superintendents consist of 30+ years experience down to less than five years experience. The simplicity of the software and interaction with the program makes the learning curve very short, which is something we were looking for. All of our superintendents carry the latest iPad in the field so it’s very important we have access to our project documentation and scheduling information at all times. RefinemySite has solved the scheduling issue for us. We are quickly integrating our trade partners into this program as well. During our daily huddle meetings each morning, our trade partners use RefinemySite to review work from yesterday, look over work to be completed today, and are able to look ahead at any possible constraints which might surface. One of the biggest advantages of the program is real time KPI. This information is invaluable for us as we make determinations regarding trades for future projects.

Nachteile

As with any new software or program that is introduced into the marketplace, there will always be little things that surface which need to be worked out. When downloading a long lead time schedule into PDF format, Refined my site does not currently offer a gantt chart option. At times this would be helpful when including a schedule with a bid package for a client. There are also a couple of places within the program where the Apple Pencil is not recognized and we’re not able to use that tool. I know that RefinemySite is working on solving this issue. While the program continues to Evolve, currently we don’t have an option for linking dependencies and predecessors. However I am told this should be available very soon.

Vorteile

This product is very easy to use. The customer support team is very involved and will help you with any questions or concerns. They are continuously listening to their customers and implementing new features. Design and layout is very user friendly.

Nachteile

Needs better export to PDF functionality and layout.

Vorteile

The application focuses on the work project teams do daily and weekly, namely supporting daily huddles and weekly commitment and make ready planning.

Nachteile

It is a vast improvement over manual Last Planner System methods such as using spreadsheets or wall-based planning, so it's hard to list cons. If there is one it is that the features they have upcoming are not already available.

Vorteile

RefinemySite is really simple to use and should be very easy for a Scheduler or Superintendent to get up to speed on.

Nachteile

RefinemySite still needs a logic-base Pull Planning feature set.

Vorteile

Easy to use and graphics that show exactly where you are and what would be the next step. Also, some good summary charts that help to review the whole process

Nachteile

Setting up the project is a little different from similar apps so you should learn it before you can start

Vorteile

Day cards work well for specific activities.

Nachteile

The day cards are too bulky and not enough room to fit more activities on screen.
It also would be helpful to have a legend or Key for colors and contractors.

Vorteile

The user-friendly interface that allows the trade partners and the contractor to visualize the upcoming work and constraints.

Nachteile

The day cards. I personally like big picture analysis

Vorteile

Es una plataforma que ayuda a implementar la metodología Last Planner System, de una manera muy sencilla e intuitiva. Muy fácil de aplicar, desde el primer día te dará resultados positivos.
Ayuda a implementar reuniones de seguimiento del proyecto con el equipo de manera digital.

Nachteile

Van a ir aumentando propiedades, por ejemplo, acaban de incorporar la posibilidad de incluir los hitos del proyecto.
Esperemos que pronto podamos tener recursos de Inteligencia Artificial y un panel de control ejecutivo para ampliar las mediciones del desarrollo del proyecto.

Vorteile

I really enjoyed the daily task view for subs, I think it makes the software more approachable from a sub or super perspective.

Nachteile

Not very similar to other project management software interfaces, might just need time using the software.
