ROVUK

ROVUK stands out as a project management software by consolidating every detail of the job site into one convenient app exclusively designed for subcontractors. The all-in-one platform saves time and resources with a coordinated approach to construction management.

Typically, subcontractors need to invest in multiple applications, each dealing with only one aspect of project management. Monthly subscriptions are required to perform essential functions like timekeeping, procurement and approvals, materials management, and vendor communication. The different applications are not usually able to communicate with each other, which can lead to inefficiencies and increase the likelihood of administrative errors.

A customer-centric organization, ROVUK has consistently prioritized client input in the development of its product. The result is a robust, full-featured software that relieves administrative burden, maximizing profit.

Roque Rivera, Managing Partner of ROVUK, says, “We are highly customer-driven. I give my customers access to me. I call them myself to see how we can improve our application to address their most pressing needs.”

Through site visits and personal conversations with users, the team gets a first-hand understanding of the challenges in construction management and develops time-saving solutions to address them. In one simple but impactful example, a user requested a button to automatically insert their email address onto reports. The feature was developed and implemented. This seemingly small change is estimated to save organizations ten hours per month.

One of ROVUK’s most popular features is the timekeeping module, which can function in a variety of ways. Default start/end times can be used to populate data. Supervisor and manager-level accounts have permission to enter clock-in and clock-out times manually, or they can scan personalized QR codes on each employee’s device for the same function. Employees can also clock in and out using the device, provided they are within the parameters set by the organization. ROVUK utilizes geofencing to deny access to users when they are away from the job site.

The platform has the ability to assign cost codes to almost everything. This helps companies, small or large, provide the right information for their accounting department. This allows clients to review reports of costs on a per-project, per-item, or per-category basis. All data can be conveniently exported from the app, which can integrate seamlessly with popular accounting software like QuickBooks and others.

The same customizability and granular tracking principles are carried out for all functions. The entire procurement process can be handled exclusively in ROVUK, from purchase order requests and approvals to unexpected expenses, and is all tracked on a per-project basis. This application handles vendor management, allowing users to track the progress and delivery of materials.

It also comes with an HRIS functionality, giving managers on-the-spot access to critical employee information, such as safety education compliance and emergency contact data, all stored securely in the cloud-based system.

A distinct challenge for construction professionals is accommodating field change orders. Without the ability to accurately calculate costs, it can be difficult to price last-minute changes. With ROVUK, users can generate an accurate change order, complete the approval process on-site, and attach documentation for future invoicing. One client, in particular, could recoup over $52,000 of uncollectable costs, thanks exclusively to this feature.

By automating the routine tasks involved in construction project management, ROVUK saves their valued clients between 40 and 100 hours a month. Full functionality of all modules is included in the low per-user subscription rate. The team is constantly improving and upgrading the product, which has over 175 features, with monthly updates and more functionalities. ROVUK aims to expand its offerings to serve general contractors as well.
