When comparing the popular board games Battleship and Chess, it’s clear that one relies on chance while the other requires strategy and skill. In Battleship, you blindly fire, hoping to hit your target by luck. Chess, on the other hand, demands careful planning, foresight, and precision.

Now, think about how your construction company schedules crucial tasks like hauling materials, fueling, equipment repairs, and coordinating subcontractors. If these tasks aren’t planned with deliberate intention, taking into account not just the next day’s plans but how each task impacts the rest, then you’re playing Battleship, not Chess. “You can’t manage what you can’t see!” This principle drove the creation of Vizzn’s innovative dispatch and scheduling software. In construction, variances in expected schedules happen all the time. Teams responsible for material deliveries, fueling, equipment repairs, and subcontractors operate independently with their own priorities, often resulting in chaos that jeopardizes profitability.

Vizzn empowers you to play Chess, not Battleship. By digitizing dispatch and scheduling, Vizzn gives you clear visibility and confidence in how all events align — days in advance. It translates the activities of various teams into a cohesive plan, ensuring seamless coordination across job sites.

With Vizzn, teams responsible for critical tasks are digitally held accountable to the plan while gaining enhanced visibility as the day unfolds.

Even with the best schedule, unexpected challenges can arise. Vizzn equips those on the ground with tools to react quickly. Clicking on any event offers the same level of visibility as if you were handling the task yourself.

For instance, if you have 30 trucks hauling materials, Vizzn lets you track each one in real time—monitoring stats like turns, stops, tickets, cycle times, and loads. You can replay the entire operation, gaining more insight than the truck drivers themselves. This level of detail ensures that you’re always in control, making informed decisions that keep your project on track and profitability intact.

“Small, seemingly insignificant improvements in day-to-day construction, driven by better dispatch and scheduling, when multiplied across all crews and repeated daily, will deliver staggering results by year’s end.”

Combining Vizzn Dispatch and Scheduling with Interactive Drawings

When you combine Vizzn’s Dispatch and Scheduling with its Interactive Drawings, you unlock another level of profitability. Vizzn’s digital drawings are like playing chess with the computer’s assistance turned on—you’re set up to win every time.

Interactive Drawings ensure Foremen execute the job in the most efficient way. By marking up a drawing during the estimating phase and placing it onto Vizzn Maps, the person constructing the site can follow the plan precisely every time.

These digital drawings provide workers with real-time insights into their exact location on the plans, enhancing their understanding of the environment and project context. Marked-up drawings turn each construction project into a simple connect-the-dots task, where success is almost guaranteed. With Vizzn, your team isn’t just playing chess—they’re using an unbeatable strategy to ensure every move leads to success.

Bringing Everything Full Circle

This is where everything comes full circle. Only with a comprehensive understanding of the scope and methodology of the upcoming work can schedules be optimized for profitability. It’s only then that dispatch can be precisely coordinated. Without clarity on what the crew plans to build and how they intend to execute it, tomorrow, how can you accurately determine the necessary people, materials, equipment, or subcontractors? With Vizzn, you see it all—ensuring every piece falls into place.

Combining Strategy with Simplicity

What makes Vizzn fascinating is its simplicity. It replaces the traditional phone calls that used to drive dispatch and scheduling with a streamlined messaging system. Vizzn captures the datafrom these messages and automatically transforms it into meaningful calendars and dashboards. The best part? Your existing process and flow don’t have to change—now, everyone can see what they need to see.

Vizzn Transforms Other Areas of Your Operation

As mentioned, the power of having full visibility into how one division’s actions impact another is undeniable. This transparency allows divisions to react swiftly and effectively.

Vizzn further enhances this dynamic by incorporating 16 integrated products into its platform, each augmenting the other for maximum impact.

For example, Vizzn not only keeps your job schedules up to date but also flags missing safety paperwork and rental needs through its integrated safety and equipment rental systems built on the dispatch and scheduling back bone. Whether it’s truck management, fleet management, project management, quality control, or document management, Vizzn has you covered with fully integrated solutions that combine seemingly unrelated aspects for staggering results.
