About Assignar

Assignar is an end-to-end operational solution for the construction industry, designed for subcontractors and self-performing general contractors, spanning from scheduling and asset and workflow management to compliance and reporting. The cloud-based system is paired with a companion Field Worker App to send critical project data to the office and keep on-site workers and machinery safe and compliant. No more relying on spreadsheets, whiteboards, and clipboards because Assignar’s document management features go beyond just storage with the ability to create custom online forms, leave requests, inspection sheets, safety reviews, and more with the ability to capture digital signatures.

Timesheets can be collected on-site, stored via the app, sent directly to the office, and exported to accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. The paperless data flow feeds into accurate invoicing from timesheet information, payroll processing, and various customizable, highly visual reporting options.


Key benefits of Assignar

  • Assignar provides comprehensive management software for construction contractors and fieldworkers alike, centralizing key project workflow features via cloud-based browser and mobile app support.


  • Collect and store timesheets for approval and export to other accounting software, while using the imported data to accurately build invoices and process payroll.


  • Issue job notifications and reminders and communicate with the field in real time without relying on constant phone calls thanks to bulk email and SMS sending capabilities.


  • Run custom reports and use the built-in Data Visualizer to generate tree maps, bar charts, heatmaps and more to receive deeper insights into your operations.


  • The companion Fieldworker app offers native access from Android and iOS smartphones, keeping remote construction staff connected with optimized on-the-fly features, like tracking time and filling out forms.

    Compliance Management in one basket

    Amalgamating personnel, plant and equipment records into one manageable system. Allows the Workshop Team to schedule their weeks out more effectively as they have better insight into plant and equipment servicing and compliance requirements. Job creation is faster too, allowing jobs to be scheduled more efficiently.

    Pros

    The compliance management is the key feature that has been the most beneficial for the client I set Assignar up with. It makes managing plant and personnel compliance very easy. It allows all associated plant documents (along with scans and images) and service to be easily accessed in the field by our workers if their client requests to see more information. The same goes for worker's qualifications and licences. It keep them all in the one place, easily accessed from an app. The digital forms have also been adopted quickly and saves time on site, not dealing with paper records. Underground asset management and safety is key in this client's industry, so allowing Dial Before you Dig drawings to be uploaded directly to a job saves alot of time printing out the plans, or even if you weren't printing them you'd still need to take a long time going through all the emails each Utility Company sends through. So it also acts well as a document repository for project specific documents. This saves fieldworkers needing to access the other cloud platforms (e.g. Sharepoint) - it's all accessible in Assignar.

    Cons

    There is a decent learning curve when learning how to set up the program. The support and training was delivered very well though. I do think though that a business would still need someone 'driving' this platform on a regular basis. It's not a set and forget system for a small operator. Like most online systems, it only works as well as the data that is put into in and who is looking after and monitoring that data.

    Really great support and onboarding process, good staged approach and still learning new things about it

    Pros

    Wide range of capabilities, highly customisable. Support centre always responds quickly and is super helpful, and aims to solve any issues quickly, raising to other levels or parts of the business if they need to. Really like the Insights feature and the ability for an admin user to create and play around with that.

    Cons

    Mobile apps sometimes glitch out, whether related to mobile reception or form completion. Probably an ongoing issue with any apps or technology.
    I would like to have push notifications for certain aspects on the app, maybe a Dashboard user profile so notifications like Service updates or Document notifications can be sent to phones as well

    So disappointed. The only thing they could do without begging for support was send an email with the auto renewal that if I didn't respond to by a certain date would have to pay another $27500 for the year. When I emailed back DO NOT AUTO RENEW WE WILL NOT RESIGN I received an email stating That's not good we will get someone in touch with you to sort this out but never heard from anyone again. We have switch to Dashpivot/Sitemate and even thought all apps have technical glitches it's 99% less then Assignar and the support if awesome, cost is much less and the men find it so easy to use.

    Pros

    Machine maintenance and prestart were easy to use but there were no reminders for services etc we had to manually enter all hours to make this happen but I much less for a workshop program

    Cons

    Everything
    No free trial, had to sign up full amount
    Timesheets had too many issues to list. Constant complaints daily from employees
    So many glitches in the app on everything and the complaints were from tech savvy employees
    Not being able to see sight plans or any paperwork from app on site
    Once annual fee was paid we never got the support promised
    Could create the forms we needed such as SMWS but have switched to another program and have made all our own forms that can be edited and filled in onsite and everyone has access to at a 3rd of the price

    We have come a long way as a company since the time we started with Assigner, back 3 years ago. At the start we were not using the Product to its Full Potential. Now 12mnths in we have made our day-to-day processes faster to action, tasks completed in a timely manner, Compliance is at a higher standard.

    Pros

    How quickly the response to changes that are made in the System. Great Customer Service when needing Support. User Friendly, able to adapt to our Companys Needs.

    Cons

    Filtering could be a bit more improved.

    overall, the system is good but it would be good if there was better way of getting areas developed and customized. the suggestion section is good but sometimes it feels like things people are voting for don't seem to get taken onboard. the support from the team is great and can not be faulted.

    Pros

    The scheduling future is great, the ongoing support from [sensitive content hidden], [sensitive content hidden] and the team is great

    Cons

    some areas don't not have a great flow and some changes don't seem practical.It would be great if loose dockets could be linked manually to a order in the same fashion as a form can be manually linked. Also some data is locked and can not be changed if a error has been made like there is no way to change a orders client/project if has been created in error.
