SiteSense Features

Track And Trace

SiteSense records the current and previous location of each item using GPS data with coordinates attached. These locations appear on maps that can use drone or satellite imagery. RFID, Bluetooth, and IoT systems from other vendors can send automatic location updates when an item crosses into or out of a geofenced zone. Event triggers then advance progress steps according to logic that users define, and barcode scans update the status of individual items or packages.

Materials And Inventory Management

The platform follows materials from purchase order through receiving, storage, picking, and issuing. As materials are issued, it reduces inventory against current availability. Before a shipment arrives, vendors can upload packing lists, change the shipment, and attach photos or barcodes to materials. Field teams submit material requests from mobile devices. When a device is offline, the app holds the data and syncs it to the server after the connection returns, and every transaction receives a time stamped log entry.

Tools, Assets, And Equipment Management

Barcodes or RFID tags identify tools and equipment in the software, and teams can check items out to specific projects or workers. Field users can record engine run time hours and schedule inspections, which then appear in the list of upcoming tasks. Users log completed maintenance with the worker, date, and location. Dashboards report on equipment utilization and movement, while project reports list the assets assigned to each site.

Materials And Equipment Planning

Planners can view material availability and estimated delivery dates on SiteSense dashboards, which cover the full material pipeline. The software allocates materials to installation work packages based on current availability and delivery schedules, and users can review package requirements several weeks ahead. The scheduling tool plans critical activities with the latest data. Users can update work package progress either automatically or by hand.
