CFITS is a powerful, pay as you go, easy to use barcode tracking system for construction projects

Construction · Fabrication · Installation

The Construction Fabrication and Installation Tracking System (CFITS) tracks the receipt and use of raw materials, fabrication and installation of custom components for buildings. CFITS can track issue and return of materials and tools at multiple fabrication facilities and building sites. This includes on service vehicles and time and materials used for refurbishment.

BellHawk Online system capabilities and modules

CFITS is a "Cloud" based system that can be accessed anywhere there is an Internet connection using a wide variety of devices including smart phones and tablets as well as using laptops and PCs. This includes tracking materials in yards and on building sites using devices capable of communicating over a cellular phone data network.

CFITS consists of the RT-OPS base system plus WMS warehouse and PROJ project tracking modules. These enable you track multiple releases of assemblies through fabrication, shipping and installation.

7 examples of CFITS tracking capabilities

1. Receipt and storage of raw materials at multiple locations.
2. Labour and materials required for the fabrication and installation of custom components such as masonry, windows, steel and concrete beams, cabinets and other millwork, panels, ducting, piping assemblies and electrical panels.
3. Shipment of materials to site, ensuring that the right materials get delivered to each site as part of its specified release.
4. Receipt of materials on-site and their use in installation.
5. Issue of tools to people and jobs as well as their return.
6. Tools and other materials on service vehicles.
7. Tracking labour time, materials, tools and other assets used for refurbishment after a disaster.

4 examples of CFITS benefis

1. Replaces the use of paper forms and Excel spread sheets for tracking jobs and materials and replaces these with the use of barcode scanning for rapid and efficient collection of data, including accurately computing the cost of jobs.
2. Gives an instantaneous view of the status of jobs being performed by multiple crews at different geographic locations. It tracks how long those jobs have taken and the materials consumed or wasted for each job.
3. Provides cost data such as labour and materials in the form of Excel spreadsheets or by direct on-line connection to COTTS. This can be used to automate incremental billing for jobs.
4. Import Bill of Materials data from CAD design programs such as AutoCAD and use these as the basis of tracking the fabrication of components and their shipment to site.
