We are thrilled to announce the release of the latest features and enhancements for Rhumbix. These exciting improvements build upon our commitment to empowering construction professionals with powerful tools to boost productivity, increase accuracy, and save valuable time.

The new features in Rhumbix are designed to further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of construction operations. From enhanced timekeeping capabilities to advanced reporting features, contractors can expect a significant leap forward in managing their projects seamlessly. By leveraging the latest technological advancements, Rhumbix continues to be at the forefront of innovation, enabling contractors to work smarter and achieve unparalleled levels of operational excellence. Stay tuned for a closer look at the features that will drastically improve how you track, report, and manage construction activities.

Employee-Level Shifts & Breaks

To deliver improved tracking and assure compliance with labor regulations in complex environments like California, Rhumbix Timekeeping users can now track the Start and End Times for Shifts, Meals, and Breaks at the employee level on a timecard with a more seamless, streamlined interface. This information can be entered through both the Mobile App and Web Dashboard and will start to appear across reporting and workflows in the RMBX platform.

Key features include

1. Worker Level Tracking: Previously, shifts and breaks were set at the crew level. With this new employee level tracking, shifts, breaks and meals can be tracked by worker, to account for different shift and attendance patterns.
2. Increased Visibility: Shifts, Meals and Breaks can be tracked in the timekeeping entry interface, and can be adjusted at the employee, group of employee, or bulk crew level, as with timekeeping
3. Workflow Improvements: We will be improving the flow of this data through the approval, reporting and data components of the Rhumbix platform to ensure this critical information is available to stakeholders. 

By implementing these strategies, construction firms can effectively manage change orders, mitigate the associated risks, and deliver successful projects that meet client expectations.

Create a Timecard in Weekly View

The Create Time Card feature allows web users to set up and populate a time card using a similar workflow as the mobile app. This often requested feature allows users to quickly configure a web-friendly timecard view, update hours and cost codes for a set of employees, and includes prompts and dialogs to confirm entries and changes upon submission. → Learn more

Duplicate on Web in Weekly View

The Duplicate feature allows web users to duplicate an existing time card using a similar workflow to the mobile app. In the event that an admin or office-based user needs to duplicate a timecard, this can quickly and reliably be achieved to create a new timecard in the current reporting or payroll period.

This feature brings more parity between web and mobile for users who may elect to enter time from the web which we have observed across Rhumbix users is a common occurrence. → Learn more

Timekeeping Comments

ADD FEATURE BY REQUEST

Comments are enabled in your company’s account. Timekeeping Comments allow Web and Mobile users to enter a Comment at the cost code/hours level of a time card. This information will show up in Weekly View alongside the timekeeping entry. 

This allows field supervision to include targeted annotations and comments on cost codes which will then flow through the reporting and data. This allows contextually rich data to be appended to time and cost data, potentially leading to rich and valuable insights later in the project. → Learn more

Modifiers are enabled in your company’s account by request.
