Productivity Tracking

Protect margin on lump-sum projects

Track how estimated labour compares to actual performance while work is underway, so productivity drift is identified early and margins are protected before overruns compound. Currently in beta.

Take control of productivity and protect project margin

On lump-sum projects, labour performance determines profitability. Live productivity visibility enables early intervention, tighter cost control and stronger estimations.

Detect productivity shifts early

Flag variances between planned and actual labour output in real-time. Adjust crews, sequencing or supervision before margins are impacted.

Set clear productivity benchmarks

Define expected labour hours against quantities from the outset. Ensure performance is measured against what was priced, not assumptions.

Identify exactly where costs are rising

Drill into productivity by project, cost code, area, element, skill tag or supervisor. See where labour hours exceed expectations and need review.

Build stronger estimates over time

Historical productivity data strengthens with each completed project. Improve pricing accuracy on future lump-sum work and support more predictable margins.

“Neo has helped us save $100,000 in labour cost through improved labour allocation and productivity. It’s transformed how we plan, communicate and deliver projects.”

See labour performance as work happens

Track estimated versus actual productivity live across projects. See where labour hours are trending above initial projections. Drill into cost codes, areas, elements, skill tags or supervisors to understand what is driving performance variance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Neo Intelligence and how it works

What is Neo’s Productivity Tracking feature?

Neo’s Productivity Tracking feature gives subcontractors real-time visibility into labour productivity on active projects. It compares estimated versus actual productivity so you can detect productivity drift early, protect margin and improve future estimates.

What kind of subcontractors benefit from Neo’s Productivity Tracking feature?

Subcontractors delivering labour-intensive work under lump-sum contracts experience the greatest value from Productivity Tracking. Owners and operations managers responsible for protecting margin and pricing future work benefit directly from structured, real-time productivity insight.

How does Productivity Tracking work?

Neo compares estimated productivity against actual labour hours and progress. You set a productivity baseline using quantities and expected labour, then Neo tracks timesheets and completion data to show live performance across projects.

How is Neo different from using spreadsheets to track productivity?

Spreadsheets rely on manual data entry and quickly break down when tracking productivity across large crews, multiple projects and fragmented data. With hundreds of workers submitting daily timesheets across different tasks and cost codes, spreadsheets can generate thousands of rows of data, making it difficult to maintain accuracy or extract meaningful insights.

How is Neo’s Productivity Tracking different from other construction software platforms?

Most construction software platforms are built for contractors or project managers and focus on high-level reporting after the job is finished. Neo’s Productivity Tracking is built specifically for subcontractors and focuses on labour productivity in real-time – the biggest variable affecting margins. By capturing timesheet data directly from the field and automatically turning it into productivity insights, Neo gives subcontractors visibility while work is underway, helping them stay ahead of issues, protect profit and price future work more accurately.
