Fieldwire Workflow Scenarios

Construction projects live and die by how well information flows between the field and the office. Fieldwire has become a trusted tool for capturing tasks, punch items, and updates on mobile devices in real time. Volanti’s large-format plan review displays extend that power, turning jobsite trailers and offices into workflow hubs where crews and managers can review drawings at full scale, collaborate instantly, and make better decisions. Together, Fieldwire and Volanti close the loop. What’s captured in the field is seen, understood, and acted on at full size in the trailer, with updates flowing back to the crew without delay.

Seven workflow scenarios:

  1. Mobile to desktop handoff
  2. Direct mobile device connection
  3. Collaborative Plan Review Meetings
  4. On-Site Field Access
  5. Punch List & QA/QC Reviews
  6. Interactive Scheduling & Last Planner
  7. Paper to digital transition
