Construction apps for field data entry often find themselves competing with pens and clipboards. Looking to speed up another old-fashioned process, software maker Riskcast is expanding its time card management app with time and materials tracking—processes that can involve considerable manual paperwork.

For E-J Electric Installation Co., Riskcast was a serious upgrade from the approach it had been using just a few years ago. “We replaced many manual processes we had using paper and Excel,” says Anthony E. Mann, president and CEO of E-J Electric Installation. “It has reduced a lot of redundant steps of transferring and recording the same data multiple times.”
