Feedback on Assignar

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Assignar to schedule our staff, plant and vehicles across jobs. We also use it for timesheet submission and approval, daily pre-starts and other compliance requirements. Worker licences, competencies and qualifications are maintained in the system so we can ensure personnel are compliant before being allocated to a project. The main benefit is having one system to manage workforce planning, compliance and resource allocation across the business..

Pros

  • It assists with scheduling
  • Timesheets
  • Competency records capture

Cons

  • Biggest frustration is being told "Assignar is not a Finance system". It should have the ability to reject time
  • Inability to lock down projects and cost codes
  • Poor dashboards
  • Cannot see exceptions easily.

Return on Investment

  • Allows us to allocate and bill a portion of our labour force
  • Assists with some degree of workforce and asset utilisation
  • Assists with tracking compliance
