InEight Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm a project controls manager here in the company, I'd say the most important usage of the system is the capacity to track quantities via components and their respective claiming schemes, connect them with the actual hours via daily plans and REPORT. I kept reporting in caps since it's my main role as part of this team. Recently, InEight gave me the opportunity to get into OData, and I'm discovering a new world over there, integrating all tables and providing good information throughout the company.

I'm also responsible for setting a new job into InEight, and share this knowledge with people that does not do that too often. I also support the user management as well as operational resources. Another new feature (at least for us) is the usage of Billing Classes and Rates, and we are getting deeper on it, it's working well. We are going to start a better understanding on schedule and estimate in the near future, to expand the usage on the tool and ourselves as well. Excited about that.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's definitely a good tool for progress tracking, as well as time tracking. The ability to forecast quantities provide an even better scenario, closer to the reality, supporting even change management.

The change management is also a good method, besides the fact of rework if you think in the whole process of issue creation, promoting to PCO, promote to CCO, execute the issue, move to change in controls, and so on... just now I think having all in a single place would minimize the manual work and maybe increase the engagement on it.

About a negative point, I'd use a feature that appears to be in all modules. It's pretty much a cosmetic, but it impact in the productivity, a lot. For all fields you will fill with information, whenever your mouse hover over it, a tooltip appears, impeding you to continue, so you have to walk around, click in a place that's not being covered by that tooltip, go back to your keyboard and continue... again, it's a cosmetic, but having this in a Monday, with a full job to plan, claim quantities, and whatever else, it's annoying.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization used InEight as a project management and time keeping tool. It was used for tracking contract quantities and cost reporting. Field employees used the product to enter and submit their labor and equipment hours.

Likelihood to Recommend

InEight was unable to talk to our ERP system which required double entry of all processes

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use InEight mainly for timesheets and basic hour tracking. We code our hours to certain business groups, and it makes it easy to track the hours worked. It helps us keep accurate records of work hours, which simplifies payroll and project cost tracking. While our use is limited to straightforward time management tasks, it still plays a key role in improving efficiency and reducing manual errors.

Likelihood to Recommend

Timesheet coding and hour tracking is where I can really speak to. That works quite well and the dashboard, while it has it's uses, we haven't used it to the fullest extent mainly as it is hard for new users to learn and manipulate the system. A better and more extensive FAQ or system training would be great

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

InEight was brought in to replace toolbox the existing ERP used for end-to-end project management. I use it primarily for invoice processing and i find it to be very straightforward and easy to understand. The main issue I have with InEight during invoice processing is that it cannot detect errors in the invoice and only when you submit to SAP do you see a parked invoices error which then has to be deleted, and a new invoice created as the failed payment form cannot be reused. This is very time consuming & inefficient.

Likelihood to Recommend

The case of HoldBack processing, you have to manually process this in SAP and InEight doesn't have the functionality to get this done. Also... when preparing a report on all projects, you cannot mass spool from InEight the way we do it in SAP. it has to be done individually for all projects

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

InEight is used as a document sharing platform in which we can see the status of the document in regard to what stage of review the document is in. The stages can be approved, resubmit or under review.

Likelihood to Recommend

InEight is good for viewing the stages of review of those documents. under whose authority, the review process is in. The areas where it is less appropriate is in customizing your viewer for easy filtering.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use InEight on a day by day basis. I use it for daily planning of tasks to be performed. Also, to keep track of up to date quantities and remaining quantities for tasks being performed. Run reports to make sure we are advancing the project at a good performance rate. I use InEight for document control, compliance, and completion of tasks being performed.

Likelihood to Recommend

InEight is well used for big organizations where you want to plan your daily tasks and make sure you are keeping track of all the workers in the field's time. It makes it easier to see and to make sure that the employees' time sheets are correct and that they are getting paid for work completed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use InEight primarily for FLHA's and Safety Minutes. I use it daily and also pull crews FLHA's, Safety Minutes and Worksite Inspections daily. I am not Safety but I use the site frequently enough that I took training to be able to navigate it. There are a few issues I find plague me but are not overly serious just a little annoying.

1. There is a 15-minute delay in downloading FLHA's that are recently completed and if you try to open them too soon, you have to wait again.

2. I don't find InEight as intuitive and as easy to navigate as I am used to with other platforms.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited would be the number of different documents there are. I don't know if there is anything less appropriate for what I use it for, just not as easy.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I was very impressed with the performance of the application. Versatile in its use due to holding plenty of forms and options. Quick access to my information is excellent, especially when I need to pull information from the field. The ability to support my forms by adding attachments is excellent!

Likelihood to Recommend

I was impressed by the performance

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Production reporting, inventory, time capture.

Likelihood to Recommend

Recording inventory and monitoring production, time capture is seemless. the app is very user friendly for phone use and field team.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used InEight as an estimating consultant for the Heavy Civil & Infrastructure Industry for many years. I have developed 36 Master Estimates in InEight Format including 70,000 items & activities, 500 labor rates, 1,700 equipment rates & 7,000 material rates. The InEight Master Estimates cover Highways, Bridges, Tunnels, Sewer & Water, Paving, Light Rail Track & Transmission Lines. InEight allows users to copy & paste any of the detailed assemblies into their active estimate.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for bidding hard money construction jobs. Not great for creating presentation reports for Engineers Estimates.
