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!

Pros

Stores information when I just want to save and come back later
Quickly adding pictures to submit forms is amazing
Never had any troubleshooting issues beyond an app restart

Cons

Pulling up submitted date is not possible
Requires a bit of explaining at start
Can be overwhelming for new commers

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.

Pros

Quantity Tracking
Daily Plans
Billings Class
Work Packaging

Cons

Forecast
Integration Between Modules
Controls Setup (maybe improving the upload file with more options)
Rates (we are not able to change a rate code as we do for billing class)
Forecast quantity inside the component (its sometimes very time consuming)

Return on Investment

Standardization
All in one
Friendly user

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.

Pros

Timesheet coding
straightforward dashboard
easy to use and learn for new users

Cons

A little clunky and so many tools but not the best training on how to use the software to the fullest extent.

Return on Investment

everything is in one place and easy to share within different business groups

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.

Pros

Tracking history of contract
Checking correctness of GST calculation
Itemize expenses through Schedule of Values

Cons

HB cannot be processed directly in in Eight
It fails to catch rounding error in quantities
Payment form cannot be reused after failed submission

Return on Investment

It has definitely made cost forecasting more cumbersome
Terminal items are too few
Front loaded and back loaded isnt enough forecast categorization

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.

Pros

Daily planning is made easy for day by day use.
Document control is easy to use and very detailed to find documents needed.
Keeping track of progress is easily available and controlled by filters to search for specific tasks.

Cons

Something I would change is making easier filters for quantity tracking.
The speed of running report for performance factor.

Return on Investment

It has had a positive impact in tracking time.
Tracking quantities is made more effective.
over all unit rates to man power needed for tasks.
