Whether on-site, on-the-move or in the site office, Asta Sitecontrol offers more efficient management of construction projects

Asta Development, an Eleco plc company and leading provider of resource and project management and portfolio management solutions, has launched Asta Sitecontrol, a project management solution for site managers and project managers.

Asta Sitecontrol is a comprehensive tool that works across fixed and mobile platforms including PDAs and mobile phones to provide companies with greater control over the on-site management of their projects. The software also enables the transferral of real time site progress and intelligence into central plans.

Key features of Asta Sitecontrol include the site diary, time reporting, work orders and contact and document library.

Asta Sitecontrol not only improves on-site work and progress management but also provides an audit trail of site activities and progress milestones; such records are invaluable in the case of any future disputes. In addition, Asta Sitecontrol helps construction companies improve communications with clients and suppliers through effortless project correspondence, made possible through the use of document management and contact management features.

Asta Sitecontrol interfaces seamlessly with Asta Powerproject, a leading project management solution for the construction industry, enabling project managers to export and integrate information in real time. This provides a critical link between the actual build program and master plan in order to create detailed, accurate and comprehensive plans and status reports.

Michael McCullen, Managing Director at Asta Development and CEO of Eleco Construction Software said: “In the current economic climate all companies are under pressure to run operations as efficiently as possible. Asta Sitecontrol offers project managers a simple and accurate means of documenting and managing construction projects from the field making efficient use of mobile technologies such as PDAs and mobile phones.“

Asta Sitecontrol is the result of a collaboration between two Eleco plc companies, Consultec SE and Asta Development. Michael McCullen added “Asta Sitecontrol is the first project we have launched which is built upon the collective knowledge of Eleco Construction Software businesses in Germany, Sweden and the UK. It is every bit an Asta solution, derived from an internationally established core software. We are very excited by the possibilities to extend the Asta Development offering to Sitecontrol.”
