🎙 Episode 2 is now live!   You Already Have the Data In this episode of Hard Hats and Data Chats, Fraser Gallop and Steve Gross dig into a key insight for contractors: you don’t need more data—you need to better use the data you already have. They share practical, real-world examples of how information captured in ERP systems, timesheets, and billing processes can be activated to improve productivity, simplify time-and-materials billing, and reduce manual work. From tracking quantities alongside labor hours to replacing spreadsheets with system-driven reporting, the discussion focuses on small changes that deliver meaningful impact. The episode also touches on earned value, forecasting, and why consistent data discipline creates better visibility, scalability, and profitability over time. If you’re looking for ways to unlock insights from your existing systems and work smarter—not harder—this episode is for you. You Already Have the Data – Hard Hats & Data Chats – Apple Podcasts

Introducing Our New Podcast: Hard Hats & Data Chats   We’re excited to share something new with you! Computer Guidance has officially launched our podcast, Hard Hats & Data Chats — a series dedicated to real conversations at the intersection of construction, technology, and data-driven decision making. 🎙 Episode 1 is now live! In our first episode of Hard Hats and Data Chats, Fraser Gallop and Steve Gross introduce the series and dive into one of construction’s biggest challenges: turning everyday operational data into timely, actionable insights. They discuss how ERPs capture essential information, why accessing it is often harder than collecting it, and how spreadsheet‑based workflows create delays, version issues, and reporting headaches. They also share real client stories—from month‑end WIP struggles to the impact of moving from nightly to twice‑daily data refreshes—showing how better data flow can transform project oversight and decision‑making. Join Fraser and Steve as they lay the foundation for becoming a truly data‑driven construction organization. Listen to Episode 1
