Hard Hats & Data Chats Episode #2 – You Already Have the Data

🎙 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.

[Podcast] Introducing Our New Podcast: Hard Hats & Data Chats

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.

W2 Error

Dear Valued Customer,

It has come to our attention that the states of Arizona and Kansas are rejecting the W2 electronic file for the following error message:

Error Code#: 4200 Line or Position#: 1406 Record: RS Field Position: 320-330. Incorrect field

The field length is incorrect in position 320-330 of the RS record. Positions 328-330 are coming in as blank, and they need to be zero if there is not another value that populates in that field.

This error message may not be limited to Arizona and Kansas.  You need to receive updated program PRP440.  This will be installed as Quick Fix 552 (QF552).

This program fix will be installed automatically for hosted customer.  If you are enterprise customers, please create an on-line ticket to request the install of QF552.

Customer Support Website

The majority of the states have state specific programs and will not be affected. A handful of states use the “generic” PRP440 program which include Arizona and Kansas.

Thank you!
