Frequently Asked Questions
Shape Shift Manager is construction daily reporting software that captures detailed progress, labor hours, equipment use, materials installed, and downtime against scheduled activities. Reports pre-fill from the previous shift, work on mobile, and roll up into a defensible record of what each crew delivered. It replaces paper diaries and ad-hoc spreadsheets with a structured, auditable site diary.
Most site supervisors can complete a Shift Manager daily report in five to ten minutes because activities, resources, and locations pre-fill from yesterday's submission. Step-by-step prompts guide the user, and a multi-user mode lets multiple supervisors contribute to the same shift. Compared to paper diaries that get transcribed later, this can save several hours per crew per week.
Yes. Each Shift Manager report captures labor hours by person and trade, equipment hours by asset, materials installed by quantity, and downtime events with reasons. Resources are allocated to specific schedule activities and locations, so commercial teams can substantiate cost-plus billing, value cost overruns, and quantify the financial impact of disruption.
Shift Manager can import activities from Primavera P6, Asta Powerproject, MS Project, or any XML-compatible scheduling tool. Field teams log progress against the real activities they were assigned, so percent complete, downtime, and resource hours roll up automatically. Updated progress can then be exported back to the scheduler each week without manual data entry.
Every Shift Manager report receives an automatic completeness score based on whether required fields, photos, and resource allocations are filled in. The Data Book dashboard shows quality by team member as a heatmap, so project managers can coach individual supervisors before gaps in the record become problems for a claim or payment application.
Yes. Shift Manager supports multi-user mode, so several supervisors or trade leads can contribute to the same shift report at the same time. This is useful on large sites where one foreman might handle civils, another handles MEP, and a third covers logistics. The platform merges contributions into a single, signed report at shift end.
Cost-plus and time-and-materials contracts require evidence-backed allocation records. Shift Manager captures actual labor hours per activity, equipment hours per asset, and materials installed with photo evidence and timestamps. Payment applications can be exported as XLSX or PDF, ready to submit with supporting daily records. This typically speeds up approval and reduces disputes over claimed hours.
Shift Manager can sit alongside Procore Daily Log or Autodesk Build, or replace them. Contractors opt to use Shape because adoption is easier in the field; the mobile-first design and pre-fill behaviour mean foremen can actually complete reports. Records can be exported to other platforms via Excel, PDF, or integrations including Power BI, SharePoint, and Power Automate.
Yes. Shift Manager is designed for site use on iOS and Android. Reports can be drafted offline and synced when the device returns to coverage, and photos compress automatically to handle slow connections. This makes it usable in basements, tunnels, large industrial plants, and remote linear infrastructure where field reporting tools traditionally break down.
Yes. General contractors can use Shift Manager to standardize daily reports across all trades and supply chain partners. Specialist subcontractors, including Emico, Bysteel, and Jones Engineering, use it to evidence their own work and respond to contra-charges. Subcontractor users on a main contractor's project do not consume paid seats, encouraging supply chain-wide adoption.
