Benefits of Leveraging Tenna’s Schedule
See Everything in One Calendar View
With Tenna, you can see equipment, labor, and project needs next to each other. You can also schedule across many job sites using one calendar or Gantt Chart view. If you need a 2-week lookahead for daily tasks or a 3-month plan for future goals, Tenna helps you stay prepared.
Plan Smarter with Live Resource Data
Unlike static spreadsheets or outdated whiteboards, Tenna’s construction planning and scheduling software combines real-time equipment tracking with centralized scheduling. Telematics devices automatically capture equipment locations and job assignments through GPS and geofencing, while integrated maintenance scheduling shows planned downtime. This gives logistics managers and dispatchers complete visibility into asset availability without the guesswork.
Improve Communication Across Teams
Tenna’s scheduling solution brings transparency to all project stakeholders. Field teams get clear assignments and avoid delays from miscommunication. Project Managers align timelines, budget expectations, and resource needs. Dispatchers eliminate redundant calls, texts, and paperwork. Maintenance staff know when machines are not in use for maintenance scheduling.
Minimize Costly Mistakes and Delays
When everyone understands the plan, you lower confusion and mistakes. By having all the required equipment and labor resources on site, contractors can avoid expensive delays. Plus, contractors save by reducing unnecessary rentals with better pre-planning of owned assets.
