Ninety percent of RIVET’s new features come from customer requests and feedback. We believe having an open dialog with the people who use our Workforce Management platform every day makes not just our tool better, but our team too.

No two contractors are alike, and no two contractors use RIVET the same way. What the RIVET platform enables, however, is consistency regardless of who’s using it.

For Xcel Mechanical Systems Inc., that comes back to RIVET's Map and worker Tags. Both features work in concert to make it easier for contractors to ensure the right people are assigned to the right jobs. When a superintendent goes to staff a project, they can sort the workforce by who's skilled and trained in PLA in addition living in a nearby ZIP code.

"I love the Map because that's going to help [superintendents] figure out who to send to jobs that are further than the core of our jurisdiction," said Vice President of Finance Malou Laureano. President Kevin Michel agreed. For him, "it's going to make the unintentional errors in scheduling... it's gonna really help out in that area."
