Abstract
The rapid growth of the construction industry has created a need for efficient systems that can manage workforce allocation, project requests, and employee scheduling. Traditional methods of manual booking and task assignment often lead to miscommunication, delays, and poor resource utilization. To address these challenges, APC Track – Online Employee Booking System for Building Construction is developed as a web-based platform that simplifies the process of managing construction workforce operations.
The system enables clients to submit project booking requests, which can then be reviewed and approved by managers. Approved bookings are converted into projects where managers can assign employees based on skills, availability, and project requirements. Employees can view their assigned tasks, update work progress, and communicate with the project manager. The system incorporates role-based access control, ensuring secure and organized interaction among administrators, managers, employees, and clients. Additionally, APC Track provides automated email notifications, dashboards for performance analytics, and a centralized database for recording all workforce activities.
This project enhances transparency, reduces administrative workload, and improves project efficiency by integrating booking, assignment, and progress tracking into a single user-friendly platform. The system serves as a scalable digital solution for construction companies seeking to modernize their workforce and project management processes.
