RIVET x Remarcable Webinar How MEP Contractors are Tackling Workforce Productivity
How are contractors of all sizes driving massive efficiencies in today's market? It comes down to two things working in sync: labor and materials. In this panel discussion, co-hosted by RIVET and Remarcable, two industry leaders share exactly how they got their field, office, and warehouse on the same page — and what changed when they did. Hear directly from Stephen at Interstate Electrical Services and Brian at Amco as they break down the highs, the lows, and the lessons learned from moving off spreadsheets and disconnected systems to a connected workforce planning and procurement process. From labor forecasting and compression to supplier integrations, prefab timing, and reaching 100% field adoption, this is a candid, no-fluff look at what actually works. 🎯 What you'll learn: Why spreadsheets and "tribal knowledge" quietly cost you margin How labor forecasting up to two years out changes hiring, layoffs, and labor sharing across regions Using overlaid forecasts to chase (and win) change orders on compressed schedules How field-driven procurement eliminates backorders, returns, and crews standing around Real-world rollout strategies that drove 100% adoption with field and PM teams 👷 Featuring: Stephen — SVP of Technology, Interstate Electrical Services Brian — Director of Innovation & Development, Amco Cedric Kennedy — RIVET (Workforce Management) Andy Scott — Remarcable (Procurement, Tools & Prefab) ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Welcome & introductions 03:17 Meet the panel: Interstate Electrical & Amco 09:16 Life before: what labor planning used to look like 14:21 Execution & reallocating labor when projects shift 17:01 The material side: procuring, delivering, reconciling 22:50 Bridging labor + materials: "making the music" 28:25 Managing compression and chasing change orders 30:17 Smarter procurement with real-time analytics 36:39 Connecting prefab, tools, and manpower 42:11 Proactive vs. reactive planning 43:40 Measurable savings & ROI 44:51 Implementation: how they hit 100% adoption 51:37 About RIVET & Remarcable 56:23 Q&A: integration timelines & IT lift 🔗 Learn more: RIVET — Workforce Management for self-perform contractors: https://www.rivet.work/ Remarcable — Procurement, tools & prefab for trade contractors: https://www.remarcable.com/ Book a RIVET demo: https://www.rivet.work/schedule-a-demo Book a Remarcable demo: https://www.remarcable.com/request-demo 📚 Related from RIVET: The core principles of construction Workforce Management: https://www.rivet.work/blog/construct...
