Real-Time Data Capture

Oncore's highly flexible and configurable real-time data capture system provides a single point of entry for multiple stakeholders to input all cost and progress measures. Costs are collected as near as possible to their source providing clarity and granularity in information.

Oncore supports input and acquisition of Labor hours, Equipment hours, Materials usage and Expense charges as described below.

• Identify the Location, Activity Status, Manager, and Supplier of the equipment as needed.
• Assign User-defined parameters to effectively manage equipment utilization.

Materials

Materials are defined as entities that are consumed or installed in the delivery of work on a project. Materials are typically assigned a unit rate to calculate the total cost based on usage.

• Capture Materials, consumables and other indirect costs incurred in the execution of a Work Package.
• Materials can be associated to the work performed by Work Package to the Work Item level.
• Materials may be supplied by the Contractor during the execution of the work, or purchased by the Owner and free-issued to the Contractor as bulk items or major equipment purchases.
• Material costs are calculated and tracked based on consumption or usage during the course of the project.
• Track quantities and events, e.g. truckloads of gravel, pallets, trips to/from worksite, etc.
• Identify and track Materials by Supplier.

Expenses

Expenses are defined as costs incidental to, or in support of, the work performed on a project.
