Frequently asked questions
What does Production Analyst do?
Production Analyst monitors budget-to-actual performance and flags cost codes trending over budget. It pulls time cards, cost codes, foreman diaries, and equipment data from HeavyJob to explain what’s driving the variance, not just that one exists.
Does it replace my project managers or make decisions for me?
No. Production Analyst surfaces an objective analysis so your PMs can make informed decisions faster. It identifies and explains variances; your team decides what action to take.
Where does the data come from, and is it secure?
