Novade Product Update for December 2021

 

New Timekit integration simplifies construction booking and scheduling experience

It’s the holiday season and the elves at Novade are working hard to further enhance the platform with exciting updates to keep our customers full of cheer through 2022.

Users will be able to simplify site communication and build greater relationships by connecting teams with advanced appointment scheduling through the Novade-Timekit integration. The integration onto the Novade construction management platform enables you to seamlessly view and coordinate bookings, such as scheduling handovers and inspections, while managing key site processes on one integrated app. You can find more information on how the integration simplifies handover scheduling here.

Happy exploring and we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
