Standard software deployment vs. Managed operational partnerships

Assignar is a strong tool for resource allocation and scheduling. Like many standard SaaS platforms, the setup, form design, and ongoing workflow configuration are generally managed internally by your own administrative team.

Core Differences:

Our Melbourne-based engineering team actively partners with you to configure your custom workflows, program your specific award EBA pay rules, and connect your ERP/accounting packages. We handle the heavy lifting of implementation so your team can focus 100% on project delivery.

Where Cloudcon delivers a distinct advantage for civil operations

Moving beyond scheduling requires deep financial and asset connections. Here is how Cloudcon’s purpose-built ecosystem accelerates your time to value.

"Software with a Service" Commitment

We don't just provide software access; we act as an extension of your operations team. Cloudcon designs your digital dockets, programs your EBA pay conditions, and configures your ERP integrations upfront, ensuring you achieve real ROI without draining your internal admin resources.

Native EBA Payroll & Deep Cost Coding

While basic scheduling tools capture site hours, Cloudcon translates those hours into financial action. Our built-in award interpreter automatically processes complex Fair Work and union EBAs, mapping labour and plant costs directly to specific site activity codes in your accounting software.

Predictable Pricing & Included Integrations

Avoid surprise bills for core software functionality. Cloudcon offers clear per-user pricing with essential accounting, ERP, and telematics integrations included upfront, giving you complete financial predictability without hidden module fees.

We do the heavy lifting so your operations never miss a beat

Switching software shouldn’t strain your administrative team. Our Australian implementation specialists manage your entire system rollout from end to end.

Step 1: Workflow & EBA Programming

Hand us your current dockets, ticket registers, and award EBA rate cards. We build your templates and program your pay rules directly into the platform.

Step 2: ERP & Telematics Integration

We establish native, bi-directional data flows with your financial software (Xero, MYOB, Jobpac, Vista) and machine telematics feeds (CAT, Komatsu, Verizon Connect).

Step 3: Crew Training & Continuous Optimisation

We train your site supervisors, allocators, and operators. Once live, our team stays actively involved to refine your workflows as your business expands.

FAQs

What is the main difference between Cloudcon and Assignar?

While Assignar focuses primarily on crew scheduling and resource allocation, Cloudcon is a complete operational platform. Cloudcon provides native EBA award interpretation for payroll, deep activity cost coding, heavy fleet telematics integration, and fully managed implementation services included in transparent per-user pricing.

Can the digital timesheet software handle complex EBAs and civil Award rates?

Yes. Our timesheet module allows you to configure custom project rules, site allowances, and overtime triggers, ensuring that approved hours are perfectly mapped to your specific payroll requirements before export.

What does Cloudcon mean by "Software with a Service"?

Unlike software vendors who provide access and expect you to configure the software yourself, Cloudcon’s Australian engineering team builds your custom form templates, configures your complex union EBA pay rules, sets up your ERP integrations, and provides ongoing operational support.

Do mobile timesheets work if the construction crew is out of mobile reception?

Absolutely. The Cloudcon workforce mobile app features full offline capability. Workers can clock in, submit dockets, and view their roster without a cellular signal. The app securely stores the data and instantly syncs the moment they return to coverage.

How does Cloudcon's pricing compare to Assignar?

Cloudcon offers clear, predictable per-user pricing with core ERP integrations and reporting included. Assignar's pricing is quote-based — check their current published pricing for details on integrations, reports, and additional modules.

How does the workforce onboarding module handle temporary labour-hire?

You can easily send a digital onboarding link to temporary workers or labour-hire agencies via SMS or email. They complete their profile and upload their tickets from their phone, bringing them into your compliance ecosystem without requiring a permanent software license.
