  • Assigned Responsible: At the far right of each row, a gray circular avatar with the initials of the collaborator in charge of supervising or executing the activity is shown (e.g. BG or AR).

9. Task and Supply Creation Process (Step-by-Step Modal)

When a supervisor or administrator initiates the creation of a new activity in the project, the platform displays a wizard configured in 3 sequential steps to ensure that all technical, logistical, and warehouse information is recorded correctly.

Step 1: Task Details

In this first stage, the general and geolocation properties of the activity are defined:

Crear Tarea - Paso 1 EdBuildSoft

Step 1: General details of the task.

  • Task Title (Mandatory): Text field to enter the name of the activity (e.g. "Framework" or "Crack repair").
  • Task Description (Optional): Free text block to add technical specifications or detailed instructions on how to execute the work.
  • Marker Type: Defines the visual representation the task will have on the technical blueprint. Available options are:
    • Pin: Exact point marker.
    • Area: Rectangular container to delimit zones.
    • Circle: Circular radius of affectation.
  • Associate to Catalog (Optional): Dropdown menu to link the task to a preconfigured item or category in the master catalog (e.g. Foundation, Finishes).
  • Assignee: Field to select and indicate which collaborator or team supervisor will be directly responsible for executing and validating the task.
  • Deadline: Calendar format selector to set the deadline for delivering the activity.

Step 2: Materials Allocation

⚠️ Security Permissions Note: This supplies and materials screen is only visible to users who have specific permissions to generate and request materials within the organization's role configuration.

If the user has the corresponding privileges, the system allows linking physical resources to the task:

Asignar Materiales - Paso 2 EdBuildSoft

Step 2: Requesting materials from inventory.

  • Select Material: A dropdown menu connected in real-time with the site's inventory to choose the required supply.
  • Quantity: Numeric field to specify the exact amount of units needed (e.g. pieces, bags, meters).
  • "+ Add another material" Button: Allows adding multiple rows of supplies within the same task request.

Step 3: Agenda Synchronization

The final stage of the wizard automates the communication of the schedule:

Sincronizar Agenda - Paso 3 EdBuildSoft

Step 3: Agenda synchronization options.

  • Sync Agenda: The system asks if you want to index this activity in the global calendar.
  • "Add to Agenda" Button: By activating this interactive checkbox, the platform will automatically create an event in the Agenda module referencing the task title and its deadline, notifying the involved team before proceeding to click the "Save" button.

Final Warehouse Checkout Flow (Business Rules)

Once the user clicks "Save", the system evaluates the registered information and applied permissions to determine how the process closes:

  • Scenario A: With Material Request (Generates Out Ticket) If the user had enabled permissions and added supplies in Step 2, the system processes a supply order and displays the Out Ticket screen. This window automatically generates a unique dynamic QR Code. The field supervisor must present this scannable QR code at the site's warehouse so the storekeeper can validate the transaction, deduct the supplies from the Inventory module stock, and physically hand over the materials. Código QR de Vale de Salida EdBuildSoft

    Automatic generation of the QR code for the out ticket.

  • Scenario B: Without Material Request (Checklist Only) If the user did not add materials to the task (or if their platform role lacks the necessary permissions for supply management), the system will simply create and save the activity within the project's Checklist. In this case, the process ends immediately, the task is added to the operational list, and no out ticket or warehouse QR code will be generated, returning the user directly to the workspace screen.

6. Module: Agenda (Calendar)

The Agenda module is the platform's time planning component. It functions as an interactive and centralized calendar that chronologically consolidates all milestones, key events, and deadlines of active projects in a standard monthly grid format.

The interface is composed of the following control and visualization elements:

9. Module: Task Center (Checklist)

The Task Center module (identified in the side menu as Checklist) works as the platform's global operational core. Unlike individual task lists found within each site's view, this module unifies and centralizes the activity status of all the organization's projects on a single screen, allowing administrators and operational directors to oversee general staff performance and immediately detect bottlenecks.

The interface is structured under the following components:

Centro de Tareas EdBuildSoft

General view of the global Task Center.

1. Task Control Metrics Panel (Global KPIs)

Located at the top of the module, it provides a numerical and cumulative summary of the company-wide workload:

  • Task Center (Main Counter): Next to the title is a blue indicator with the total volume of alerts or tasks that require priority attention (e.g. 20).
  • Total Tasks: Historical and cumulative amount of tasks registered on the platform (e.g. 50).
  • Pending: The total number of activities currently open or in the execution process by the field team (e.g. 20).
  • Completed: Quantifies how many tasks have been successfully finished and validated across all work fronts (e.g. 30).
  • Overdue: A critical counter in red that highlights tasks whose deadline has already passed and remain incomplete (e.g. 11).

2. Advanced Filtering Bar

Just below the metrics cards are quick segmentation tools:

  • Status Filters: Interactive buttons to narrow down the visual list according to audit needs: All (active by default), Pending, Completed, and Overdue.
  • Blueprint Filter (No Blueprint): A checkbox that, when activated, isolates and shows only the general tasks of the project, hiding those that are geolocated or anchored to a technical sheet in the interactive plans sub-module.

3. Task Portfolio by Project (Accordion Structure)

The central body of the screen organizes activities by grouping them by their respective site using expandable containers:

  • Project Header: Each row represents an active site. On the far right of each tab, the numerical progress ratio is shown along with a colored circle with the count of specific issues or delays for that front.
  • Internal Activities Breakdown: Clicking to expand a project reveals the list of its tasks with their individual properties:
    • Verification Status: Each task has a selection box on the left. If completed, it shows a green checkmark (☑) and the title crossed out; if still active, the box is empty.
    • Status Badge: On the far right of the task row, its status is ratified in uppercase (COMPLETED in green or OPEN in gray).
    • Support Counters: Icons below the title indicating the volume of attached files (clip icon) and the amount of comments registered in the assignment's log (message icon).
  • Internal Expansion Control (See more): At the base of the deployed project, this button allows you to cleanly load the rest of the site's secondary tasks without saturating the browser's visual performance.

10. Module: Inventory

The Inventory module provides the essential operational tools to supervise, audit, and control the physical flow of the organization's resources. Its unified architecture allows managing both the available stock in the warehouse and the requests for construction materials supply linked to field tasks.

The interface is segmented into four main control tabs that structure the material lifecycle:

1. Main Warehouse

This tab functions as the real-time active stock ledger. It displays an automated table with the breakdown of available stock and its accumulated financial value:

Almacén Principal EdBuildSoft

View of the Main Warehouse and stock control.

  • Search and Tools: It has a quick text search bar, a data export button (Export), and a cost sorting filter (Highest Cost).
  • Stock Control Columns:
    • Item / SKU: Identifies the supply's name and its unique catalog code (e.g. Nails CLVO-3000, Gray Cement CEM-0001).
    • Quantity: Quantifies the actual physical units stored in the warehouse (e.g. 52 units of Gray Cement).
    • Unit Cost: The base unit acquisition price of the material (e.g. $189.00).
    • Total Cost: The total financial value of the stock for that supply in the warehouse, calculated mathematically by applying the volume to its unit cost (Quantity x Unit Cost, e.g. $9,828.00 for the cement).
    • Unit of Measure: The standardized dispatch metric unit (e.g. Box, Piece, Square meter (m²), Liter (L)).

2. Pending Requests

This is the logistics area where the warehouse manager receives and processes the out tickets generated by the site supervisors:

Solicitudes Pendientes EdBuildSoft

Management of Pending Requests via QR scanning.

  • QR Code Scanner (Scan QR): A prominent button that activates the device's camera to directly scan the workers' out tickets, instantly locating the request in the list.
  • Order Dispatch Structure:
    • Project & Status: Details to which site the supplies will be assigned and shows the yellow PENDING status badge.
    • Requested Materials: Specifies the exact volume and type of supply requested (e.g. • 2 piece of Plaster or • 1 L of Gasoline).
    • Date: Records the date of the request.
    • Action (Dispatch Request): Main action button. When clicked, the storekeeper confirms the physical delivery, which automatically deducts the units from the global inventory in the Main Warehouse tab and moves the record to the history.

3. Dispatched History

A linear and blind audit trail record that stores all historically approved material exit movements of the organization:

Historial de Despachos EdBuildSoft

History of materials dispatched to projects.

  • Consumption Traceability: Transparently shows which project consumed the supplies (e.g. Juan Comercio, Bienestar de los mochis, Residencial Robles), what specific materials left the warehouse, the exact date of release, and the green final confirmation badge with the DISPATCHED status.

4. Material Master Catalog (Catalog)

This tab represents the reference database that feeds the entire system. Here, the fixed properties of the supplies are configured before physically entering the warehouse:

Catálogo Maestro EdBuildSoft

Material and supply Master Catalog.

  • Item: Name of the product accompanied by its technical description (e.g. 1/2 Rebar - Half-meter rebar).
  • Supplier: Allows linking and informatively recording the direct supplier or material house associated with the purchase of that supply (e.g. Madereria Chihuahua, Construrama).
  • Actions (Maintenance Controls): At the far right of each row, individual tools are integrated:
    • Pencil Icon: Opens the editor to correct names, SKU codes, units of measure, or update base unit costs.
    • Trash Icon: Permanently removes the item from the master catalog.
  • Global Registration Button (+): The floating blue button in the lower right corner opens the wizard to register a completely new product in the system.

11. Module: Reports

The Reports module is the analytical and informational core of the platform. Its main function is to unify operational performance, task progress, and portfolio status into consolidated metrics, offering an interactive wizard to export executive summaries and financial audits in formats compatible with external tools (PDF and Excel).

The interface and its structured download flows are broken down below:

1. Analytical Panel and Projects Preview

Upon entering the section, the system presents a statistical dashboard:

2. Advanced Segmentation Filters

Just below the title, a filter button bar is integrated to isolate alerts by their read status or originating module:

  • Read Status Filters:
    • All: (Default active filter in blue) Shows the complete alert history.
    • Unread: Isolates only the novelties that require the user's primary attention.
    • Read: Displays the historical record of already reviewed notifications.
  • Category Filters (Modules): Allows filtering messages according to the nature of the event to streamline the workflow:
    • Projects: Alerts about additions, removals, or structural changes in the sites.
    • Agenda: Reminders of upcoming events, meetings, or expiring milestones.
    • Checklist: Notifications strictly linked to assigned tasks, comments, or field logs.
    • Budget: Financial notices, readjustment alerts, or high expense records.

3. Integrated Alerts List (Notification Feed)

The main body presents the notices chronologically in independent blocks. Each card uses an icon code to identify the urgency of the message:

  • Critical Attention Alerts: (Red Warning Triangle Icon) Designed to notify severe delays or anomalies that impact the schedule (e.g. "Attention! You have 10 overdue task(s).").
  • Direct Assignment Alerts: (Blue Info Icon) Automated messages that notify the user when they have been appointed responsible for a new activity in the system (e.g. "You have been assigned the task: Task 5").
  • System Informational Alerts: (Gray Info Icon) Institutional notices about the life cycle of work fronts or detailed descriptions of field activities (e.g. "Project 'Bienestar de los mochis' status changed to: Completed").

4. Dynamic Pagination Control

  • "Load more notifications" Link: Located at the central base of the screen, this control allows the user to expand the alert feed downwards to audit or review an older history of interactions without needing to completely reload the page.

13. Module: Internal Chat (Messaging System)

The Internal Chat system is the instant communication and interaction tool integrated into the platform. Its objective is to centralize work team conversations directly in the system, allowing the coordination of site activities, resolving checklist doubts, and keeping a log of agreements without needing external messaging apps.

The interface is divided into two main sections:

Chat Interno EdBuildSoft

View of the messaging system and internal chat channels.

1. Channels and Contacts Panel (Left Sidebar)

This panel organizes the different communication environments available to the user:
