The Life of a Commodity: How PowerTrack Builds Complete Asset Records
Every piece of electrical infrastructure on a construction project has a story—from the moment it's designed on paper to when it generates real business value. PowerTrack captures this entire journey, creating a rich data record that transforms how contractors manage, track, and profit from their work.
Here's how a single commodity moves through its lifecycle:
1. Design
Asset is born in Engineering
The journey begins when engineering creates the asset specification:
- Type: 4" Conduit
- Length: 150'
- From: Main Dist
- To: Subpanel B
2. Logistics
PM organizes the work
Project management adds the context needed for execution:
- Labor Unit: 0.5 hr/ft
- Package: "Level 1 West"
- Crew: Foreman Mike
- Account Code: 200-05
3. Install
Field executes the work
The field team records execution in real-time:
- Status: Complete
- Date: Oct 12, 10:42am
- User: J. Smith (iPad)
- Reel ID: #R-5092
4. Verify
QA/QC validates quality
Quality assurance adds validation data:
- QA Check: Passed
- Test Type: Megger
- Result: >100MΩ
- Witness: Client Rep
5. Value
The Result
All that data unlocks real business outcomes:
- Payment Released
- Productivity Recorded
- Turnover Doc Generated
- Warranty Active
This end-to-end traceability means every asset carries its complete history—enabling faster payments, accurate productivity analysis, and seamless project turnover.
