What’s New at Linarc: Clearer Control Starts Here

Setting the Pace: Linarc’s January Release

January brings clarity. The calendar resets, expectations sharpen, and the work ahead demands discipline and resolve. In construction, new challenges aren’t setbacks, they’re signals of progress. Strong foundations aren’t built in calm conditions; they’re built by teams willing to adapt, endure, and lead.

At Linarc, we see every challenge as an opportunity to build smarter. This month’s release reflects that belief, with updates focused on control, speed, and visibility for contractors managing increasingly complex work.

This month's releases are designed to remove friction, shorten timelines, and give teams confidence in the decisions they make every day. Location-Based Contract & Budget Setup brings clearer cost visibility from day one, while Parallel Review Workflows eliminate approval delays without sacrificing accountability. Indent Controls for Schedule Hierarchies make planning faster and easier to maintain, and Visual Folder & File Identification in Drive improves document navigation at a glance. Across the platform, Column-Based Sorting gives teams cleaner, more actionable data views.

Together, these enhancements reduce costly delays, reinforce accountability, and deliver sharper insights into costs, progress, and performance without adding complexity. They are practical, field-tested improvements shaped by how contractors actually work on-site, in the office, and under real-world industry pressure.

New Product Features: Enhancing Efficiency Across the Board

1. Location-Based Contract & Budget Setup for Standalone Contractors

Allocate contract values by location and building level from the outset for precise, transparent cost control.

• Contract-Driven Budgeting: Automatically convert contract line items into structured budget line items.
• Location-Centric Cost Allocation: Distribute contract values across floors, zones, and building locations for accurate tracking and reporting.
• Automated Progress Billing: Generate period-based pay applications directly from approved work completion percentages.

With location-level budgeting built in, Linarc ensures better visibility, tighter cost control, and smoother financial workflows throughout the project.

2. Parallel Review Workflows for Faster Document Approvals

Accelerate document reviews and approvals by routing items to multiple stakeholders simultaneously—without losing visibility or control.

• Company-Level Standardization: Create reusable workflow templates and apply them consistently across projects.
• Parallel Review Routing: Send documents to multiple reviewers or approvers at the same time to eliminate sequential delays.
• Controlled Workflow Progression: Automatically advance items once all required responses are completed.

By combining parallel routing with standardized workflows, Linarc shortens review cycles while maintaining accountability and auditability.

3. Faster Schedule Hierarchy Building with Indent Controls

Create and organize schedule task hierarchies quickly using simple right and left indent actions in the schedule grid.

• Flexible Task Entry: Add tasks sequentially or insert new line items directly within the schedule grid.
• Right Indent for Subtasks: Use right indent to assign a task as a child of an existing parent item.
• Left Indent for Task Promotion: Use left indent to promote a task to a parent or root-level activity.

With intuitive indent controls, Linarc makes schedule structuring faster, clearer, and easier to maintain.

4. Visual Folder & File Identification in Drive

Quickly understand your Drive structure at a glance with clear visual indicators for folders and files.

• Instant Recognition: Folder and file icons make it easy to identify item types within the tree view.
• Faster Navigation: Reduce guesswork and move through complex folder structures more efficiently.

This visual enhancement improves clarity and speeds up document navigation across Drive screens.

5. Column-Based Sorting Across All Tables

Easily organize and analyze data by sorting rows directly within any grid or table across the platform.

• Flexible Sorting Options: Sort rows in ascending or descending alphanumeric order for any selected column.
• Improved Data Clarity: Quickly surface relevant information and make tables easier to scan and understand.

This enhancement gives users greater control over how data is viewed throughout the platform.
