improve collaboration

Together, collaboration and rework equate to 40% of engineering time, nearly as much as engineers spend on actual design work.

Collaboration include activities such as searching for data worked on by others, preparing design data for others and answering questions. Much of this time could be reduced with better collaboration tools or methods.
Rework is often a consequence of design errors and mistakes. Errors can be due to designing with outdated information which has been caused by poor collaboration. Engineers work with outdated data 28% of the time. 
Lack of real-time collaboration and synced data results in rework, delays, and errors. This business impact is seen in many areas.

And going forward, it is anticipated that 43% of engineering work will be done remotely. This will create even more risk for outdated information. Engineers need new ways of working.

CalcTree streamlines teamwork with collaborative workspaces that handle different calculation languages, providing everyone access to real-time data.Here is a list of features in CalcTree that improves team collaboration:
Cloud environment, making it easier for the time poor to contribute and provide guidance. Managers can jump in and 'peek under the hood' of designs whenever suits them and provide input on work. This method of work called "async working", where tasks do not require all participants to be engaged at the same time, is enabled by our cloud environment and increasingly important in a remote world.

Your calculation workspace on a web browser
Real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work on a page at once with live updates to the page. [Coming soon 2024]
﻿
Teams can collaborate together in real-time
Collaborative commenting, allowing team members to assign tasks and provide feedback directly to a page, much like Google Docs. [Coming soon 2024]
﻿
Finetune a calculation with collaborative commenting
Support for different calculation languages, where CalcTree brings Python, spreadsheets and Maths.JS calculations into one centralised place. No matter the programming ability of your team, everyone can collaborate on a design using their tool of choice. 
﻿
Calculation powered by Python, spreadsheets and Maths.JS
API integration, allowing team members to take values from each other's calculation and plug them into a 3rd party app of choice. A digital enthusiast can call on the bending capacity value from a page in CalcTree and perform an additional combined bending and axial check in their Grasshopper or Python script via the API.
﻿
Add the 'API integration' and use the Page ID to send a request
Share pages with stakeholders, that are easily accessed from any internet browser via a web link. Internal stakeholders or other team members can see updates in real-time and provide comments directly. You no longer need to continually resend your team updates, there is one single source of truth. 
﻿
Share pages via a web link to be accessed anywhere
Print pages in one click so calculations and reports can be easily shared with stakeholders. CalcTree is based on the concept of 'pages', which allows you to set your calculation up as both a web app and as your ready-to-deliver project document. 
﻿
Print design reports in one click
Mobile responsive pages, meaning our web pages automatically adjust layout to provide an optimal viewing experience across a variety of devices including smartphones and tablets. You can check designs on the go, during site inspections or at external meetings.
