Key Takeaways

Connect your systems using the API

Thinkproject Contracts (formerly CEMAR) has an API function that lets you draw data directly into Gather. Use it to pull compensation events into your record management system and tag shift records against them. No manual data entry, no silos, no duplication.

Tag records against compensation events

When you capture a shift record in Gather, you can tag it against a specific compensation event from Thinkproject. If a storm delayed your works, select that event, tag the record, and save. The link is now visible in both systems. Traceability without the admin.

Real time visibility for site and commercial teams

Once connected, anyone reviewing the project can see both the operational record and the contractual event in one place. Site teams capture what happened. Commercial teams see the substantiation. No chasing files, no stitching spreadsheets, no surprises at month end.

Faster decisions, better commercial outcomes

Integrating your record and contract management systems means you're not waiting until a dispute to find evidence. You're building the story as the project unfolds. When it's time to submit a quotation or defend an assessment, the records are already linked and ready.

Session Transcript

Introduction

Hi, it's Will from Gather. Today, we're talking about how to integrate your contract management system with your record management system. This short walkthrough shows exactly how Gather and Thinkproject can work together to make project documentation and compensation events fully connected.

Introducing the contract management platform

You may be one of the 10,000 people using the world renowned contract management software CEMAR, now known as Thinkproject Contracts. In this video, I'll show you how to connect that system with Gather using their API function.

Inside Thinkproject

Inside the Thinkproject platform, we've created some example compensation events to demonstrate how integration works. As the Employer, I can start to draw down those events into my Gather record management system.

Switching to Gather

If I navigate over to Gather and go into Shift Records, you can see I've got a few records in this demo environment. Using the API, I can draw down data and bring it in as tags that relate directly to Thinkproject compensation events.

Creating linked records

For instance, this particular issue was caused by a storm weather event. I can select that issue, tag it appropriately, and save it against the corresponding record. This links the record in Gather directly to the compensation event in Thinkproject.

Reviewing the integration

Now my compensation event in Thinkproject is connected to my project record in Gather. It's visible, traceable, and fully aligned. Anyone reviewing the project can now see both the operational record and the contractual event in one place.

Summary and next steps

And that's it. Simple, fast, and connected. Use the Thinkproject API to associate your Gather records with your contract management system. Explore how this integration can save time, reduce admin, and improve commercial visibility.

Final thoughts

So, give it a try. Explore the API function available in Thinkproject and see how easily you can connect your Gather records with your contract management system. If you already manage shift records or site diaries in Gather, this integration will help you keep your commercial data perfectly aligned.

Why it matters

Integrating your record management and contract management systems ensures real time visibility between site and commercial teams, better traceability of contractual events, and faster, data driven decision making.
