The Construction Industries We Serve

As the backbone of the construction industry, general contractors are tapped for their broad experience managing and delivering all aspects of a project—from concept to closeout. Because a GC’s core duties involve planning and allocating resources, managing budgets and schedules, and delivering projects profitably, running their financials and operations on a single ERP and field platform is essential to their success.

With project complexity, labor shortages, compliance requirements and construction litigation on the rise, reliably capturing and leveraging enterprise data with a single database becomes the foundation to achieve and sustain profitable growth while minimizing operational risks.

As deep experts in specific trades, specialty contractors must rely on capabilities that support their unique requirements in order to complete their self-performed jobs in the context of broader projects. Communications within their teams—but also with GCs and project owners—need to be streamlined, consistent and accurate to keep a diverse set of projects on track. In addition, all collaborative activities should be tracked and recorded to maintain complete transparency and control.

The right construction software platform will not only maximize productivity and efficiency but will ensure that all parties involved can be held accountable for project delivery that is on spec, on time and on budget.

Heavy/highway and civil infrastructure construction is one of the most challenging categories of work, not only due to the technical complexity of projects, but also resulting from a firm’s contractual agreements with federal, state or local governments. Tight operational controls are crucial to avoid the severe penalties that come with delays in delivery. Heavy/highway contractors without a tight handle on their financial forecasting, resource planning and other matters related to the timeliness and accuracy of completion may end up with a money-losing project or—worse yet—unlikely to receive any future government contracts.

With the right project and accounting controls, capturing and analyzing various costs for bidding and budgeting projects will help heavy/highway contractors ensure accuracy in their estimates. The reliability of estimates will also ensure that investors, lenders and other stakeholders will have confidence in the financial reports and, in turn, the success of the project.

From hospitality management companies to healthcare networks and from higher education institutions to government agencies, project owners in the private and public sectors rely on having complete visibility into the frequent changes that must be managed in a highly fluid construction environment. In addition, they need to keep costs under control, ensure uncompromised project delivery and manage all documents and data flawlessly across the lifecycle of every project.

Because project owners are accountable for fulfilling strict facilities requirements specified by different groups across their organization, they need an enterprise solution that cuts across functional departments and business units. With transparency across all aspects of a project, owners can make better-informed economic decisions and proactively share project status updates with all stakeholders and teams involved.
