What will you do when prosperity hits? The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) shows current construction spending at its highest point since 2006, with many North American contractors seeing an impressive growth period in recent years. However, this surge of prosperity is no reason for contractors to slow down. Organizations running outdated tech are bound to fall behind in the midst of the industry’s rapidly growing competition. Only contractors with industry-leading technology will have the resources to survive when times get tough.
How can organizations prepare for future challenges without sacrificing the bottom line? Only with advanced construction management software that offers the following indispensable benefits:
1. 24-hour Cloud Access: Streamline collaboration to get the most out of your teams onsite and in-office. Access cloud data from anywhere and share with clients, architects and subcontractors in real-time.
2. Transparent Management: Be prepared for the unexpected with streamlined project reporting you can count on. Maintain a tight budget and firm schedule with standardized time sheets, repair costs, purchase orders and general reports from the field.
3. BYOD: Lower initial and ongoing onsite costs with “bring your own device” software. Cut your budget now and save money on temporary staffing when you need it.
4. Unified Security: With a single unified database, you won’t have to worry about the security of multiple standalone servers. Centralize secure data and restrict access to confidential information on a need-to-know basis using role-based dashboards.
These benefits “trim the fat” of unnecessary tasks and expenditures so contractors can operate at full efficiency no matter what the economic circumstances.
