Background

This well-established construction company had a strong physical presence but was held back by a poor internal software system.

Their internal software—responsible for everything from accounting and HR to daily job tracking—was inefficient and frustrating for both management and field teams.

Mission: Transform internal software to support both digital and on-site operations

Key Challenges

  • Hiring for Technical Roles: The existing dev team couldn't keep up with the business needs. They needed high-level developers to rebuild and scale their internal tool.
  • Operational Inefficiency: Poor software led to disorganized field operations, delayed projects, and manual errors in scheduling, warehouse tracking, and salary calculations.
  • Wasted Resources: Time and money were being lost daily due to misaligned processes and tool limitations.
  • Disconnected Physical + Digital Workflow: The construction teams were not integrated properly into the digital operations—causing confusion and delays.
