COMMON PAINPOINTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY 

Problem 1: In the construction industry, it’s common to be jumping around several jobsites. With employees working across many projects, and even various states, it can be challenging to work efficiently and productively. This means programs, documents and information are not always at your finger tips, causing delays or a decrease in productivity.  By nature of construction sites having disconnected environments, it also means security can be sacrificed if not handled properly. This is especially true for scenarios where employees remote in which can put your sensitive information at greater risk. The average cost per stolen record is $150.  Can you afford for your database to be breached and could your business financially recover?

Problem 2: Job site materials are constantly subject to theft and vandalism. Projects have expensive machinery, tools, lumber and additional building materials onsite around the clock. Any damage or theft can leave you with significant financial implications, delays and frustrated clients.
