Mobile Technology for Construction: Connect People, Projects, and Data with Dynamics 365
It's no secret the construction industry is one of the least digitized sectors. According to a report by the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, out of 22 industries, construction ranks second to last for digital adoption. For a sector where cost and schedule overruns are rampant and profitability can fluctuate, can you afford not to leverage the advantages digital transformation can provide? Construction companies often have employees working from job sites or hotels even more than in the office. A dispersed workforce doesn’t have to be difficult to coordinate or manage. You need the strong collaborative business management tools that will connect your people, projects, and processes from anywhere, on any device and at any time. The opportunity to provide project-related information to employees no matter where they are working by deploying a unified, centralized management solution can be a realization.
Skilled employees and contractors in the construction industry need current, reliable project information, which is difficult to get when they are working from the project site or after hours at the hotel. Calling the office to get information and searching through paperwork eats up valuable time, which could impact project budgets and frustrate customers.
