Typical challenges in construction
Construction companies often deal with complex projects where costs, deadlines and resources converge. Without real-time insights, you quickly risk budget overruns and profit loss. Common questions include:
- Which projects are over budget, and why?
- How much margin do we actually retain at delivery?
- How efficiently are we deploying staff, equipment and subcontractors?
- How quickly can we detect deviations between estimates and actuals?
- Are projects meeting their milestones, or are there delays?
Our solution: insight and action
With the InsightData Apps, you gain full control over your projects and construction sites. We connect data from ERP, project management software and accounting into powerful dashboards.
- Project profitability: instant visibility of margin and profit per project or site
- Post-calculation: compare estimates and actuals for hours, costs and revenue—across projects
- Cost control: monitor material, labor and subcontractor expenses in detail
- Resource planning: insight into staff allocation and equipment availability
- Milestone tracking: follow project progress and deadlines
- Forecasting: predict future revenue and margins based on active offers and projects
This way, you make decisions based on facts, not assumptions.
