Adopting digital field management solutions is the way forward for those working in the construction industries.
āThe construction industry hasnāt always been the first to jump on the bandwagon with new tech. Many workers in the UK still prefer to stick to what they know: paper-based processes, accounting software and Microsoft Excel. Unfortunately, this lets inefficiencies creep in: double-handling, manual data entry, physical paperwork, lost/missing paper job cards, and so on. This way of working sucks up time that you canāt charge for and also opens up room for errors.ā
Inefficiencies mean more and more companies are adopting field management solutions and throwing out archaic paper-based or legacy systems. In fact, it is projected that in 2023 there will be a ā11% increase in software spend with strong demand expected across application development, enterprise applications and infrastructure.ā
