Construction Accelerator
An industry firmly in the midst of a digital revolution, the construction sector is embracing the benefits of modern solutions to digitise critical business processes at scale, across remote and disparate sites. Traditionally a paper intensive industry, construction is exploring the power of cloud-based digitisation tools and has seen an increase in efficiency, transparency and speed in this sector.
The FlowForma Construction Process Accelerator offers ready-to-use, editable, process templates for digitising common construction processes. It features process templates for addressing tasks such as field change requests, concrete pre-pour check sheets, labour requisitions, materials requisitions, hot work permits, safety observations and so on.
The Construction Accelerator's caching functionality empowers remote workers across multiple sites, often in isolated or underground locations, providing them with the ability to work offline and later upload information when in range of an online connection.
