Complete project management in the cloud

The diversity in the GWW industry is very large, from road construction to landscaping, underground infrastructure and more. Digitalization is increasingly  a hot topic in this industry. Whereas in the past automation was seen mainly as a cost item, it is now increasingly a strategic pillar for making a difference. More and more infrastructure contractors are digitizing their processes to work smarter and more efficiently. 4PS supports these companies with both software and knowledge and speaks the language of the infrastructure industry.

In recent years, 4PS has spent a lot of time further enriching its software for the GWW industry. "Companies are increasingly willing to invest in software for complete project management. Sometimes of their own accord because they see its added value, but sometimes they are more or less forced by clients  who are placing increasingly high demands on contractors," observes Marcel van Noord of 4PS. "We regard the infrastructure sector as a strategic market and put a lot of time and energy into constantly enriching and specifying the software to match the needs even better."

4PS Construct is a beautiful, innovative solution that fits well with the practice in the GWW.

Specific infra solutions

4PS is based on Microsoft technology and therefore extremely familiar to most users. Van Noord: "No matter how large or complex projects are, our software provides a picture of each phase in the project. For simple and efficient tender management, planning, project monitoring and materials management, among other things. Some specific solutions for the infrastructure sector include Graphic Resource Planning and the integrated contract module (including for UAV-GC Contracts). The former to easily schedule people and equipment and the latter to monitor a multi-phase project in one overview. Once tasted the solution, there is really no turning back. In fact, people don't want to go back. Digitalization of operations offers so many more opportunities to run projects more efficiently. Because we combine state-of-the-art technology with industry expertise, we can make the difference for infrastructure companies."

More and more GWW companies are choosing Microsoft and 4PS' Cloud Platform.

Pay by use

Apart from on premise on local servers, there is a clear shift to the cloud in the world of automation and digitalization. "We too are following this trend and together with Microsoft are slowly but surely transforming to the cloud. More and more companies in the GWW are opting for the Cloud Platform of Microsoft and 4PS. The first implementations are already underway. A logical consequence," Van Noord believes. "After all, companies do not have to make upfront investments, but pay according to use. Thanks to a flexible licensing model, it is very easy to scale up and down. Especially for seasonal work, that can be of great added value, without incurring unnecessary costs. The cloud makes our application available 24/7. All that is needed is a device (laptop/tablet/phone) with an internet connection and a browser."
