Powerful ERP software for the infrastructure sector

In terms of sustainability and digitalization, the GWW sector is changing considerably. In that light, InfraTech is the perfect event for professionals to discover the latest innovations. Especially now that companies are increasingly confronted with the requirements of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), which obliges to report detailed sustainability information. Especially for infrastructure companies that have to comply with these new legal regulations, BouwInfosys from Helvoirt offers the ideal solution with InfraWorks. This ERP software not only helps improve project management, but also ensures that the increasingly stringent sustainability and reporting requirements are met.

Infrastructure companies currently face many challenges. One of the biggest changes at the moment is the increasing emphasis on sustainability, both from the government and the market. A good example of this is the CO2 performance ladder, which allows companies to monitor and demonstrate their CO2 reduction efforts.

CSRD raises the bar

Another development that will have the necessary impact in infraland by 2025 is the advent of the CSRD. This directive requires companies to produce detailed sustainability reports and integrate them into the annual report. "The CSRD raises the bar in terms of transparency on environmental impact, social aspects and governance," says Arno Berwers, responsible for marketing & sales within BouwInfosys. "This has far-reaching consequences for entrepreneurs, also in the infrastructure sector. More than ever, they are obliged to integrate sustainability into their business operations and systematically and transparently report on their performance and improvements in this area. Now, in most tenders, as a company you have to be able to demonstrate that you operate sustainably and generate minimal CO2 emissions while working and using equipment and machinery. A structured approach and proper recording of this data is essential in this regard. With the introduction of the CSRD, more and more companies now also have to provide detailed reports on their impact on the environment and sustainability. So for the entrepreneur, the bar is raised even further." 

The solution 

To reduce such loads and achieve reliable CSRD reporting more efficiently, InfraWorks, the ERP software from BouwInfosys, is an absolute gamechanger for many infrastructure companies. The package offers a total solution for project management, from calculation and planning to execution and maintenance data. For example, the recording of sustainability data, including CO2 emissions, is seamlessly integrated into the daily work process. Moreover, InfraWorks helps companies meet the stricter requirements of the CSRD through automated reporting and structured recording of sustainability data. "Our innovative software has several powerful functionalities, including calculating a project's CO2 emissions," Arno explains. "This is done by calculating the specific CO2 emission values of equipment based on fuel type and consumption. But the CO2 values of materials used are also included. In this way, companies not only comply with the requirements of the CO2 performance ladder, they can at the same time actively manage the reduction of emissions and easily include this data in their mandatory sustainability reports under the CSRD."
