Margins in the infrastructure sector are under enormous pressure. For civil engineering companies, it is important to be able to work efficiently, quickly, and safely, with optimal insight into operational processes at all times. Most software is not equipped for this. Meet Cleverdesk, the ultimate project tool for civil engineering companies, developed based on the latest technology and according to a mobile-first philosophy.
“Cleverdesk is essentially an online portal for civil engineering companies,” explains Overeem. “It is a digital registration platform that brings together all operational processes with integrated planning and project management for people and equipment. Cleverdesk is therefore very much focused on digitizing operational processes, in fact everything that falls outside the scope of the financial package. This includes processes on the construction site, but also time registration, safety, and the quality of people and equipment. The platform is based on the latest technology and does not suffer from the ‘slowing down’ effect of many old legacy software systems.”

Overeem observes a clear trend among many civil engineering companies. “The new generation in particular, which is now gradually taking over the reins at many companies, recognizes the need for digital transformation. They don't want to miss the boat and are increasingly looking beyond their familiar software systems, which they have relied on for many years but which no longer offer the desired flexibility. Cleverdesk, on the other hand, is based on the latest technology and available as a SaaS model. This means that all users always benefit from the latest technology, updates are usually implemented automatically, and the online portal requires minimal implementation. The software is up and running within a day and can be further customized and expanded according to your own insights and preferences. It's just a matter of activating modules. If you prefer to run Cleverdesk on-premise (i.e., from your own server), we also offer that service.”
Incidentally, the word ‘desk’ in Cleverdesk does not fully cover the scope of the platform. “Through the exchange of knowledge and ideas with our customers, our platform is constantly evolving. The latest version of our portal is therefore being developed according to a mobile-first technology,” says Overeem. “After all, mobile devices are becoming increasingly important. With our latest release—Cleverdesk 4, which will be available in early 2021—the app on your smartphone or tablet will offer virtually the same functionality as the desktop program. We are also focusing more on links with IoT modules, and the dashboards will become even smarter and clearer. Meeting your CO2-Finally, Cleverdesk also supports the performance ladder, for example by minimizing movements.”
