Construction companies

Intelligent solutions for construction companies

Software and intelligent solutions for the construction sectorRecently we’re been working with some of the biggest construction companies in the UK. People with turnover measured in billions, not millions. Although they’re a little shy of naming themselves just now, they recognised that a smaller (compared to them!), dynamic company like Progressive had something truly special to offer.

They came to us because they knew we could we offered the responsive service and deep technology-expertise they couldn’t always get from their in-house IT people. These construction companies haven’t come to us to buy our core bisTrack product, but instead see us as systems integrators, providing the IT glue that binds together existing islands of technology.

It’s an exciting market for us, and an arena we’re looking forward to doing more in. One thing’s guaranteed, no two of these projects are ever alike.
