The construction industry is increasingly pressured, but also encouraged, to adopt new digital tools. The construction market is at a key moment caused by the increase in the prices of raw materials, the lack of qualified labor in the field, but also the continuous adaptation to the sustainability requirements that companies must meet. Digital transformation and automation in construction are the first steps that the construction industry must take as quickly as possible.
Why pressed? Because digital transformation is increasingly mentioned among the factors aimed at increasing the competitiveness of organizations and maintaining profitability in the construction industry. Companies that decide to go through the digital transformation process do so for several reasons, the most common of which is related to the need to remain competitive in the market, and the use of software solutions dedicated to the construction industry makes it possible. Software solutions dedicated to the industry also manage to solve challenges that are increasing, related to supply, the most correct use of resources, as well as those related to the lack of specialized personnel.
How is the prioritization and acceleration of adoption of digital tools encouraged? The European Union makes available to interested companies non-reimbursable European funds for the digitization of the activity on the construction site. We are talking about two measures, namely POC 4.1.1.bis - funds for technology and digitalization and PNRR C9 - the SME digitization program.
A study carried out by Valoria in partnership with doingbusiness.ro shows that the main benefits that the digitization process brings to construction companies are the increase in operational efficiency (67%) and the reduction of costs (56%). Another report published by Euroconstruct, the European leader in forecasting the construction market, concludes that the wider adoption of ERP, CRM or Project Management software solutions is becoming more widespread, and for the years to come, their use will will intensify.
For over 29 years, BITSoftware has been the expert in ERP, CRM, BI and WMS solutions, with implementations in over 300 companies, both in Romania and abroad.
