Attempting to optimize the performance of a construction project can be quite difficult, and this requires careful and efficient planning in order to meet deadlines and quality standards of contracted projects.

In order to meet the growing demands of the beneficiaries, all the activities of the teams in the construction companies need to become much more efficient. The most important step in achieving this goal is to follow construction projects in phases, subphases and activities, and SocrateERP for construction ensures the fluidity of operations, optimization of time and use of resources, much fewer errors, transparency and predictability.

Although Romania has one of the largest areas of agricultural land in Europe, we are in last place in the EU in terms of efficient use of agricultural land. Romania is also among the last countries in Europe in terms of digitalization and innovation in agriculture. The main reasons are the low level of understanding of the concept of digitalization and resistance to change. The use of digital technologies can have a positive impact on the quality of life in rural areas and can attract a younger generation to rural business investment initiatives.

We are always talking about automation and digitalization. No, they are not just fashionable terms or a trend, they are essential elements of the present times. When the internal work processes of a company do not have an automated flow, the information held is not centralized, or the number of errors increases, it is obvious that the option to implement a solution of resource planning and automation of daily activities must be considered.

As companies around the world invest in digital transformation, many are also taking advantage of software robots, an emerging technology that improves efficiency and helps employees focus on value-added work instead of tedious administrative or repetitive responsibilities. Process automation with software robots automates repetitive and manual activities, saving time, effort and headaches.

The pandemic context has further contributed to accelerating the digital transformation in the business environment. No industry has remained immune, and the construction sector is no exception to this rule. Although the adoption rate of digitalization in construction has been lower in recent years, and companies remain quite reluctant to change, since last year, we have noticed an increase in interest in software solutions, a trend that remains active today.

The future, especially of the field activity, will be carried out and monitored mainly with the help of cloud technologies and products, as well as mobile applications.

BITSoftware products and services support the Professional Services area and help companies with modern technical solutions, developed in the cloud, which know the API technology for various integrations, depending on the needs of the business.

Some time ago, I was doing a brief review of the main tasks and the role of the project manager in the construction area. Regardless of the type of construction project, whether we are talking about civil, commercial or industrial projects, the “reins” of the  project are in the hands of the project manager. He is the one who organizes, plans and coordinates the activities and resources on site, verifies and controls the construction works, ensures that he has at his disposal all the material, financial and human resources necessary for each stage of the project, ensures the training of subordinate staff. and ensure that technologies for the execution and operation and maintenance of equipment are complied with.

ERP solutions know changes and evolutions that are good to keep in mind, especially in the context of the speed with which new technologies are rapidly changing the world in which we live. This year we are counting on increasing the appetite and interest in SocrateERP, and not only, because the ERP system is the basis for the digital transformation that we are forced (or, to be gentler, encouraged) to do, especially in the context created by pandemic.

Let's take a look at some of the trends announced by Gartner that have begun to make their presence felt in recent years, but which will definitely define ERP solutions in the years to come.

At the beginning of the year, we set off with the desire and belief that it will be a dynamic and challenging year, but nothing announces the unprecedented situation and the new, uncertain and unpredictable context that the pandemic has created.

But even in these conditions, we have managed to lay the foundations for new partnerships, attracting customers who have understood the benefits of digitalization and why now is the time to look to the future and invest in complex and easy to manage cloud software solutions, which fully covers their needs to follow the activity and to anticipate and understand the obstacles they face.

In general, most businesses also have an online sales component. Although in recent years online commerce has seen a steady growth, with significant increases during the holidays and Black Friday, the pandemic has created the premises for a spectacular growth, which makes vital the existence of communication flows as fast as possible between each business and the courier services provider.
