The Power of One

A Single Source of Truth

While implementing modern software and technologies are certainly beneficial for today’s contactors to keep pace with demand, they may not be realizing the true levels of efficiency if their technology strategy involves multiple, disparate solutions that don’t integrate well with each other. While each separate program may work well for its intended use (e.g. a back-office accounting system, a separate project management solution and multiple apps or tools for the field), without true integration between the systems that different departments rely on, each department will still find themselves siloed.

Sharing data between departments or teams would still rely on manual processes like spreadsheets and email, and data will often have to be rekeyed into systems of record. If there is an API connection between programs, that connection needs to be consistently monitored as changes to either software solution could break that connection. And even then, the way data is displayed or fields are often not the same between solutions, leading to more manual processes to reconcile — or costly customizations of one or both solutions.

Common construction enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms that combine functionalities in one package and use the same set of data throughout have helped dramatically to pull teams together in collaborative environments, but these can have limitations in terms of specific functionality that teams outside of the home office need. And, many of these programs are all-nothing, meaning that contractors are often paying for functionality they may not need in order to get the integrated tools they do. These systems trade the flexibility for contractors to build out technology stacks for their organization and scale as they grow for a more integrated experience.

So how can contractors get the best of both worlds?
