- Secure access to drawings and project files
- Protection against invoice and payment fraud
- Phones that follow your team into the field
- Cameras and access control for yards and offices
The challenge
Where construction IT gets complicated
Teams in the field
Superintendents, estimators and crews need the same information as the office, from trailers, trucks and sites with patchy coverage.
Huge project files
Drawings, models and photo logs are large, constantly revised and easy to lose track of without a clear system.
Payment fraud
Criminals impersonate suppliers and subcontractors to redirect progress payments to fraudulent bank accounts.
Seasonal hiring
Staff and devices come and go with the work, and accounts need to be set up and shut down quickly.
Many systems
Estimating, project management, accounting and payroll tools all need to work together and stay secure.
Site and yard security
Equipment and materials are expensive targets, and you need to know what’s happening after hours.
Field and office
Keeping the field and the office in sync
We standardize the tablets, laptops and phones your crews use, then manage them centrally. Every device gets security updates, the right apps and access to the files it needs, and can be locked or wiped remotely if it goes missing on site.
Project documents move to secure cloud storage with version control, so everyone works from the latest drawing set. In the office, we look after the network, printers and plotters, and the accounting systems that keep cash flowing.

Frequently asked questions
Can you help us get internet at a job site?
Yes. We help you choose and set up connectivity for site trailers and temporary offices, then secure it so devices on site are protected. For permanent offices and yards, dedicated business fibre may be available.
How do we stop fake invoices and changed banking details?
We filter impersonation emails, protect your mailboxes with multi-factor authentication and train staff to spot payment scams. We also recommend a simple rule: confirm any change in banking details by calling a known phone number.
Can field staff use their own phones?
Yes. We can protect company email and files on personal phones with app-level security, so business data stays secure and can be removed when someone leaves, without touching their personal photos or apps.
Can we check our yard cameras from our phone?
Yes. Our security camera systems let you view live video and recordings from anywhere, with motion alerts after hours.
How quickly can you set up a new hire or a new site?
Because devices and accounts follow a standard setup, new staff and new job sites can be brought online quickly. Let us know ahead of a busy season and we’ll have devices prepared and ready to hand out.
Do you support estimating and project management software?
We support the devices, accounts, network and access your software relies on, and work with your software vendors when problems sit inside the application itself.
