As the construction industry continues to digitize I find myself wanting to demystify the term because it’s such a broad term and can mean whatever you want it to mean; from converting hard copy to soft copy to optimizing, standardizing, and integrating an entire business process from start to finish.

Where does digitization start and where does it end and what all does it include?

As someone who’s been evangelizing about it for a very long time, I believe each company decides that for itself and also decides the pace at which to digitize. That’s why I built my product to cover the entire project process but stay both modular and scalable and most importantly remain flexible enough to keep pace with a changing economy and workforce.

The latest version of my product is a digital platform built around a robust information management engine that can be implemented as is (ie as an EDMS) or scaled up to include modules for the rest of the construction management process like procurement, construction, resources, safety, risk and quality management, and all with minimal disruption to the company’s work culture. My priority now is communicate this to my market – to reassure them that ‘digitization’ is not some vague business idea but a precise technical one. And that we, at Wrench, have cracked it.

Just ask our customers.
