Construction ERP Software

Maximise business value before, during and after implementation with Platned IFS services.

The future of construction is digital

The construction and engineering industry is entering a new era of transformation. With 63% of firms planning to replace or adopt a new ERP system within the next one to two years, forward-thinking leaders are modernising legacy systems to stay competitive and profitable.

Technologies such as Industrial AI, Internet of Things (IoT) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) are reshaping project management, cost control and sustainability across the construction lifecycle. Integrated platforms like IFS Cloud unify data, automate repetitive work and give teams real-time insight across every asset, project and process.

Key industry pressures include:
  • Co-ordinating multiple subcontractors and avoiding scheduling conflicts.
  • Managing contracts, quality and risk across sites.
  • Allocating resources under tight deadlines and budgets.
  • Integrating siloed systems and data.
  • Protecting margins amid rising costs.
  • Meeting sustainability and regulatory commitments.

Building smarter: IFS solutions for the construction industry

Building future value with digital innovation

As infrastructure investment grows by an estimated trillions globally by 2030, leaders are looking for ways to harness AI, data and connected systems to deliver smarter, more resilient projects. ERP is no longer just about replacing legacy tools. It is now the backbone of digital transformation, supporting innovation in planning, execution and sustainability.

Five predictions shaping 2026

Prediction 1: Industrial ai, automation and robotics will surge

Leading firms will invest in industrial AI and automation to reduce manual effort and increase accuracy in mission-critical areas, from document processing to site robotics that enhance safety and efficiency. This accelerates operational work and improves forecasting across finance and delivery.

Prediction 2: “Digital workers” will reshape work

Automated digital workers take on high-volume, low-value tasks so teams can focus on strategy and delivery excellence. Functions such as operations insight, order management and field coordination can now be partially automated, lifting performance across project control and supply chain areas.

Prediction 3: Data consolidation will be the top IT priority

Investment will shift toward consolidating and improving data quality, governance and integration. AI success depends on reliable, unified data; ERP platforms play a central role in breaking down silos and enabling enterprise-wide visibility.

Prediction 4: Diversification will drive growth

Companies will diversify into adjacent services such as maintenance, modular construction and facilities management to create recurring revenue and improve margins. ERP platforms provide the unified foundation needed to manage multi-service operations efficiently.

Prediction 5: Decarbonisation will shape delivery and methods

More firms will commit to net-zero and sustainability targets, using digital tools like BIM and ERP insights to optimise designs, reduce waste and track carbon performance across projects.
