Sage has announced the launch of Sage for Specialty Contractors, an end-to-end native-cloud construction suite built to handle the complexities that specialty contractors face.
Targeting small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in the construction industry, Sage for Specialty Contractors aims to enable them to manage their businesses from preconstruction to closeout.
The cloud construction suite is poised to help them save time, avoid error-prone work, improve communication with field teams and make informed decisions with real-time data.
Sage for Specialty Contractors includes Construction Management for collaboration and mobility, with real-time access to project information so teams can stay in sync; Field Service Operations – designed for specialty contractors with service technicians (including HVAC, MEP, refrigeration, fire protection, security/ alarm); and Construction Financials – providing real-time insights into job costs, change orders and invoices.
“Specialty contractors have distinct needs and require software that can keep up with their demands across all phases of construction. At Sage, we’ve dedicated decades to understanding these nuances,” said Julie Adams, SVP of construction and real estate at Sage.
For example, Airstron, a HVAC contractor in Florida, has benefited from having an integrated solution built for specialty contractors by automating tasks that were previously completed manually, improving their productivity, level of service and cash flow.
“Sage solutions for operations and finance have transformed the way we work,” said Jamie Pascucci, operations manager at Airstron. “We’re able to be more efficient at every step, we have more insight into the profitability of our service business, and we have greater visibility into every aspect of our operation.”
Earlier this year, Sage launched two new suites, Sage for Accountants and Sage for Small Business, to transform how SMBs and accountancy companies operate and grow their business in the UK and Canada.
The suites combined Sage’s accounting, HR, payroll and business management tools into two solutions, built to meet the needs of accountants, bookkeepers and SMBs, helping them to be more efficient by freeing up time and boosting productivity.
