SmartCraft ASA (SMCRT) – Finnish construction industry: Digitalization boosts productivity and improves control
1 July 2024: Digital tools are becoming increasingly integrated into the construction industry's daily operations. The most common reasons for using specialized software in the construction industry are to save time, increase efficiency, and improve control. One third of companies plan to increase their investments in digital tools. These are key findings in SmartCraft’s Digimeter Finland 2024 survey.
The report shows that even though a significant share of construction companies has started using digital tools for various back-office work processes, there is significant room for increased digitalization out in the field. This even applies for processes such as customer management, offers handling, calculations, time management, and project management.
“We know that efficient and tailored tools can improve profitability, control and upsell opportunities for craftsmen out in the field. Therefore, it is striking to see that such a vast number of tasks are being solved by general tools like Excel or Word out in the field. The findings correspond well with our formerly published reports from Sweden, confirming that best-of-breed software will continue to play a vital role in improving the business and making life easier for construction companies and their employees going forward,” said CEO of SmartCraft Gustav Line.
