Even if your crew is using their phones, it’s unlikely that the data is stored in one, trusted hub. It’s probably sitting in an email inbox where it could be easily lost. Other construction businesses give software tools to their office employees but not to their construction crews. You don’t want to be on either end of this spectrum! Transformation can only happen when every employee has access to (and faithfully uses) your business tech. This lack of technology causes lag time, which means you aren’t getting important information when you actually need it. The less information you have, the slower your decision-making. The slower you move, the better chance your competitors have of taking your projects. When do I use real-time tech? There are so many applications for real-time technology in construction. Here are three main ways DTI clients use ECM apps to stay in touch: ## **1.** **Automation** Every second you wait for client approvals, vendor signatures, and schedule confirmations costcosts you money. ECM software automates manual processes, sending and gathering information in real-time. The system works automatically so you can enjoy better insights without the handholding. ## **2.** **Track data** Many ECM options include workflows for HR, legal, and accounting. Ditch the reams of paperwork and digitize your data. All of your information is in one central location, making it even easier to monitor every aspect of your business. ## **3.** **Communicate with field workers** A lot of construction companies still rely on phone calls from field workers for project updates. But that means you’re waiting hours between updates from your crew. A lot can happen in two hours, and that’s why you need real-time updates from your crew. This is a simple fix too! Your field workers can quickly update their progress using an app connected to your Enterprise Content Management software. As soon as they enter their information, DTI populates that data in your central hub. We can even include photos and forms to give your office workers richer information. Remember, your employees will have different skill levels with technology. That’s why you need to choose an intuitive platform that’s super simple to use. Your employees deserve real-time mobile solutions that improve efficiency. Stop waiting on paperwork, emails, and phone calls. Let the data come through automatically with enterprise content management solutions from DTI. ## **Also...** To learn about all of the trends that we are seeing where construction and digital information management meet click the button below and download whole paper for free: [![DOWNLOAD NOW](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3814151/a3c937d8-8145-4ac6-8b79-48a6d8144a3d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3814151/a3c937d8-8145-4ac6-8b79-48a6d8144a3d) [Construction](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/construction) [Content Management](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/content-management) [Document imaging](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/document-imaging) [Document Management](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/document-management) [Document Scanning](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/document-scanning) [software maintenance](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/software-maintenance) [Software Support](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/software-support) [Digital Transformation](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/digital-transformation) [VCM Replacement](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/vcm-replacement) Posted by [Ryan White](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/author/ryan-white) Leave a reply ### Posts by Topic - [Content Management (18)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/content-management) - [Construction (16)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/construction) - [ECM (14)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/ecm) - [Document Management (10)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/document-management) - [Digital Transformation (8)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/digital-transformation) - [Document Scanning (8)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/document-scanning) - [AP Automation (7)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/ap-automation) - [Software Support (6)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/software-support) - [DTI (5)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/dti) - [Document imaging (5)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/document-imaging) - [VCM Replacement (5)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/vcm-replacement) - [software maintenance (5)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/software-maintenance) - [Accounts Payable (4)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/accounts-payable) - [Invoice Processing (4)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/invoice-processing) - [RPA (4)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/rpa) - [Uncategorized (3)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/uncategorized) - [Accounts Payable Workflow Automation (2)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/accounts-payable-workflow-automation) - [Business process optimization (2)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/business-process-optimization) - [IT Sprawl (2)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/it-sprawl) - [Manufacturing (2)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/manufacturing) - [Payment Automation (2)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/payment-automation) - [Case Study (1)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/case-study) - [Compass (1)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/compass) - [Compliance (1)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/compliance) - [E-Forms (1)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/e-forms) - [Kofax (1)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/kofax) - [Manufacturing Shop (1)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/manufacturing-shop) - [Manufacturing Shop Floor Collections (1)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/manufacturing-shop-floor-collections) - [Mobility (1)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/mobility) - [maintenance contracts (1)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/maintenance-contracts) - [robotic process automation (1)](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/tag/robotic-process-automation) [See all](https://www.dtiibs.com/blog/transforming-your-constructions-business-part-4#) ### Who we are DTI delivers customized Document Management Solutions that manage the complete life cycle of paper-intensive business processes.
