Data Centre construction is one of the fastest growing — and most demanding — sectors in the global construction industry. Selecting an efficient Workforce Management Software is a key consideration for Contractors.
With tight schedules, high-spec build requirements, complex security protocols, and large multi-disciplinary workforces, managing projects of this scale brings a unique set of challenges for contractors.
