Mobile analytics makes advanced data easily accessible, editable and shareable on virtually any mobile device in real time, regardless of location.

As the data revolution in construction continues, paper reports, spreadsheets and outdated software are quickly becoming things of the past.

Trimble Viewpoint dispel the negative connotations surrounding cloud-based construction management migration and point out the benefits of moving your data to the cloud

Although the pandemic highlighted operational and technology shortcomings for many construction businesses, Haugland Group’s investment in technology before the pandemic played a critical role in successfully completing this project. In 2019, Haugland Group began using Viewpoint Team, a cloud-based collaboration solution that connects back office and field operations with its extended team of subcontractors, suppliers, architects, and owners.
