When margins are tight and pressure is high, construction leaders can’t afford sleepless nights

What’s keeping construction leaders up at night and how to take back control

Deadlines are slipping. Budgets are stretched. Teams are maxed out. If you’re leading a construction business today, there’s a good chance something is keeping you up at night. Materials arrive late. Skilled labor is hard to find. Critical updates fall through the cracks. Yet expectations remain the same: deliver on time, stay on budget, and never compromise on safety or quality.

At Platned, we work with construction firms across the US that face these same challenges. We understand the pressure of managing complex builds, staying compliant, and keeping every project on track. With construction-specific IFS Cloud™ solutions, strong project management, and ongoing support that continues beyond go-live, we help you take back control.

Keep projects on schedule, even when plans shift

Delays usually don’t come from one major issue. They build up through missed updates, unclear communication, or tasks that fall through the cracks. Platned helps bring clarity to construction management by implementing IFS Cloud™, giving you a complete view of timelines, roles, risks, and progress in one place.

When your team has access to real-time data, alignment happens faster. Managers can act sooner. Timely decision-making becomes easier and more confident. With everyone working from the same source of truth, project scope and planning become more accurate and execution becomes more efficient.

Gain control over costs before they spiral

Construction costs can rise quickly. Material price increases, labor shortages, and scope changes can all impact your bottom line. Platned helps you stay ahead of expenses using IFS Cloud™ to monitor procurement, workforce deployment, and contractor costs in real time.

With accurate budgeting and live cost visibility, your team can catch issues early and make smart choices to protect your margins. This is about more than just reducing spend. It’s about staying in control and ensuring the financial health of every project.

Get more from your team without adding pressure

The shrinking skilled labor pool is a growing challenge. Spreading limited workers across too many sites increases stress and reduces productivity. Platned helps you maximize output by minimizing admin, improving task handovers, and optimizing job scheduling.

We also help preserve critical knowledge. When experienced contractors retire, essential insights often disappear with them. Platned embeds best practices and structured documentation into IFS Cloud™ so teams work consistently, no matter who is on site.

Build in cash flow stability from the start

Even well-run projects can be derailed by poor cash flow. Payment delays and limited financial visibility can create major roadblocks. Platned equips your finance team with real-time dashboards and forecasting tools in IFS Cloud™ so they can track inflows and outflows and act early.

With better visibility and smarter forecasting, your projects stay on track without unexpected funding gaps. Financial decisions become more strategic and less reactive.

Put safety and compliance at the center of operations

Safety and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable in construction. A single overlooked risk or missed inspection can have serious consequences. Platned helps make safety part of daily routines by embedding it directly into workflows with IFS Cloud™.

With mobile inspections, real-time alerts, and automated compliance tracking, your teams stay protected and inspections are easier to manage. Safety becomes a culture, not just a checklist.

Manage changes with confidence, not fear

System changes often raise concerns. Even small updates can disrupt key processes. Mahara, Platned’s automated testing platform for IFS Cloud™, eliminates that worry.

Mahara runs your business-critical workflows in a test environment before any changes go live. Issues are flagged early so your operations stay unaffected. Whether you are applying patches or rolling out new features, you get peace of mind that your systems will keep running smoothly.

Streamline invoicing with automation

Construction projects involve high volumes of invoices from subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams. Manual processing creates delays and errors. ParsaAI, Platned’s intelligent document automation platform, solves this problem.

Integrated with IFS Cloud™, ParsaAI captures, validates, and routes invoices for approval automatically. Your finance team works faster and more accurately. Suppliers get paid on time, disputes are reduced, and budgets stay under control.

Support that scales with your business

Once your system is live, your business continues to grow and evolve. Platned’s Gateway support model gives you flexible access to expert help whenever you need it, without locking you into fixed contracts.

Using a token-based system, your team can request help with training, reports, configuration changes, or feature rollouts. Your IFS Cloud™ setup stays aligned with your business goals and supported by people who understand construction.

Build smarter, plan better, sleep easier

From design to final handover, Platned helps you manage cost, quality, safety, and scheduling with greater confidence. With construction-specific tools, strong project management, and expert support, you stay in control from start to finish. Whether the challenge is workforce planning, cash flow, compliance, or risk, we are here to help you build better.
