IT Challenges for Construction Companies We Help Overcome
Outdated Systems & Poor Integration
Many construction firms continue to rely on legacy software, creating operational bottlenecks and limiting scalability. Modernising IT systems without disrupting live projects is a critical challenge.
Akita delivers seamless system upgrades and integration services, ensuring minimal disruption and immediate operational benefits.
Growing Cyber Security Threats
Construction companies are increasingly targeted by cyber criminals seeking sensitive project and client information. Protecting data and ensuring operational resilience demands a proactive and robust security strategy.
Akita offers advanced cyber security services tailored to the construction sector, safeguarding your data, operations, and reputation against evolving threats.
Fragmented Data Across Departments
Disconnected data between site operations, finance, HR, and procurement departments hampers decision-making and reduces operational efficiency. Unifying systems to deliver a single source of truth is essential.
Akita designs and implements fully integrated IT solutions that centralise your data, improving collaboration and control across all areas of your business.
Supporting Mobile & Remote Workforces
With employees spread across multiple sites and remote locations, ensuring seamless, secure access to IT systems is vital. Mobile-first technologies are key to maintaining productivity and collaboration.
Akita provides secure cloud solutions and mobile IT infrastructures that keep your teams connected, productive, and compliant wherever they work.
Inefficient Project Management Systems
Poor visibility into project timelines, costs, and resource utilisation leads to delays and budget overruns. Construction firms must adopt real-time, integrated project management solutions to drive profitability and client satisfaction.
Akita implements cutting-edge project management solutions that offer real-time insights, empowering you to deliver projects on time and within budget.

Cloud Services For Construction
Construction is a mobile industry. Organisations often rely on a single or select few devices or hard drives that carry important information, and without those would come to a standstill.
Utilising cloud technology is the next step for construction organisations, allowing leaders to access information from anywhere with an internet connection and from any device.
This added flexibility means that issues are less likely to go unseen or be forgotten, which helps avoid costly delays. It also means that shared documents can be accessed simultaneously, speeding up and simplifying common processes between multiple teams or individuals.

Cyber Securty For Construction
Protect Your Operations & Win More Work
In construction, cyber security isn’t just a safeguard — it’s a necessity for compliance, insurance, and reputation. A data breach could mean lost revenue, regulatory penalties, and long-term damage to your standing in the industry.
Akita offers cyber security audits to ensure your systems meet the standards required — giving peace of mind that your business is protected and compliant.
Support With Accreditations
We help construction firms gain key certifications like Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance; improving security and unlocking new business opportunities.
With in-house Cyber Essentials assessors, we streamline the path to accreditation, helping you stand out in tenders and meet government contract requirements.

‘SITE IN A BOX’ IT SOLUTION
Working on a new construction site can be difficult when even the basic services, such as an internet connection, aren’t yet in place.
Akita’s Site In A Box solutions provide those in construction and adjacent industries with everything they need to get connected onsite. Tailored to your specifications, your box will typically include a 4G or 5G router, a hardware switch, wireless and outdoor access points and all the cables you’ll need to get connected. In effect, you’ll have your own site Wi-Fi packaged and ready to go to take with you wherever you need it.
Our hardware department can even supply you with rugged laptops or tablets designed to take the stress off a site if you anticipate that damage may occur to other hardware you own.
Digital Transformation
Business Applications For Construction
Not typically understood by those external to construction, but a strong grasp of data, analysis and finance is imperative to organisations’ success. Relevant and accurate data can improve the decision-making process and allow organisations to make the right choices, without wasting time considering options.
With organised data records, analysis can be pulled for metrics such as project potential. This will help to understand which jobs will be most profitable compared to the time they’ll take and therefore where efforts should be focused.
Additionally, a robust data record system can cover organisations if disputes occur. They provide a single source of truth to solve almost every type of altercation, whether that be between staff members or between the organisation and external partners.
Business Central can be used to manage wide areas of construction, ranging from sales and project oversight to complete finance and CIS management
SharePoint Online can also be used for many functions, starting with document management but swiftly moving on to asset management, project tracking, tendering and ESG requirements (read our blog here for more).
Meanwhile, tools such as Microsoft Power BI and Power Apps can be used to manage and simplify areas of operations such as HSE, site reporting and wider regulatory compliance.
