If you’re managing construction projects, infrastructure builds, or large-scale renovations in Canada, you know the reality: paper-based workflows slow everything down. Site supervisors spend hours filling out forms by hand, project managers chase missing signatures, and office teams wait days for data.
The result? Delayed decisions, blown budgets, and increased risk.
