Company says it will enhance security for mobile construction apps
HCSS, a provider of software solutions for the heavy civil construction industry, announces the integration of its core mobile applications, HCSS Plans and HCSS Field, with Microsoft Intune. This new capability is aimed at enhancing security and simplifying the management of mobile devices for teams working in the construction sector, especially those involved in large-scale civil projects.
With Microsoft Intune, a trusted provider of device and identity management, HCSS users can now securely manage their mobile applications on iOS devices. This integration ensures that companies can uphold stringent security policies, enabling seamless compliance with industry standards. For construction businesses that already use Intune or are considering adopting it, this partnership between HCSS and Microsoft offers IT teams improved control over device and data security, helping them enforce compliance protocols effectively.
The integration is particularly valuable for IT professionals, CIOs, and information security teams, who can now focus on higher-level tasks, while Microsoft Intune takes care of the secure deployment and monitoring of HCSS applications. The enhanced security features are crucial for construction businesses where data protection is vital to meeting compliance requirements from project owners.
Streamlining construction operations with HCSS apps
HCSS Plans and HCSS Field are essential tools for digitizing and streamlining operations in the heavy civil construction industry. HCSS Plans allows teams to access and collaborate on the latest project documents, ensuring that foremen, project managers, and field workers have real-time updates.
HCSS Field, on the other hand, simplifies on-site processes by replacing traditional paper workflows. Its time card management, job progress tracking, and safety reporting tools digitize field operations, improving productivity and communication. The app allows supervisors to approve time cards, manage safety meetings, report hazards, and track compliance with OSHA standards.
Both apps integrate smoothly with the wider HCSS software suite, including HeavyBid for estimating and HeavyJob for production tracking, providing a comprehensive solution for managing large construction projects.
Enhanced security for mobile devices
By integrating with Microsoft Intune, HCSS Plans and HCSS Field offer IT departments a powerful solution to manage app security across the entire organization. Intune’s device management features allow IT teams to monitor and secure company data on mobile devices, enforce security policies, and ensure compliance with industry standards—all while reducing the need for manual intervention.
The addition of Intune support also simplifies device management tasks, providing enhanced visibility into application usage and security across devices. IT professionals can remotely install and update HCSS apps, ensuring that users in the field always have access to the latest features and security patches, without the need for hands-on management.
New standard for mobile security in construction
With this integration, HCSS is setting a new standard for mobile app security and management in the heavy civil construction sector. The ability to securely manage devices and apps, combined with HCSS’s robust project and safety management tools, gives construction teams the confidence to operate more efficiently and safely on job sites. By leveraging Microsoft Intune, HCSS helps construction companies meet their operational needs while ensuring that data protection and compliance are prioritized.
