Digital Transformation Strategies
HCM uses real-time construction site data, such as worker location, changes in terrain, equipment location, and operational status, to improve safety and productivity at a construction site. The company analyzes data collected by equipment and sensing systems to identify risks at construction sites, and then it shares those results among shareholders to improve worker safety. The company also collects and analyzes weather forecasts and other external information to prepare contingency plans. In 2024, HCM collaborated with ShareMat, a provider of software and fleet management systems for construction equipment, to introduce cutting-edge telematics services for HCM Europe (HCME) equipment that improve the operations and monitoring of construction machinery in the region. The company is also leveraging Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations in functions including streamlining operations, enhancing visibility, automating service maintenance, and tracking equipment, among others.
