MSite in the USA: Projects, partnerships and events

Our International Business Director Nick Wilkinson recently returned from his latest trip to the US with updates and enthusiasm for the future in abundance. He shares his reflections on recent activities, emphasising the importance of industry relationships and the potential of MSite solutions being rolled out on job sites from coast to coast.

Before flying out to Colorado for Procore Technologies’ exciting annual Groundbreak event in November, the MSite team and I were visited by US partner SES Integrators for a meeting at our headquarters in Liverpool.

We were joined by owner and founder Dan Gardner, as well as installation manager Jacob Dockery, to discuss best practice in technology adoption and installation. Expectedly, there are differences in processes across the US and UK construction industries, but the flexibility of our partnership with SES means that general contractors can benefit from the latest and greatest in access control and workforce management solutions. The visit has undoubtedly strengthened our relationship and increased the excitement we share over what’s next to come in our journey together.

Deputy sales director Adam Page and I then departed for Denver, where we exhibited at Groundbreak alongside another one of our US partners, Portable Solutions Group (PSG). Thousands of people across the construction and software industries flocked to Colorado Convention Centre to build meaningful connections, elevate knowledge and explore the latest innovations. Procore was able to extend an invitation as a result of our successful integration, which adds significant value to customers through enhanced project management and reporting.

Our conversations were focused on standardisation and compliance, with workforce tracking systems proving to be of great interest to general contractors working on multi-billion-dollar developments through to smaller value projects. It was acknowledged that workforce awareness and the integrity of data is vital in increasing delivery efficiency and overall success. Our US partners are enabling MSite solutions to be appreciated at scale, which is when they work best and can contribute to industry betterment. We are already following up on conversations from Groundbreak, having hosted many meetings and demonstrations resulting in business opportunities and a project pipeline from coast to coast.

Following Groundbreak, I visited PSG’s product showcase site in Kentucky, which is kitted out with high-quality access control and software solutions – including our biometric facial recognition system. I helped to deliver demonstrations to many interested customers, helping us to play our role in transforming workforce management in all areas of the US construction industry.
