"We now have a single system that all employees, joint venture partners and supply chain use. We overachieved our goal of doubling in size within 3 years and the scalability of Xpedeon has been fundamental in helping allow us to do this 2 years quicker than we expected."
David Bentley Commercial Director, JN Bentley
"I've seen how Xpedeon has transformed our business. We were struggling with disconnected systems across our departments - inventory, procurement, subcontracting, you name it. Xpedeon has made a noticeable difference for us. We're not fumbling in the dark anymore - we've got clear, up-to-date insights at our fingertips."
Mr. Nabil Raslan General Manager, Al Hussaini Automation
"There is visibility and transparency around what is happening on our project sites has improved by order of magnitude. We now clearly understand costs and liabilities live and in real-time. In the future, this will immensely help us deliver projects profitably and on time, and the elimination of the manual working will help us scale our business exponentially."
Mohammad Alawneh Head of Control Department, MAS ECC
"Construction best practices are in the DNA of Xpedeon and we have realised tremendous benefits by implementing Xpedeon processes to manage our projects. We have successfully rolled out the (CVR) process and are now in the process of rolling out activity-based costing. Our capacity to monitor the project's progress and cost has improved significantly because of Xpedeon."
Mansoor Ali Project Controls Manager, Amjaad Engineering & Contracting LLC
"Before Xpedeon, managing our operations felt like a constant uphill battle. Now, everything's connected, and I can check project costs or approvals instantly. Xpedeon has given us the control and speed we needed. We feel confident knowing that as we grow, Xpedeon will keep us running smoothly."
Feras Z. Al Akhras Chief Financial Officer, Diyar Al Manar
"The CVR came across as very straightforward, very quick to run and the reporting is clear and easy to understand. The Document Control, Tendering, and the ability to turn this straight into an order was also a highlight. This is far more efficient for surveyors and came across very well controlled with the right procedures in place that align with and ensure compliance with our QMS processes."
Emily Finance, Greencore Homes
"Visibility is improved tenfold. We can log on the system anywhere -whether on-site or in the office - and see what orders we've got, what payments have been lodged, and what variations have come in from the supply chain. Xpedeon worked with us every step of the way, and they've supported us through challenges. The customer and our needs are at the heart of what Xpedeon does."
James Dupey Senior Commercial Manager, Lovell Homes
