Integration
Also called: Software Integration, System Integration
The connection between two or more software systems that enables data to flow between them without manual intervention. Integrations can range from simple file exports to real-time API connections.
Why It Matters in Construction
Construction operations span multiple systems. Without integration, data is re-entered manually, creating delays, errors, and inconsistencies that compound across projects.
Common Examples
- Syncing approved change orders from the project management system to the accounting system.
- Pulling weather data into daily logs automatically.
- Connecting field time tracking to payroll processing.
