Document management for the construction industry: Be-Sync Information Portal

Your company accumulates quite a few documents for projects and service locations. It is important that colleagues and chain partners can find the right documents quickly. This is not always easy, because documents are either in 4PS Construct, or somewhere in Microsoft SharePoint Online. Well-thought out document management software for the construction industry can make life a lot easier. You can bring all relevant documents together in a project or service location website with our Be-Sync Information Portal (BIP). Safe, secure, always up to date, and 100% paperless!

This can be achieved with a document management software solution tailored to the construction industry. This will ensure that your colleagues do not work with outdated information.

  • Manage your projects and services

    BIP integrates documents for projects or service locations created in 4PS Construct, in a structured manner, in one central environment in SharePoint Online. This creates one central location where you can find all project and service location info.

  • Manage your projects and services

    Record an unambiguous project or service location documents structure in a template. These templates are the basis of your SharePoint Online environments. BIP uses subsites (main folders or project phases) and libraries (file folders).

  • Flexible and simple setup

    You can set up a SharePoint Online environment for your projects or service locations based on self-defined templates with a few clicks. User roles, security and permissions for documents are recorded in these templates.

Exchange information more efficiently with chain partners

You exchange info between colleagues and chain partners in construction, civil engineering or installation work all the time. But how can you give your partners safe access to your 4PS Construct documents? How can you be sure that everyone uses the latest construction drawings? By using document management software especially designed for construction companies. BIP makes it easy for you to create websites for project or service locations with predefined templates. You determine who gets access to what, and this way you control your projects and service locations.

Share information of projects and service locations with chain partners

  • Add chain partners to your projects or service locations

    It is easy to add chain partners to your project or service locations in SharePoint Online with BIP. Security and access rights can be set up in the self-defined templates.

  • Keep in control of your data

    In BIP you define what document libraries your chain partners may view, edit or add to. This is how you manage your documents, and chain partners can only see the information that is relevant to them.

  • Central location makes for one truth

    Documents created in 4PS Construct are visible in the Microsoft SharePoint Online site at once, thanks to BIP. Did a chain partner add a new construction drawing to your project site?  You can see it at once in 4PS Construct. There is one version of the truth, and nobody needs to work with outdated information.

How does the Be-Sync Information Portal work?

BIP is document management software especially designed for construction companies. You most likely already work with Microsoft 365, and besides the well-known Office packages you probably use Microsoft SharePoint Online to store, secure and share documents in your organisation. The Be-Sync Information Portal makes good use of the extensive functionalities of the Microsoft SharePoint Online platform. Based on predefined templates, you can quickly put a complete project or service location SharePoint environment online in which you can gather all documents. You determine who gets access to this environment, and what info they may view and edit. This makes for quick and simple collaboration with colleagues and chain partners! When you use BIP, you no longer need to invest in separate document management software, or consider integrations with your ERP, 4PS Construct.

Documents from 4PS Construct and software like Office 365 or CAD software, are combined in one project or service location in SharePoint Online. This makes for quick and simple sharing of information with colleagues and chain partners. All stakeholders can always access the right information from any device. Thanks to the document management software for the construction sector that is integrated with 4PS Construct, you always have just one version of the truth. This is so much more efficient, and prevents errors due to incorrect or outdated information. Are you ready for easier and more intelligent document management? Time for BIP!
