HCSS Announces Integration Capabilities with Microsoft Intune

Integration Allows Secure Management of HCSS Plans and Field Apps on Mobile Devices in Heavy Civil Construction Applications

SUGAR LAND, Texas — HCSS, the leading provider of software helping heavy civil construction businesses streamline their operations, is proud to announce that two of its core mobile applications, HCSS Plans and HCSS Field, are now fully integrated with Microsoft Intune. This inclusion enhances the management and security of HCSS applications on iOS devices for Intune customers, supporting compliance and secure device management for heavy civil construction teams.

Microsoft Intune, a leading provider of device and identity management solutions, allows businesses to securely manage apps, devices, and corporate data across multiple platforms. The integration of HCSS Plans and HCSS Field with Intune provides HCSS customers—especially those already utilizing or planning to adopt Intune—the ability to securely manage and install HCSS applications on mobile devices, ensuring that security policies and compliance standards are upheld. This integration brings significant value to HCSS customers, particularly IT teams, CIOs, and Information Security professionals, as they can now enforce data protection measures and ensure the safe use of HCSS apps across their organizations. HCSS’ Intune support adds a critical layer of security and operational efficiency in industries with stringent owner compliance requirements.

HCSS Plans is a collaborative app that offers construction teams seamless access to the latest project documents and revision control. It allows for real-time collaboration, enabling foremen, project managers, estimators, and executives to work with up-to-date information while syncing plan updates between the office and the field. The app also offers digital document management, allowing teams to store project documents such as permits, contracts, and shop drawings for easy access, even offline. With built-in calculators to determine volume and tonnage, the app enhances production accuracy and efficiency, while its real-time location services and photo documentation features allow for quick conflict resolution.

Additionally, HCSS Field is a mobile app that digitizes field operations by replacing paper-based processes. It simplifies time card management, job progress tracking, and safety reporting, enhancing on-site productivity and communication. The app’s project management features enable supervisors to approve time cards, analyze job performance, and plan production, while its safety management tools help crews conduct safety meetings, report hazards, and ensure compliance with OSHA standards.

Both apps integrate seamlessly with the broader HCSS suite, providing additional functionalities such as integration with HeavyBid for takeoff quantities and HeavyJob for production tracking.

For IT departments, Microsoft Intune’s integration with HCSS applications simplifies app management and provides enhanced visibility into compliance and security. Intune’s device management features enable IT professionals to secure HCSS applications while focusing on strategic initiatives rather than time-consuming device management tasks.
