Martinus, Australia’s largest privately owned rail infrastructure company, is adopting Access COINS ERP software across its operations in Australia, New Zealand, North and South America, and other international projects. Industrial and commercial construction market leader CIP Constructions Group, and well-established, innovative civil construction and mining services contractor, RJV, are also new customers.  

Martinus Chief Operating Officer Ryan Baden says COINS will provide a fundamental business management system across its multinational entities to assist with operational consistency and reporting.  

"COINS will allow the Martinus business to standardise operational processes and consolidate data across global business units – a key factor in the evolution of the company,”

CIP Constructions General Manager Operations Paul Ledger says CIP Constructions has experienced significant growth in the last three years with operations across five states, and now requires a more up-to-date and integrated project management and finance system.   

“After experience with other large construction management systems, COINS offers the best system to improve our project, financial and operational management. The COINS team worked closely with CIP during the analysis and scoping period, and we are looking forward to a long and successful partnership.”

Having recently been acquired by The Access Group, COINS is building on success to support construction companies in transforming operations and improving productivity.

General Manager, Construction, at The Access Group, Alex Boury says all stakeholders will benefit from the COINS acquisition, with the deal another outstanding example of the Group’s successful acquisition programme.  

“We see a huge opportunity to further extend the uptake of the COINS software in Australia, particularly right now within civil and commercial construction,” Boury says.  

“Construction companies are increasingly relying on technology to successfully operate in such a complex industry laden with compliance obligations.

“COINS is specifically developed for construction companies to manage their unique processes, providing peace of mind that they are in control over all core aspects of their business.”

- Alex Boury, General Manager, Construction, The Access Group

The acquired company, now known as Access COINS, has seen a 20% year-on-year growth in new customers for COINS since 2019, and a doubling of revenue.  

This comes despite the COVID-19 pandemic and local construction industry challenges.  

With eight new customer signings in 2023, Access COINS is seeing strong and sustained increase in business growth.  

The Access Group Head of Construction APAC, Jim Farrer says both current and future customers of the business will reap the benefits of The Access Group acquisition.  

“COINS now sits in a much broader ecosystem of software provided by a global company with its own suite of innovative technologies like Access Workspace – a single go-to point for end users,” Farrer says.  

“The Access Group is a company that operates at scale, with a depth of expertise trusted by many industries.   

“Management and investors of The Access Group saw huge potential in the COINS technology and the Australian region as a real growth engine.  

“Our current customers can be confident of the positive business opportunities that come with being part of a globally successful company that lives and breathes business management software, making it easier to run their businesses.”    

Farrer says some of Australia’s leading construction companies are choosing to partner with Access COINS.    

“Construction companies are investing in Access COINS because they recognise the value of technology to support their business processes,”

- Jim Farrer, Head of Construction APAC, The Access Group

“These companies tend to find product limitations with their existing software.   

“As their business expands and they evolve on their journey, they see a need to embrace technology that aligns with their growth objectives.    

“Moving to a more integrated platform with a single source of truth with Access COINS becomes an important factor in their growth journey,” Farrer says.  

“Our software is tailored to construction-specific processes."    

“There is a very high match between what construction companies need and what we provide, and that gives a compelling return on investment.” 

- Jim Farrer, Head of Construction APAC, The Access Group

Farrer says the Access COINS growth strategy is focused on developing a strong solution for customers and organic traction in the market.  

“We have successfully linked the field to the back office, which is a major tech advantage for construction companies,” he says.  

“There are products that specialise in the field and those that specialise in the back office, and we do both.”
