COINS uses a straightforward configuration on a massive scale for Laing O’Rourke and can provide a huge range of complex security and access control – compliance and access control being a particular strong suit of the product.
Made For the Construction and Infrastructure Industry
In Australia, Laing O’Rourke focuses on delivering transport infrastructure projects, predominantly rail and road, and Access COINS is specifically developed to handle the complexities of the Australian construction industry.
Infrastructure investors are demanding businesses demonstrate low-risk, governance-controlled operations before committing to a venture, and that is exactly what Access COINS empowers organisations to do.
Laing O’Rourke has used the COINS workflow capability in the product and has developed a lot of automated workflows for approval notification and compliance processes. Access COINS can deliver that type of capability to the construction and infrastructure market.
