The Hansen Group has awarded a contract worth over GBP250,000 for new management software to EVision, the company that has developed Build-IT, the construction-specific software system.

Hansen Group is a European-wide family owned business, with a turnover of over GBP 112m.

It is regarded as Northern Europe's leading independent fenestration specialist and market leader in curtain wall, commercial windows, metal doors, fire resistant and structural glazing.

The initial phase of the implementation is for the UK, commencing in Manchester then rolling out to Enfield, Leeds, Gateshead and Kirby.

Build-IT will play an important part in helping the Danish company to expand its UK operation and work even more effectively with its clients.

"Starting with the implementation in Manchester will permit us to identify how best to develop our use of Build-IT and move forward with an effective training programme before we roll it out across the rest of the UK," says IT Director Simon Townsend "Once fully in place, Build-IT will allow us to coordinate across all our geographical locations and different business areas of the company," he says.

"We will be able to maintain effective central monitoring on what is happening across the company at any one time, allowing us to make smarter, faster business decisions," he says.

"Hansen needs a management information system that will allow it to manage a diverse range of operations," explains Alan Robbie, Director of EVision.

"Build-IT is based on a Microsoft platform, has been selected by the IT giant to deliver key solutions in the construction and property vertical market, and presents information in a Microsoft Windows environment that users find versatile and easy to use.".
