CCS Australia is the Australian arm of South African software developer, Construction Computer Software. It is operated by CCS's exclusive local distributor, FutureWorx Pty Ltd. CCS develops and markets software solutions that target the construction, building and mining sectors. It is unique in providing an integrated solution that addresses all project requirements from the estimating phase, to project delivery and control, through to the full suite of backend systems, such as payroll, accounting and document management. By limiting its focus to construction, building and mining, CCS is able to provide industry-specific functionality without the usual expense of extensive tailoring—or the compromises involved in using generic solutions. Also unique is the real-time control that this integrated approach provides to users. On any day during a project's lifecycle, managers have visibility of the project's actuals to date and outlook at completion. This enables remedial action to be taken when it is required, not a month or more after the event.
