Managing Director, Iain O’Kane said: “Our goal is to drive business efficiency through best-in-class digital transformation solutions. From engaging with our customers, we’ve identified a gap in the market for a management information tool for the construction industry.
"This will help it to increase efficiencies, speed up payments and manage purchasing over multiple sites.
“Over the next three years, increasing our technical expertise will be critical to our growth and expansion strategy. We know that our people drive our business solutions, whether that be through trusted expertise or emerging talent, and our new team will be no different.
"They will be responsible for building on our core product solutions and increasing sales opportunities. We’re looking forward to expanding our company from Lisburn and growing our team with Northern Ireland’s sterling local tech talent.”
