Construction tech business CrewSight joins ASSA ABLOY

DALLAS, Texas – U.S. construction technology business CrewSight has been acquired by global access solutions leader ASSA ABLOY group.

In a release the company stated that the acquisition supports a vision to accelerate the digital transformation of the construction industry, globally, through software-driven access control and workforce management solutions. CrewSight will provide innovative solutions that improve security, productivity, safety, and compliance on site as part of a dedicated offering for the construction industry.

CrewSight has been partnering with some of the biggest names in U.S. construction since 2014, with groups like Turner, Hensel Phelps, and Lendlease in providing tailored jobsite access control and workforce management systems. Better still, all of CrewSight’s services and solutions are managed via an online portal and mobile app, reducing manual, paper-based processes on site.

“Our software-driven solutions deliver dramatic productivity benefits for construction, at both site and group level, whilst improving compliance, safety and of course security,” Mike Rimmington, Senior Vice President and Head of Construction, ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions, said. “This is a result of utilizing the latest technology and by giving our customers access to accurate, real-time workforce data that generates valuable insight, when they need it. CrewSight will support this offering in the U.S. market and I’m excited to see what the team can achieve working in partnership with the global leader in access solutions, ASSA ABLOY.”

Chris Henderson, Senior Product Manager at CrewSight, adds, “The future of construction centers on the adoption of technology and we are passionate about supporting the U.S. construction industry on this journey. Labor costs can contribute up to 40% of total project costs, so visibility of who is on site, in real time, is critical. Construction managers need to have total confidence of those costs and our software helps them understand this through easy to access, accurate workforce data. We are thrilled to be joining ASSA ABLOY, to support the continued adoption of access control and workforce management technology in the United States.”

CrewSight will be joining the business area of ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions, a division founded to support the adoption of innovative electronic access, software and identity solutions. They will be joining fingerprint and facial recognition system access control pioneers, Biosite Systems Ltd.

The company offering will be presented during ISC West this year at booth #8101. Members of the CrewSight team will be on hand with representatives from ASSA ABLOY’s construction business team, as well as specialists from the Critical Infrastructure and Self-Storage business areas.
