Every executive struggles to see real-time data on performance, especially regarding how current projects are performing compared to the original bids. Recognizing this indisputable need and the fact that data is everything in construction, HCSS has significantly revamped its reporting tools. Here’s what’s in store for 2025 with the upcoming release of HCSS Insights!
Why HCSS Insights is a game-changer
Enter HCSS Insights, a new and innovative reporting platform designed to turbo-charge businesses with real-time data reports for HCSS customers – fully customized for each unique business. Going beyond simply providing data, HCSS Insights delivers persistent feedback that allows businesses to make data-driven decisions on the fly.
With an advanced reporting platform like this, users can create, customize, and share reports instantly (more on this below). This helps businesses stay ahead of the curve by learning from past performance and informing future projects. Whether it's payroll reports, equipment usage data, or job site safety metrics, HCSS Insights gives businesses a powerful edge in streamlining operations.
Customizing your reports
With the flexibility to generate and distribute customizable and visually appealing reports, it’s no wonder that beta users are already praising HCSS Insights’ ability to offer real-time data and personalized reports that adapt to their business needs.
Next year, AI will be layered on top of HCSS Insights as it connects with HCSS Copilot. Customers will be able to ask questions like, “Tell me how many of my estimates are over budget?” or “How many of my trucks are not where they’re supposed to be?” The answers will be built into a customer’s report.
Currently, updates happen once daily, but HCSS is working to increase the frequency to hourly for companies needing more refreshes. This optional upgrade will enable users to track project progress as it happens, identify losses and red areas, and more quickly correct issues.
Key features and benefits of HCSS Insights
Intuitive User Interface: The dashboard is designed for ease of use, with a simple yet effective interface and visually appealing reports that make data analysis more engaging.
Faster Response Times: Users no longer have to wait for data to load. With instant updates, they can quickly apply filters and see the changes in real time.

Cost Savings: HCSS Insights is bundled with your existing HCSS products, as long as you maintain an active HCSS subscription.
Built on feedback from HCSS customers
With 37 years in the construction industry under their belts, HCSS has spent decades communicating with hands-on industry professionals to focus on delivering bullet-proof solutions that work. A consistent request has always been quick access to real-time data, which is critical for making the right business decisions.
Currently in beta with 250 different construction companies as this latest offering is perfected, HCSS Insights sets a new standard for business intelligence. Built on Microsoft Power BI, this solution provides a faster, more intuitive way to analyze data across multiple HCSS products. At launch, HeavyBid, HeavyJob, Equipment360, and HCSS Safety will all be integrated, with the remainder of the HCSS platform to follow.
