THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
If the right tool doesn’t exist, build it. That is how Highway Software, an all-in-one roadwork contractor management solution, was born. In 2016, a group of Greek contractors managing dozens of public infrastructure projects hit a wall. No off-the-shelf system could keep up with their work’s pace, complexity and shifting demands. They wanted a simple tech product to manage simultaneous projects across multiple sites, teams and regulatory environments. So, they designed one. That practical, in-house fix has grown into a scalable platform that now drives construction operations across Europe, South America, Australia and countries including the U.S. and Greece. Its phenomenal growth stems from impressed contractors who took it from one job to the next. Others saw it in action and recognised that their frustrations were solved on screen. Scheduling felt intuitive. Document control just worked. Issue tracking and team coordination were tailored. A steep learning curve wasn’t needed because it was not designed in abstraction but built from the ground up by people in the field. That field-born authenticity remains Highway Software’s defining advantage. “It’s built by contractors, for contractors,” says Andreas Gkikas, CEO. “Every feature addresses a pain point we’ve faced ourselves. That’s why it resonates with people the moment they see it in action.” Where Construction is Coordinated The cloud-based platform connects teams, tools and timelines, no matter where work occurs. Each interface is tailored to user roles, making day-to-day tasks faster and more coordinated. Field crews use the mobile app to track tasks, log materials, report equipment use and update progress by location. Office teams rely on the desktop version to manage schedules, budgets, payroll and compliance. Both sides work from the same data, reducing delays and improving visibility across every job stage. Subcontractors can update timelines and input data for their part of the work. Clients—government agencies, private developers and institutional owners—can track mapped work zones, monitor live progress and receive detailed handover reports. This transparency speeds up approvals and invoicing, improving cash flow and client communication.

Advancing Infrastructure Through Smarter Construction Platforms
Construction in Europe continues to evolve as technology redefines how projects move from initial planning to final delivery, creating a more connected environment for stakeholders at every level. Digital systems are no longer treated as side tools. Companies are building them into core operations, where they work alongside people to improve accountability and reliability. With this foundation, the sector is better positioned to deal with urban growth, stricter safety rules and sustainability demands while maintaining stronger control and long-term stability. Highway construction management platforms represent one of the most important advances within this movement, offering an integrated approach to scheduling, cost control and on-site monitoring. With real-time dashboards and mobile connectivity, managers can anticipate potential delays, adjust resource allocation and ensure that safety measures are upheld throughout every stage of development. Public agencies and private contractors are increasingly turning to these systems to ensure projects meet deadlines, stay within budget and deliver roads that support both economic growth and community mobility. The impact of these solutions extends far beyond efficiency, creating transparency between all stakeholders and reinforcing compliance with safety and environmental requirements. Decision-makers have today's accurate and up-to-the-minute data to inform improved decisions, enabling infrastructure networks to expand sustainably and respond to the demands of future mobility. With increasing demand for new transport infrastructure, these platforms are becoming more crucial to ensuring Europe's highways are reliable, safe and constructed for future generations. In this edition of the Construction Tech Review Europe, we explore the recent developments in highway construction management, transforming the way infrastructure projects are planned, executed and maintained across the continent. We hope this edition of the Construction Tech Review Europe helps you find the right partner for your business requirements.
