Accelerating Cloud-Based Scheduling, Resource Planning, and Office-Field Collaboration

SUGAR LAND, TX — HCSS, recognized as the leading provider of construction management software for heavy civil and infrastructure projects, announces the acquisition of Dispatcher-Pro, known in the European market as "Dispatcher," a Paris-based leader in resource management software. Designed specifically for the heavy civil industry, Dispatcher-Pro’s technology is a natural fit within the HCSS platform. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone in HCSS’s ongoing mission to deliver the most comprehensive and integrated platform for construction companies worldwide.

Dispatcher-Pro brings a proven, cloud-native solution purpose-built for the heavy civil market, and is trusted by leading contractors such as VINCI Construction, Eiffage, and NGE. Developed in close collaboration with influential customers, Dispatcher-Pro enables HCSS to accelerate the delivery of cloud-based resource management.

With a user-friendly interface and open APIs, Dispatcher-Pro seamlessly integrates with existing technology stacks, providing a flexible and scalable solution for construction firms of all sizes.

The acquisition delivers key advantages to crucial roles across construction organizations. Resource planners will find day-to-day scheduling across crews, equipment, and projects, simplified with features such as planner view and field workspace, reducing errors and manual rework. Operations managers and foremen can ensure the right people and equipment are in the right place at the right time, while fleet and equipment managers will gain clearer visibility and control to keep resources aligned. HR and safety managers benefit from certifications and qualification tracking, ensuring compliant crew assignments and reducing risk. IT directors will appreciate Dispatcher-Pro’s modern, cloud-native solution with open APIs for seamless interoperability, and finance and operations leaders can expect improved labor productivity, improved compliance, and smarter resource forecasting.

"Dispatcher-Pro’s intuitive scheduling and resource planning capabilities address real challenges our customers face every day, from workforce coordination to compliance tracking," said Steve McGough, President & CEO of HCSS. "The acquisition of Dispatcher-Pro is a strategic step forward in our mission to provide the most comprehensive and integrated platform for construction companies. We’re excited to welcome the Dispatcher-Pro team to HCSS and to bring even more value to our customers through smarter, more connected operations."

Julien Fournier and Maxime Guesne, Co-founders of Dispatcher, added, "Joining HCSS is an exciting next chapter for Dispatcher-Pro. We've always been focused on building intuitive, effective tools that help teams plan better and work more efficiently. HCSS shares that same customer and field-first mindset, and together we can scale our impact, and pioneer innovation in the construction industry. We're proud to continue our mission as part of a company that deeply understands and supports the needs of contractors. We believe that joining a leading provider of construction management software will serve our customers well in their digitization process, and that we will be able to support them with a comprehensive range of HCSS products designed for construction, heavy civil engineering, and infrastructure projects."

This acquisition enhances HCSS’s ability to help construction companies eliminate scheduling blind spots, streamline labor and equipment assignments, and improve project execution, all within a single, collaborative solution suitable for both centralized and decentralized planning. Customers can expect to see enhanced features in scheduling and workforce tools, supporting efficient resource allocation, improved compliance, and better forecasting of resource needs.

Dispatcher-Pro’s modern, cloud-native technology will complement the existing HCSS Dispatcher product, which remains fully supported. Both solutions will continue to serve customers with no disruption, offering flexibility and choice in equipment and labor resource management.
