HCSS Named to the 2022 BuiltWorlds Project Software 50 List

SUGAR LAND, Texas, August 12, 2022 - HCSS, a leading provider of innovative software that helps heavy civil businesses streamline their operations, has been named to the 2022 BuiltWorlds Project Software 50 List in the Project Management category. HCSS HeavyJob automates tedious tasks so Project Managers can spend more time making profit-impacting decisions. With daily job costing and progress tracking, PMs can know exactly which projects are profitable and on time without setting foot on the job site so they can focus on the projects that need intervention.

“The construction industry is constantly changing due to challenges from the continuing pandemic, rising material costs, shortages of labor and supplies, and uncertainty in the economy, and construction firms need technology to mitigate these challenges,” said Steve McGough, CEO and President of HCSS. “We are pleased that HeavyJob is recognized as a leader in project management software. HeavyJob helps construction firms get better projects because of improved cost analysis, project management, and reports.”


The 2022 BuiltWorlds Project Software 50 List was derived from a combination of direct industry feedback, case studies, and 2021-2022 Benchmarking Survey data results. The survey inquired about leveraged solutions in Accounting & Payment, Business Intelligence, Collaboration & Document Management, ERP, Project Management, QA/QC, and Safety & Risk for construction project delivery. This list illustrates top and emerging project management software solutions being leveraged by some of the largest contractors, engineers, and specialty contractors from around the world.

The BuiltWorlds Benchmarking Survey gives engineering and construction companies the ability to gauge their technology adoption against their peers to identify and prioritize the gaps in their technology stack. Construction businesses of varying sizes were surveyed on topics like project management. BuiltWorlds asked survey respondents to list and rate their company’s Project Management solutions and evaluate them based on ease-of-use, the effectiveness for communication between the office, field, and other project stakeholders; change management; and integration with other solutions.

“HCSS HeavyJob helps project managers and foremen double their productivity so businesses can do more with less," says McGough.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
