Russian Specialists Create a Unique Construction Management Platform
Developers say the solution surpasses imported analogues in functionality.
A Russian-developed platform called SIGNAL is helping manage the entire construction process. It has successfully replaced foreign solutions and is now used as a unified digital system that increases transparency and makes oversight preventive rather than reactive.
According to the project’s author, SIGNAL’s chief technology officer Alexander Popov, the team not only built the product from scratch in two years, but also introduced new configurations tailored to market demand.
All Documents in One Place
As Popov notes, the core of the system is the DOCS module, a file-based document management system. This is where the entire life of a project revolves: uploading design documentation, transferring it into production, approvals, issuance, and addressing comments. The system allows users to compare versions to verify that comments have been resolved, while final documentation is issued with an electronic stamp and a QR code. Using this code, the current status of a document can be checked at any time directly on the construction site. All of this is certified with an electronic signature. This, Popov says, is the digital backbone of a construction project.
The platform was originally designed with an open API, making it possible to integrate virtually any external system. For example, live video feeds from cameras can be displayed directly in the dashboard, while online documents are embedded into the system just like regular files.
