ALBANY, N.Y. — Access Construction, a division of The Access Group, has launched a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform tailored specifically for U.S. specialty contractors, aiming to bridge long-standing gaps between field operations and financial management.

The newly introduced Access Coins Evo Specialty Contractor Suite is designed for contractors in the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP), HVAC and civil construction sectors. The platform integrates job costing, payroll, compliance, procurement and project management into a single system, enabling real-time data flow across departments.
Specialty contractors have historically struggled with disconnected systems, where field data is logged separately and later re-entered into financial platforms, often delaying insights into project performance.
“Specialty contractors in the U.S. have been running their businesses on a delay. They find out about budget overruns after the damage is done. They manage field operations in one system and financials in another, and someone in the office spends their day moving data between the two. Access Coins Evo eliminates that entirely. When something happens in the field, the financial system knows instantly. That is a different, better way of running a contracting business,” said Alex Boury, general manager at Access Construction.
The Access Coins Evo platform connects field activity directly to financial systems, allowing updates to job costs, payroll and cash flow forecasts to occur instantly when data is entered in the field.
Key features include real-time job costing, automated compliance tools and integrated service and construction management capabilities. The system also includes built-in artificial intelligence tools designed for roles such as financial controllers, project managers and service dispatchers.
The platform supports compliance requirements such as union and prevailing wage payroll, certified payroll for government-funded projects, and tracking aligned with regulations including the Davis-Bacon Act and OSHA safety standards.
In addition, Access Coins Evo offers automatic bank reconciliation through connections to more than 12,000 U.S. financial institutions, helping contractors streamline month-end closing processes.
The ERP suite is offered in three tiers — Core, Professional and Enterprise — targeting companies ranging from regional contractors to large multinational firms. Each tier operates on the same platform, allowing businesses to scale capabilities without replacing systems.
Implementation timelines range from seven to 18 months for most deployments, which the company said is significantly faster than traditional construction ERP systems that often require extensive customization and longer rollout periods.

Access Construction said the platform builds on more than 40 years of ERP development experience and serves a global user base of over 130,000 across construction, real estate and infrastructure industries.
“The U.S. specialty contractor market is large, growing, and underserved by the current software landscape. Contractors are either stuck on systems that were never built for construction, or they are paying enterprise prices for platforms that require years of customization before they are useful. We built the specialty contractor suites on Access Coins Evo for the way specialty contractors actually work, and we are bringing them to the U.S. market with a deployment model and a price point that the mid-market can actually access,” Boury added.
The Access Coins Evo Specialty Contractor Suite is now available across the United States, with demonstrations and assessments open to interested contractors.
