AB Group Sync Case Study
Scaling project control with construction project management software
As AB Group grew, increasing project volume, supplier numbers, and compliance demands put pressure on their commercial and finance teams. What began as a collection of specialist tools and Excel spreadsheets became difficult to manage at scale. They required a single, practical platform to improve clarity without adding complexity.

As AB Group grew, disconnected systems and Excel spreadsheets became a barrier. Sync centralised project, commercial, health and safety, and financial data into one platform that continues to scale with the business.
The challenge
Before Sync, AB Group were operating across multiple systems, with Excel acting as the glue holding everything together.
Commercial reporting, health and safety oversight, and financial tracking all lived in different places. Data had to be manually reconciled, spreadsheets duplicated, and information chased across teams.
That approach worked, until the business outgrew it.
As project volume increased, so did the risk of delays, missed visibility, and admin overhead. The team needed a platform that could grow with them, not something they would outgrow again in twelve months.
Sync has transformed how we manage projects. Everything is centralised, clear and scalable.
Why Sync
Sync was implemented to provide practical construction project management software that brings structure and consistency across projects while remaining flexible to AB Group’s established workflows. The platform evolved as the business grew, with feature enhancements supporting commercial control, construction health and safety compliance in the UK, financial management reporting software integration, and Net Zero transition tracking. This approach helped maintain operational control without slowing the team down.
What changed
Once Sync was embedded, AB Group were able to centralise key project data and reduce reliance on offline spreadsheets.
Key improvements included:
-
A single system for project, compliance, and commercial oversight
-
Reduced duplication of data and manual reconciliation
-
Better visibility across live projects for senior teams
-
Scalable workflows that adapted as the business expanded
We were spending too much time maintaining spreadsheets rather than managing projects. Sync gave us clarity and consistency without slowing the team down

Supporting Net Zero and health and safety
Supporting Net Zero Transition and Health and Safety Sync is integral in supporting AB Group’s wider commitments as construction health and safety software for the UK market.

Compliance is embedded into daily project management rather than reviewed retrospectively.
