Case Study: A.L. Helmcamp achieves 100x faster processing and real-time field access with HCSS Cloud

Cloud-Hosted HCSS products Boost speed for A.L. Helmcamp

A.L. Helmcamp, a growing multi‑site contractor in Texas and an early HCSS Cloud customer, struggled with accessibility, slow performance and time‑consuming data syncs between office and field while bidding and managing projects. Lacking the desire or resources to host its own servers, the company needed a reliable, fast way for multiple users to access HeavyBid, HeavyJob and Equipment360 without version conflicts or downtime that could jeopardize bids.

HCSS upgraded its cloud platform (in partnership with nGenx) to a browser‑accessible DaaS environment that hosts the full HCSS suite and mobile iPad apps, eliminating local backups and manual syncing. The result: a far more stable system with instant, real‑time access across teams, dramatically faster processing (reported as “100 times faster”), easier deployment, and Tier‑4 availability that keeps estimating and field operations running smoothly.
