Admicom focuses its strategy on improving the productivity of construction industry customers and organises a Capital Markets Day

Unofficial translation of the company release on November 2, 2022 at 15:00 pm EET. In case the document differs from the original, the Finnish version prevails.

In the 2020s, Admicom has changed from a single ERP system provider to a wide-scale software provider for the construction industry.Admicom still sees a lot of opportunities in Finland and internationally to boost the productivity of the construction industry through digitalization, especially in the area of SMEs. 

The customer experience of customers in the construction industry will be at the heart of operations in the clarified strategy. The aim is to significantly increase the productivity and quality of operations of construction entrepreneurs through digitalisation. Digitalization solutions utilize both software and highly productized value-added services. Admicom's strong foundation in Finland and its extensive user base in the construction value chain provide an opportunity to build data driven, AI-powered automated models. At the same time, Admicom can act as a key ecosystem player in the vertical of the construction industry, providing customers with increasing added value through partnerships. 

Understanding of the digitalisation needs of the construction industry, industry-specific operating models and selected software form the basis onwhich the company will start planning the internationalization for markets outside Finland immediately. 

 

Execution in two phases 

The 1-2-year first phase of the strategy period will build the necessary foundation for accelerating organic growth, data-driven operations and strong internationalisation. At this stage, the main focus is especially on improved service for a wide range of current customers, expanding the customers' range of solutions, and inimproving ease of use of solutions, and in increasing the data-based functionalities and the degree of automation of the solutions. 

We expect the projected downturn in the construction industry to coincide with this first phase, during which we will build the foundation for strong organic growth as the recession eases. During this phase, we will increase our investments in growth projects, while constantly taking into account the market situation as the recession progresses.

In the second phase of the strategy period, a clearly stronger level of organic growth is sought from superior customer experience, synergistic sales work, diversifying solution offerings and international markets.

As part of limiting the Group's customer focus to the construction sector, Admicom is analysingthe separation of the current Admicom Finland's Industrial Division into its own independent company, whose support options for strategic growth will be explored during the rest of the year.  

Acquisitions are still part of the company's toolbox and can be used to support internationalisation or to expand the company's solution offering for the digitalisation needs of construction customers.
