Assignar

Assignar is a cloud-based construction operations platform that links field crews with office functions in real time. Founded in 2014, the company builds software for scheduling, workforce tracking and field-to-office communication, aimed at contractors in civil, rail, infrastructure and subcontracting work. Its product is used by more than 800 contractors globally across thousands of infrastructure projects.

The platform grew out of an in-house tool. Founder Sean McCreanor built it for his own contracting business, which ran 250 employees and 70 pieces of equipment, before offering it to the wider industry. The stated aim is to replace spreadsheets, text messages and paper processes with a single system that lets teams schedule, track and report on work as it happens.

The company describes itself as field-first, staffed by people familiar with job-site conditions and focused on operational problems rather than generic software. Technical work spans cloud-based SaaS development, field operations management software, real-time field-to-office connectivity, and scheduling and workforce tracking systems. Assignar operates globally.
