Empiraa GPS for construction and trades
Build the business, not just the jobs. One plan across every project and branch.
Empiraa GPS gives construction and trade businesses one plan for growth, safety, margin and people. Every priority has an owner, site leaders update progress from their phone, and the leadership team sees what is slipping before it shows up in the numbers.

- Unlimited users
- 30-day pilot
The challenge
The jobs always win. The plan waits.
Construction leaders rarely lack ambition. The week fills with tenders, sites and staff issues, and the priorities that grow the business get pushed to next month.
What gets in the way
Project work crowds it out
Urgent site problems take the time set aside for strategic priorities.
Goals in different places
Safety sits in one system, margin in the accounts and growth in someone’s head.
Leaders spread across sites
Branch and site managers rarely sit in the same room as the plan.
Surprises at month-end
By the time the numbers arrive, the chance to fix the month has gone.
How GPS helps
One system from the office to the site.
How it works for construction
Growth, safety and people in one plan
Put revenue, margin, safety and workforce goals on one page, with live status, so everyone can see what the business is working towards.
- Goals such as a lower injury rate, won work or apprentice numbers
- Measurable objectives with targets and due dates
An owner for every priority
Map directors, branch managers and site leads in the Accountability Chart. Every goal has one owner, and open roles or overloaded leaders are flagged.
Updates from the site, not the office
Site leaders share good news, blockers and topics in a short check-in, from the web or the iPhone app. Blockers become issues for the leadership team.
Know which goals are behind pace
The timeline shows every goal against where it should be today, so a slipping safety or margin target is visible weeks earlier.

Questions
Questions construction businesses ask.
Does GPS replace our project management software?
No. Keep your job and project tools. GPS runs the business plan: the goals, owners and weekly rhythm that grow the company.
Can site managers update from site?
Yes. The iPhone app handles updates and check-ins, so progress doesn’t wait for a day in the office.
Can we track safety goals?
Yes. Set a safety goal, such as bringing an injury rate below a target, give it measurable objectives and an owner, and the timeline shows whether it is on pace.
We have several branches. Does that work?
Yes. Map each branch or region in the Accountability Chart, and every plan includes unlimited users.
Can we try it first?
Yes. We run 30-day pilots with one leadership team, using your real plan. We agree the pilot terms with you in the demo. See how pricing and pilots work.
