Cloud-based field management software provider Novade Solutions and WakeCap, a smart solutions supplier for construction site management, have entered a strategic collaboration. 

The partnership will see both companies work together to integrate software applications and Internet of Things technologies, according to a press release posted via Zawya.  

It is aimed at boosting safety, quality, and productivity in large construction projects across Saudi Arabia.  

Both Novade and WakeCap are already working with Aramco, an integrated energy company, to deliver increased value, and aim to extend these solutions to other projects and clients within the region.  

The initiative is in line with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which focuses on economic diversification and sustainable development. 

WakeCap's technology solutions are said to be implemented in some of the largest construction sites in the Gulf Cooperation Council.

WakeCap CEO and co-founder Hassan Albalawi said: “WakeCap automates data collection, enabling site owners to verify and quantify performance and get real-time insights on project milestones and deliverables.  

“We are thrilled to partner with Novade, whose ability to digitise and manage processes aligns closely with our vision.”  

Novade serves companies in the building and infrastructure industry and its solution is reportedly deployed in more than 10,000 sites worldwide.  

The company's software automates site processes such as permits to work, safety inspections, and quality inspections by using mobile devices. 

Novade CEO Denis Branthonne said: "WakeCap's unique ability to capture data from the field is invaluable, especially for large-scale projects. 

“By combining our strengths, we are set to deliver solutions that will redefine construction management in the region.” 

In August 2022, Novade unveiled its product, Novade Lite, tailored for specialist contractors, trades, and homebuilders to facilitate the seamless coordination of on-site activities and personnel.
