PavementSoft, a US-based company, began within a local paving operation offering commercial and industrial pavement and concrete services since 1985. Drawing on their extensive experience, they identified a need for specialized software to ease administrative tasks for construction business owners. A simple database application initially built for internal use has evolved into ‘PavementSoft’, a leading cloud-based pavement management system with an integrated ERP and a thriving industry community spanning across the US and Canada.

The Client
We have forged strong friendships and partnerships with the developers that we work with day in and day out at Binary Studio.
We have experienced immediate interaction and response from our team, which has been a great lift to us as we have been on tight development timelines. Communication has been impeccable, and we view our relationship as a true partnership where Binary Studio has provided valuable insights that go above the scope of their work and beyond the checkbox of development.
Objectives
The client developed a basic pavement software solution (called PSS) that was used internally, and was seeking for a tech partner who would transform it into a cloud-based ERP, which they also could market to construction and pavement firms to help manage their projects.
-
01
Develop a cloud-based ERP system with integrated CRM capabilities from scratch using initial software as a base reference
The initial objective of the collaboration was to build a web application that serves as a single point for handling all databases, documents, and operations. After testing and adopting the product internally, the client expected to offer it to other companies in the construction market.
-
02
Upgrade and scale the ERP system, which received a positive response from external users following its initial release
After a successful release and rising external demand, it was decided to upgrade and expand the capabilities of the ERP system to further empower end-users and directly meet their needs.
-
03
Complement the web platform functionality with iOS and Android mobile apps
To cater to a broader audience and enable on the go usage, it was decided to build mobile apps offering the key functionality of the web application.


Solution and Outcome
- The Binary Studio team took full charge of the development process, collaborating closely with the client's management.
- Our product ownership and ability to effortlessly translate business needs into efficient technical solutions greatly impressed the client. This served as a foundation for our ongoing long-term partnership.

-
Stage 1
In the initial phase of product development, we migrated the entire application infrastructure to AWS, established a scalable Node.js backend, and designed a robust MongoDB architecture with support for data validation.
This first version of the cloud-based ERP solution offered the following functionality:
- Vendor and asset management
- Bid management with automatic cost and margin calculations for various construction project types
- Automatic contract generation based on bid information and predefined contract templates
- Generation of project information reports for truck drivers and construction workers
After this significant update, the first external beta users were invited to test it. Based on their feedback, we fine-tuned the system and released it to the public.
-
Stage 2
The public release was highly successful, with a growing user base and increasing feature requests. As a result, there was a need for enhanced scalability and performance. Thus, the decision was made to modernize the infrastructure, incorporate new features, and integrate third-party solutions.
PostgreSQL replaced MongoDB as a more versatile database, capable of efficiently handling complex queries. Additionally, Fastify was adopted to replace Express, and we also transitioned to the latest version of the Angular framework.
Finally, PavementSoft was released with a set of expanded and enhanced features, including:
- A built-in CRM tool for efficient lead, client, and property management
- Precise property measurements and work maps plotting with the option to capture snapshots for inclusion in proposals
- Generation of estimates and the ability to send proposals via email as a link or PDF file
- Streamlined job scheduling
- Work order creation functionality
- Expedited invoicing and payment tracking through a built-in tool or integration with QuickBooks
- Improved reporting capabilities, allowing users to download raw report data as a .csv file
- Expanded third-party API integration with such services as HubSpot and DocuSign, among others
-
Stage 3
In addition to the web platform, we developed mobile applications for both iOS and Android using Flutter. The PavementSoft mobile apps replicate the core functionality of the web platform, empowering users to efficiently manage their projects, which includes tasks such as measuring, bidding, scheduling, and invoicing.
-
Stage 4
We continue to expand the platform's functionality in response to user feedback. PavementSoft is designed as a highly customizable solution, prioritizing user experience and community input. Beyond feature development, Binary Studio's involvement extends to collaborative discussions with the client regarding feature requests. We define the essential business logic, refine product design, and work on the technical details, always striving to find the most optimal solutions for implementation. Our commitment to this comprehensive approach ensures that PavementSoft evolves in alignment with user needs and industry demands.
