Software Company in Houston, TX | Sugar Land, TX

Our main customer base consists of infrastructure, heavy/highway, and utility contractors. That means our customers build roads, bridges, dams, airports, and other critical infrastructure that keeps society moving.

We are passionate about developing software to help these contractors do their jobs even better. We developed HeavyBid, the industry standard in estimating software, to help contractors dramatically improve their estimating and bidding processes while increasing their chances of winning profitable work.

But winning a project is only the beginning. That’s why HCSS provides an entire suite of integrated software to help contractors from project start to completion, including programs to manage daily activities in the field, track labor and equipment, keep workers safe on the job, and much more.

Since 1986, HCSS has been developing software to help construction companies streamline their operations. Today, we are recognized as a pioneer and leader in our market, serving thousands of construction companies across the nation from our offices just outside Houston, TX, in Sugar Land. Year after year, we continue to innovate, refine, and expand our products as the industry evolves.

As part of our mission to deliver the most powerful, end-to-end platform for construction companies worldwide, HCSS acquired Dispatcher-Pro, a France-based leader in resource management technology. Together, we’re helping contractors around the world operate smarter, safer, and more connected than ever.

HCSS has come a long way since 1986, and we continue to grow and build on the things that make our customers successful. This is not a fly-by-night software company; our solutions are proven in the office and field, and we are here for the long haul.
