IDEI Mexico: Speeding up
construction projects by connecting
jobsites with the back office
Internacional de Inversiones SA de CV (IDEI Mexico) creates unique, sustainable
real estate projects that improve people’s quality of life. Whether a large-scale
commercial development – such as the Torre KOI skyscraper, one of Mexico’s
largest buildings – or a private home, speed and accuracy are critical to the
success of any construction project.
To simplify everything from project planning and scheduling to budgeting and
finance, IDEI replaced manual processes with a jobsite automation platform
integrated with the company’s core ERP system. Now, with an end-to-end solution
that connects finance to the field, IDEI is cutting the time, effort, and cost of
operational planning – helping the company to build faster and more cost-
effectively.

Smarter planning, faster builds
Business is booming for IDEI, with a surge in investment for sustainable development
in Mexico in recent years. To keep pace, IDEI must deliver construction projects on time
and on budget. Speed and accuracy are key to project success – which is why it’s vital
for the jobsite to be connected to the back office.
To lay the foundation for integrated operations, IDEI selected SAP S/4HANA as the
digital core of the group. SAP S/4HANA drives all back-office processes, while the
company uses the Smartapp ONE™ suite of tools to support jobsite execution – from
works planning and scheduling to building information management (BIM) and safety.
The Smartapp ONE™ for SAP extension, part of SAP's industry cloud portfolio,
enables IDEI to sync jobsites with SAP S/4HANA, connected via SAP Integration
Suite – bridging the gap between finance and the field. Today, IDEI has real-time
visibility of each jobsite’s schedule and budget, enabling more accurate planning
and smarter decision-making. These insights are helping the company to realize
builds faster and more cost-effectively, helping IDEI to capitalize on Mexico’s
building boom.
