Modular business management platform for UK construction and facility management companies. Features GPS-based kiosk attendance, project and task tracking, quotes, invoices, legal document management, and a plugin architecture that lets each business activate only the features they need.
FrancoConnect Portal is a multi-tenant operations platform built for construction and service companies operating across multiple sites and teams. It replaces fragmented spreadsheets and standalone apps with a single, plugin-driven system that handles attendance, project delivery, client billing, and compliance documentation from one place. Businesses choose the plugins that fit their workflow — nothing more.
Construction and facility management companies need tight control over on-site attendance, project delivery, and client documentation — but generic SaaS tools rarely fit the workflow. The system had to handle kiosk-based sign-ins at workshop and office locations, support multi-tenant data isolation, and stay extensible enough to grow with each client's operational needs without requiring a rebuild.
Built on Laravel 12, the platform uses a self-contained plugin architecture where each module (attendance, projects, quotes, invoices, legal documents, tasks, live chat) ships its own models, views, and routes. A PIN-based kiosk system with persistent sessions handles workforce attendance at physical locations. Multi-tenant architecture ensures data isolation between client accounts, and the admin interface provides a clean, customisable control centre for each business.
PIN-based check-in and check-out at physical locations with persistent kiosk sessions that survive deployments. Supports multiple kiosk modes: office, workshop, viewer, and document access.
Track construction and service projects with tasks, team assignments, and status workflows. Includes a project health scoring command that monitors progress automatically.
Generate, send, and manage quotes and invoices for clients. Full document lifecycle from initial estimate through to payment tracking and reporting.
Handle legal and compliance documents with structured approval workflows. Staff can access relevant documents from dedicated kiosk terminals on site.
Each feature area is a self-contained plugin with its own models, controllers, views, and routes. Businesses activate only the modules they need, keeping the system lean and focused.
Support multiple businesses on a single instance with complete data isolation. Each tenant configures their own plugins, users, locations, and workflows independently.
Brand Strategy: The name FrancoConnect combines the client's company (Franco Group UK) with the concept of connecting teams, sites, and business processes across the construction industry.
Visual Identity Development: Explored connecting-node and modular-block concepts to represent both the construction sector and the plugin-driven software architecture.
Color System: A confident green palette (#22c55e) was selected to convey reliability, operational clarity, and a practical energy — tones that work equally well across office, workshop, and kiosk environments.
Final System: Delivered a wordmark and icon set with flexible component variants for web portal, mobile, and kiosk display contexts — reflecting the modular nature of the product itself.
