In today’s construction industry, environmental regulations and sustainability goals are more important than ever. Canadian construction companies face increasing pressure to ensure their supply chains comply with environmental standards. Tracking vendor compliance for environmental reporting is a critical function that Buildix ERP supports to help firms meet these requirements efficiently.
