Embracing multilingual solutions will be key to meeting the needs of diverse workforces moving forward and running a smooth operation. The construction and building materials industry relies on effective communication for operational success, but language barriers can be a challenge, particularly for Spanish-speaking employees. These challenges can lead to miscommunication, delays in maintenance workflows, and difficulties in accurately assessing asset health. Software and platforms with Spanish language options can help bridge communication gaps while providing such benefits as improved task completion, enhanced compliance, and better ROI.
One benefit of Spanish-language solutions is improved accessibility. When employees can interact with software in their native language, they are more likely to adopt and engage with it. Higher adoption rates also translate to more consistent use of the platform, creating a cycle of improved communication and operational efficiency. Additionally, the enhanced employee engagement fostered by accessible technology can boost morale and retention, further contributing to long-term cost savings.
BCMI agrees with this sentiment, which is why Material Pro & Material Now are available in Spanish. Also, BCMI’s ProPilot AI suite includes ProPilot for concrete dispatch and voice commands and queries for mobile app users that have built-in translation tools to assist non-English speakers with navigation in the Material Now app.
“AI is here, and it will have a global impact on society,” BCMI President and CEO Craig Yeack says. “BCMI is aggressively getting in front of the technology and fundamentally changing how our industry interacts with the digital enterprise. Navigation menus will be around for a long time, but the new way is to ask anything, in any language you choose, and get an answer.”
Fleet solutions with Spanish-language options aren’t just a tool for bridging communication gaps, they help ensure that employees can contribute unhindered to the success of the organization, unlocking new levels of efficiency, safety and profitability.
