Real Estate:CXOToday spoke exclusively with Mr. Janak Vakharia, CEO of Xpedeon, on how the company is driving ERP integration and AI-ready platforms to help infrastructure firms achieve transparency, efficiency, and future-ready growth across India and global markets.
The infrastructure sector has traditionally been slow to adopt technology. However, the need for real-time visibility, cross-functional coordination, and cost control has driven infrastructure firms to re-evaluate traditional, siloed systems. A growing number of leading infrastructure and real estate companies across India, the Middle East, and the UK are embracing digital transformation to streamline operations such as procurement, budgeting, subcontractor management, and financial control. With large-scale projects and regulatory accountability at stake, the shift to integrated ERP platforms like Xpedeon enables greater transparency and control across the project lifecycle. Digital transformation now heavily depends on partnerships between tech providers, contractors, and public agencies, as well as strong cybersecurity measures and advanced analytics to manage growing data volumes and compliance needs.
Infrastructure projects require seamless coordination between departments and real-time access to operational data. Xpedeon’s ERP integrates processes like contract management, cost value reconciliation (CVR), procurement, equipment deployment, and financial oversight. The platform prioritizes agility and scalability, allowing organizations to rapidly adjust to changing project scopes and scale platforms as business grows. These platforms are increasingly mobile-first, giving distributed teams unified, real-time access and boosting collaboration. Enhanced security, including ISO-certified protections and zero-trust frameworks, has become near standard to safeguard vital project data. In the case of Navayuga, Xpedeon enabled unified control of budgeting and project planning. Similarly, Inderjit Mehta Constructions saw faster decision-making and better coordination across teams by deploying Xpedeon across departments.
Xpedeon’s clients, including Navayuga Engineering, Inderjit Mehta Constructions, Sobha Group, TriConnex, JN Bentley, Amjaad Engineering, and others, are progressing along their digital transformation journeys with the company’s unified ERP platform. While specific AI and machine learning applications remain proprietary and varied across clients, Xpedeon believes that the future of infrastructure technology will be shaped by platforms that are AI-ready, automation-driven, and capable of supporting predictive decision-making. The tools help build automation-ready frameworks that support data-driven decision-making across project planning, cost monitoring, and risk forecasting. The platform facilitates improved operational transparency, real-time insights, and enhanced coordination.
Emerging technologies are transforming planning from a static to a dynamic, data-led process. For example, Xpedeon’s implementation for IMCPL introduced real-time tracking across procurement and project budgets. These digital tools now enable projects to shift from static plans to dynamic, data-led processes, where delivery timelines can be predicted and controlled with greater accuracy. AI and IoT integrations allow for real-time monitoring of progress, risks, and compliance, while cloud ERP ensures rapid data-sharing and audit-readiness at every project stage.
Many Indian infrastructure firms still rely on legacy or disjointed systems. The transition to an integrated ERP requires cultural and procedural alignment. Alongside procedural and cultural adaptation, Indian firms are now grappling with talent shortages in digital literacy and establishing data protection protocols as mandatory requirements. However, those who transition to integrated ERP benefit from faster reporting, regulatory compliance, and cross-functional collaboration. This positions them to scale and embrace the country’s Smart Infrastructure agenda. As seen in Xpedeon’s work with Navayuga, once teams begin operating on a unified digital backbone, it creates lasting efficiencies, reduces overhead, and enables timely reporting critical for public-sector and compliance-heavy projects.
Smart infrastructure isn’t only about sensors and networks; it’s about providing contractors and developers with digital tools that enhance governance, transparency, and delivery outcomes. Xpedeon offers the essential ERP backbone that supports data-driven planning, integrated approvals, and real-time execution across infrastructure projects. As a purpose-built construction ERP matured over 31+ years, Xpedeon integrates workflows around procurement, contracts, cost value reconciliation (CVR), budgeting, subcontractor management, payroll, and financial reporting into one seamless platform. This unified system delivers real-time visibility into project costs, approvals, and variations across sites, offices, and supply chains. Xpedeon focuses on optimizing governance and control by enabling automation-ready frameworks that improve operational efficiency and transparency. Mobile accessibility empowers field teams to collaborate and make decisions quickly, while centralized data supports better financial and project management.
Xpedeon is working closely with Navayuga Engineering, one of India’s most respected infrastructure companies, as part of their ongoing digital transformation journey. Their goal was to move from legacy and manual systems to a single, unified ERP platform that could scale with the complexity of their operations. With Xpedeon’s construction-specific ERP solution, Navayuga has integrated key business functions including budgeting, procurement, subcontractor management, Cost Value Reconciliation (CVR), and financial reporting. This has helped them replace siloed systems with a connected, real-time environment, improving transparency, operational efficiency, and decision-making speed across the organization. The transformation has not only streamlined internal processes but has also positioned them to scale efficiently, backed by robust governance, cross-functional collaboration, and enterprise-wide visibility.
Xpedeon frequently encounters clients grappling with fragmented systems, manual processes, and spreadsheet-based workflows. Major improvements now include real-time cost visibility, error reduction, and workflow automation for payroll, accounting, and resource management, which are rapidly becoming industry standards globally. A recent example is TriConnex, a utility infrastructure provider in the UK, which struggled with disconnected manual workflows impacting financial control and project execution. By implementing Xpedeon’s integrated ERP solution, TriConnex streamlined payroll, accounting, and subcontractor workflows on a unified digital platform. The result was real-time project and cost visibility, reduced errors, automation of routine tasks, and an operational setup primed for scalable growth.
Xpedeon's experience across India, the UK, and the Middle East has reinforced that successful tech adoption hinges on adaptability and local understanding. Each market has its unique regulatory frameworks, contracting practices, and project expectations. For instance, compliance requirements in the UAE differ from contract norms in the UK. Xpedeon has evolved into a cloud-native, agile solution precisely because it has learned from these regional nuances. The adaptability of its platform, whether it’s aligning with specific financial guidelines, tax structures, or contractual regimes, has made it effective across geographies. The lesson is clear: technology must respect local practices while maintaining consistency in performance and reliability.
The infrastructure sector in India is on the cusp of a transformational leap powered by heightened digital maturity and the scaling of Smart City initiatives. A shift towards real-time governance, ESG-aligned operations, and automated workflows is underway. Looking ahead, Xpedeon expects a surge in demand for specialized, cloud-first construction ERP platforms that embed sustainability, compliance, and agility by design. Xpedeon is strategically positioned to lead this evolution with its modular, mobile-first architecture, automated ledger-to-approval workflows. The company’s commitment is to equip infrastructure businesses, large and mid-sized, with tools that elevate transparency, efficiency, and future-readiness in this digitally transformative phase.
