Technical sheet

What an IT team or a tender’s RFI asks: how ConstructINS connects to your systems, sign-in, hosting, records, export and how the AI handles data — as the platform actually works.

Connections

Primavera P6 stays your master schedule: the platform reads its .xer export and never writes back to P6.

DropboxDirect connection: Browse a Dropbox folder, import files into a project and save outputs back.

Microsoft 365

OneDrive & SharePoint (Excel, Word, files)Direct connection (sign in with the service): Browse OneDrive or a SharePoint document library, import Excel programs and registers into a project, and save the workbook and Word letters back — they open in Excel and Word online.

ERP

SAP S/4HANA (PS, MM, FI)File export, or webhooks: Purchase orders, cost actuals and project structures posted to the webhook through SAP Integration Suite or an automation tool.

Automation & webhooks

Webhooks (any system)Direct connection: The way in for any ERP, CRM or site system: post records (program, progress, purchase orders, NCRs…) or messages to a secret URL, and receive the platform’s events (uploads, sent messages, accepted replans) signed with HMAC-SHA256.
Microsoft Power AutomateFile export, or webhooks: Build flows in Microsoft Power Automate that post to the platform’s webhook and react to its events — the bridge to systems without a direct connector.

Files the Upload center reads

Excel (.xlsx): Every sheet is tried; the one that maps best to the record is used. English or Arabic headers.
CSV, TSV, text: The delimiter is detected: comma, semicolon or tab.
Primavera P6 (.xer): The programme: activities, logic, WBS and assigned resources. Read only; nothing is written back to P6.
Microsoft Project (.xml): The programme, the same way.
PDF and photos: Read by the AI document reader into the right columns; figures in a digital PDF are also computed without AI.
Old Excel (.xls): Asked to be saved again as .xlsx or CSV.

Sign-in and access

Company sign-in: Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on (OpenID Connect with PKCE), once your tenant is registered. Groups can map to roles.
Platform sign-in: Passwords kept only as scrypt hashes; passkeys supported; a temporary password lasts 7 days and is replaced at first sign-in; attempts are limited; a session is a signed cookie scripts cannot read, for at most 12 hours.
Who sees what: Each account has one of 47 job roles and a list of projects, checked on every page and every request. Client, auditor and other read-only accounts never change anything.
Secrets: AI keys, the mailbox password and connected systems’ credentials are encrypted on disk (AES-256-GCM).

Hosting

Cloud: Fully managed by Epsilon, in the region agreed for your deployment — Egypt-hosted available.
On-premises: Inside your own network; your IT team applies the releases Epsilon provides.
Hybrid: Sensitive commercial data on-site, compute in the cloud — split by your policy.
What runs: One service with its own built-in database: no GPU and no separate database server.
Support and service levels: Support hours, service levels and recovery times are agreed in the contract for your deployment.

Records and export

Change history: Every change to a project record keeps who made it, when, and the value before and after. What administrators do goes to a log that is only ever added to.
Export: Reports as PDF, Excel or CSV; files download only for accounts allowed to export.
Backup and deletion: The administrator takes a backup from Admin. A project can be archived, and deleted for good only after its name is typed to confirm.

What the AI sees, and where it goes

What is sent: Your question and only the records your account may see that bear on it — never the whole database.
Where it goes: To the provider you choose. Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini may process it outside Egypt, under their API terms. Your own Azure OpenAI resource keeps it in the region your policy allows.
Voice: Calls run through ElevenLabs, set not to save the audio or keep the transcript. ConstructINS does not store the audio either.
With AI switched off: Registers, dashboards, rule-based checks, BOQ arithmetic, reports and spoken or typed site updates keep working. Reading scanned paper, drafting and Ask ConstructINS need a provider.
