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.

Email

Company email (IMAP / SMTP)Direct connection: Any mailbox on the company’s mail server (cPanel, Zimbra, Exchange with IMAP), or Gmail / Outlook.com with an app password. Pulls the inbox and sends approved replies.

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

Odoo (ERP)Direct connection: Pulls purchase orders into Procurement and cost actuals into the cost report — by hand or every morning — reads project tasks, and creates tasks for actions.
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.
Oracle ERP / NetSuiteFile export, or webhooks: Purchase orders, invoices and cost to date through Oracle Integration Cloud 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.

MakeFile export, or webhooks: Build flows in Make that post to the platform’s webhook and react to its events — the bridge to systems without a direct connector.
n8nFile export, or webhooks: Build flows in n8n 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 ConstructINS’s own AI models, on the servers your deployment runs them on. A task that uses an outside language model may be processed outside Egypt, under that service’s terms; a deployment can keep every task on its own models.
Voice: Voice calls are set not to save the audio or keep the transcript, and ConstructINS does not store the audio either.
What runs without a model: Registers, dashboards, rule-based checks, BOQ arithmetic, reports and spoken or typed site updates run on ConstructINS’s own engines. Reading scanned paper, drafting and Ask ConstructINS use the AI models.
