Open hardware. Connected workflow.

NXGN's open retail hoarding system lets contractors and owners fabricate their own hoardings, mark up plans, calculate materials and job prices, and install hoardings without proprietary lock-in. Our platform keeps customer details, plans, quotes and installation records together, so you can organise each job from enquiry to completion.
