Company Details

Varicon is on a mission to transform one of the biggest and oldest industries globally. Construction has one of the highest rates of insolvency among all industries (it accounts for 10% of GDP and 25% of insolvencies). This is a consequence of the huge level of financial risk that these companies are exposed to. We’re changing this by helping construction contractors make better data-driven decisions to reduce financial risk.

Varicon is a fast-growing venture funding-backed Australian startup transforming the way construction operations and costs are managed. Varicon enables our customers greater visibility into the financial performance of their projects to reduce overall financial risk for the business and improve internal governance processes.
