Excited to share our newest case study featuring our work with Hourigan! Hourigan is a fully-integrated construction & development firm headquartered in Richmond, VA and recognized as an ENR Top 400 general contractor. We are proud to be their data management partner by providing turnkey data pipelines and Microsoft Fabric infrastructure to power their workflows. *** What was the ROI for Hourigan? *** ? Material time savings in developing and maintaining scalable data infrastructure for a clean data lake (essential first step before exploring AI tools) ?? Significant annual cost savings of more than six figures to optimize data management ? Increased flexibility in managing other types of construction data in real-time via Microsoft Fabric Read more about the case study here: https://lnkd.in/gXyVzf2a. If you're looking to replicate their success with turnkey data management, schedule an intro chat with Barry here: https://lnkd.in/gPmcawVR

Yes - that's me in the dinosaur costume. We had an incredible time last week in Denver for Procore Groundbreak 2024. It was fun catching up with our customers, making new connections, and seeing familiar faces including Jessica Waters, Don Fraser, Bob Bachmeier, Rick Walega, Brenda Cooper, James Park, Dave Anderskow, Andrew McDonnell, Jay Miller, Jason Vaia, Jenell Schroeder, Rohit Sinha, Christopher Slaymaker, Ajoy B., Jit Kee Chin, Parker Mundt, Mack Rush, Ryan O'Connor, Caroline Culp, Carly Joos, Abigail Bonilla, Felipe Dominguez, David Starmer, Jade Cohen, and many more! Honestly, we need to stop saying that construction is slow to adopt tech. Go to conferences like Groundbreak - you'll see purposeful software (like Kroo!) being built for the industry. The problem is that a lot of solutions weren't built to support the complexities & nuances of the industry, but that has changed. And...that wraps up our team's conference schedule for 2024. Back to building!

?? New product launch alert! Introducing KrooCast, the next-generation project financial forecasting tool for construction. ?? KrooCast was built by industry experts for industry needs. We heard you all, so we built it. Now, GCs and specialty contractors can automate WIP processes, forecast L/M/E resources with precision, and use historical data to forecast more accurately. Whether you use Procore, Sage 300, Viewpoint Vista, or other ERPs, Kroo integrates with your software via our KrooLake infrastructure. With Kroo, you don’t need to manually go between your software and Excel anymore. Our team will be at Procore Groundbreak in Denver this week - reach out to Barry Chiu or Jonny Xu if you'd like to chat about modernizing your project forecasting process.

See you in Denver next week! (we have a big surprise for everyone....) Our team is excited for Procore's biggest event of the year. Looking forward to catching up with friends and connecting with forward-thinking leaders in the construction industry. (P.S. keep your eyes wide open for our surprise in Denver - more to come!)

Our leadership team had an action-packed week in Boston sharing how Kroo is democratizing data management for the construction industry and meeting with industry leaders who share our passion and excitement for driving innovation in the built world. We'll be headed to Denver next week for Procore Groundbreak. See you there!

On behalf of the whole Axiom Builders team, I'm proud to bring home Suffolk Technologies' Operating Partner of the Year award from the BOOST5 Venture Accelerator in Boston for the 2nd year running. This award is a testament to Axiom Builders' commitment to continuous improvement, not just for ourselves, but for the cost/quality curve of the entire construction industry. This wouldn't be possible without the dedication and insight of our highly engaged leadership and field teams, which it has been my privilege to get to know this year. We were also lucky to be advising such a talented and pragmatic founder team in Kroo, who are democratizing construction general contractors' data for their teams and leaders to make fast, reliable, and profitable decisions at scale. Lastly, I would like to extend a great big thanks to John F. Fish, Jit Kee Chin, Wan Li Zhu, Parker Mundt, Joshua Weyand ?? and the entire Suffolk team for their support and excellence throughout the BOOST5 experience. I look forward to continuing to solve the industry's biggest challenges together. See you next year!

Thank you, Veterans.

We're in Boston this week! We have some big news to share...stay tuned!

Does this graphic from Procore look familiar to you? Well...I made one edit. Level 4 should be labelled as "AI-ready". Data management is a fast-growing requirement in construction today. About 80% of the industry is at Levels 1 & 2! But to even use AI reliably, you need to be at Level 4. Companies like Suffolk Construction are already there, but don't worry if you think you're falling behind your competitors - Kroo can help you get there. You can't have an AI strategy without a data strategy. That's why I love what we do for our customers. (thanks Procore for always putting out good content)
