Challenge
Our client faces major challenges, including labor shortages and rising operational costs impacting efficiency and timelines. With a shrinking pool of skilled labor in the U.S. and globally, recruiting and retaining qualified workers becomes increasingly difficult.

Effective data collection and visualization at construction sites further complicate project oversight and decision-making, traditionally relying on manual processes that compromise data accuracy and accessibility. Seeking innovative solutions, our client aims to enhance operational efficiency and project execution.
Solution
The introduction of the BizStack platform, integrated with the AI assistant BizStack Assistant, transforms construction project management by providing real-time data and comprehensive analytics via a generative AI chat interface. Central to the solution is the BizStack Console, which structures data from sensors, computer vision tools, and cameras into user-friendly dashboards. These dashboards cater to specific needs, allowing key personnel to make crucial decisions in real-time. Accompanied by the BizStack Assistant, the platform empowers all onsite workers to readily access and interpret data, eliminating the need for specialized data scientists. Workers receive contextual answers to natural language questions, incorporating data into existing project management tools like Salesforce Einstein, SAP, Joel, ServiceNow, Microsoft Teams, and Slack.
BizStack enhances data management through several components:
- BizStack Gateway: Transforms on-site data into structured formats, securely transmitting it to the cloud.
- BizStack Cloud Data: Organizes data to reflect business structures, enabling easy analysis.
- Real-Time Value: Collects and stores data in the cloud, optimizing the use of existing hardware.
- BizStack User Interface: Aligns with business data, creating a robust, tailored operational package.
