Business Challenge
A mid-market general contractor struggled with project cost overruns and schedule delays that impacted profitability and client relationships.
Manual project tracking lacked real-time visibility into subcontractor performance, material costs, and progress across jobsites.
Without predictive analytics, the firm was unable to identify risks early or implement corrective action, leading to missed deadlines, strained client trust, and rising operational costs.
