A controller was spending 3 days a month just reconciling Excel reports across 80 projects.
And that's just one person. Imagine the time sink across the entire org.
In today's episode of Bricks & Bytes, we had Joe Wilson from PROJEXION and we got to learn about the real state of construction data (spoiler: it's a disaster), why hiring data scientists isn't solving the problem, and how teams are finally breaking free from the endless cycle of firefighting... and many more!
Tune in to find out about:
✅ Why the 2018 point solution boom created a data fragmentation nightmare
✅ The gap between builders and data scientists that nobody talks about
✅ How one plug-and-play module gave an entire company their time back
✅ What happens when your data goes from "collecting dust" to actually alive
Joe's perspective is refreshing—15 years as a builder before jumping into tech means he actually gets what it's like on the ground. No fluff, just real talk about real problems. Watch now! Link in the comments!
