One of the top contracting firms in the Pacific Northwest has chosen ProNovos as its enterprise partner for construction data analytics

No 172 in Engineering News-Record's 2019 Top 400 Contractors ranking GLY Construction formalized its relationship with ProNovos by signing a multiyear partnership agreement with the Atlanta-based tech startup said Bruce Orr ProNovos' Founder and Chief Data Scientist With a 53-year track record in Puget Sound locally owned GLY makes smart use of technology to manage complexity create value and mitigate risk Orr said We're gratified that GLY is as bullish as we are about the power of construction data analytics to further advance those goals

Over the past four years the IT department at Bellevue Washington-based GLY has stress-tested ProNovos' cloud-based data analytics platform as part of an initiative to streamline the company's labor-reporting process and glean new insights into its operations said Joe Bonacci CFO of GLY

We now do all of our weekly labor reporting through ProNovos and our project teams are using the platform to forecast labor determine productivity rates and claim quantities hours and costs Bonacci said With respect to accuracy ProNovos is superior to semimanual spreadsheet-based approaches which can be error-prone as a result of data-entry mistakes and broken formulas

In any given year the CFO said GLY completes anywhere from 80 to 120 projects Examples to name a few include the Rufus 20 Block 21 Amazon HQ expansion in Seattle's Denny Triangle neighborhood; the six-phase FutureCare expansion of Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue; and Vulcan Inc's Google-anchored mixed-use project in Seattle   

In addition to labor-reporting GLY has partnered with ProNovos on data initiatives related to equipment-management and general ledger said Andy Hough IT Director of GLY We're now using ProNovos as our corporate dashboard he said Bruce and his team are advising us as we build out our data warehouse and ramp up our data-cleanliness By integrating more data streams into ProNovos' analytics engine GLY will be able to make better decisions in the office and the field

Moving forward the award-winning contractor will use ProNovos as the foundation for its efforts to revamp key internal systems and processes; in addition a mobile app will give GLY's teams greater access to the platform As Orr sees it GLY is at the forefront of the data revolution in construction As evangelists for construction data analytics he said we're excited to partner with this innovative and experienced contractor
