What exactly can I use Kroo for?
Data from one software can't tell the whole story.
To get an accurate view of job progress, construction teams combine data from project management software (e.g. Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, InEight, Premier), scheduling software (e.g. Oracle Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Oracle Primavera Cloud), and ERP software (e.g. Sage, Viewpoint Vista, Viewpoint Spectrum, CMiC, Acumatica).
Avoid the headaches with mapping data between different software.
It is difficult to map different datasets coming from various software applications, especially without an in-house data team. Job numbers in one system may not match how job numbers are stroed in a different system. Kroo helps map the specific relationships to join different datasets so that your team can benefit from cohesive analytics.
Customization wins every time. We support that.
Out-of-box exports (e.g. Crystal Reports, standard PDFs, CSV files) usually will never capture what your team needs out of the available data. Kroo helps your team win more by having more customization for your analytics.
Track how long it took to complete buyouts for different scopes.
Analyze which scopes may have contributed to cost escalations given how long it may have taken to fully buy out a specific trade. Compare across jobs and identify areas to improve buyout processes to reduce cost risks in the future.
Evaluate buyout variances and corresponding COs to identify lessons learned.
Drill down on why certain scope buyouts resulted in unanticipated increases to commitment costs. Track trends across all scopes to understand the full impact of the final project buyout.
Monitor labor productivity and manage risks to job margins.
Use Kroo to pull real-time data for actual unit costs to compare with budgeted unit costs to ensure your job stays within budget. Know where your labor units are underperforming and be proactive.
Stay on top of equipment utilization rates.
Optimize utilization of equipment and compare actual hours with available hours to maximize ROI on your assets. Foster a culture of efficient equipment usage to support future success on bids.
Protect yourself against delay claims.
Tracking and showing labor productivity metrics help justify progress billings and protect against claims of delay.
Free up your team to do more. Reduce the hours wasted on inputting data multiple times.
Construction teams often have to manually input the same information across multiple systems, and this is a process that easily burns resources. Kroo allows you to keep systems in sync via our Reverse ETL approach.
Enforce data cleanliness across your software.
Keeping systems in sync with each other facilitates better data cleanliness. This is important for supporting useful dashboards, analytics, and AI capabilities as your company scales.
Developers can track all of their active projects across various GCs.
Kroo enables developers to easily extract data from the software that their GCs use (e.g. Procore, Oracle Primavera P6, Autodesk Construction Cloud), so that they can know exactly what's going on. Create more transparency on budget risks, schedule risks, and delivery risks.
Owner's reps can track multiple jobs for various owners at the same time.
Kroo enables owner's representatives to easily extract data from the software that their clients are using on behalf of the GCs. Owner's representatives are able to access the raw data to present insightful takeaways to their owner clients across all of their active jobs.
GCs can access data from their joint-venture partners for a more accurate perspective.
Kroo enables GCs to tap into specific project data from their joint-venture GC partners so that they can build more comprehensive analytics as it relates to cost-sharing and risk-sharing.
Stop letting inconsistent data ruin your analytics.
Construction teams lose faith in dashboards when the data is inconsistent across jobs. Whether it's inconsistent budget cost coding, schedule task IDs, RFI descriptions, daily log completions, or something else, Kroo helps you pull the right data to monitor data inconsistencies.
Easily set custom rules and parameters for data inputs that you care about.
Use Kroo to set up data monitors for specific data fields across your software. Kroo's data connectors will pick up any deviations from your custom rules and provide corresponding alerts for corrective action.
Daily compliance made easy with visualizations.
Construction teams across projects may not follow your company's SOP when it comes to daily compliance. Visualizing various compliance datapoints from your software helps your team stay on top of compliance requirements.
Maintain historical evidence for potential claims and audits.
Kroo helps store your relevant data used for daily compliance requirements in a data warehouse managed by Kroo. Use your database to protect against any claims or audits.
Establishing your data strategy is #1.
No AI tool will work unless you have established the proper data foundations. Kroo helps position your team with the appropriate best-in-class data infrastructure with data pipelines and data warehousing to ensure your team is ready to leverage AI capabilities.
Accelerate your AI-readiness and beat your peers.
Kroo accelerates your team's data maturity so that you can start evaluating powerful AI tools, all without hiring a data team. Kroo handles all of the fundamental data infrastructure that will support your future AI goals.
Analyze baseline project schedules using standard DCMA criteria.
Kroo allows construction teams to quickly upload baseline project schedules and instantly receive a schedule health assessment based on the DCMA 14-Point Criteria.
Drill down on specific schedule tasks.
Kroo enables project teams to get granular and drill down to the task level to understand drivers of poor schedule health as defined by the DCMA 14-Point Criteria.
Gain full visibility into your entire backlog.
Construction teams combine hard and soft backlog numbers from their ERP (e.g. Sage, CMiC, Viewpoint Vista, Acumatica) and CRM software (e.g. Unanet, Salesforce) to have a complete picture of their company's anticipated construction volume for the current year and future years.
Analyze your backlog breakdown to determine where the company can focus on growth.
Construction teams leverage backlog dashboards to guide strategic focus for the company moving forward. Business development members can understand where they can drive new and repeat business.
