Delivering a product to facilitate pragmatically zero lag collaboration in a construction project

Pragmatyc partnered with client from ideation to development & delivered a team collaboration product, hosted over the cloud and available over Web, iPad, and Android Tab.

Overview 

Our client is a seasoned consultant in the construction industry. With the significant stretches of understanding, he has dismembered a few troubles and required solutions through a product in the construction industry which can revolutionize the way industry is operating now

The first critical success milestone of the project was when Pragmatyc helped the client through its comprehensive R&D efforts to make the key innovations possible justifying the very existence of the product.

The second success milestone was carved with extremely complicated engineering achieved out of integrating all the technological solutions across platforms including cloud backend, web frontend, iPhone, iPad, Android phone & tab. This made the real-time collaboration possible in literally brick & mortar industries like construction saving huge time and money of the projects and adding ease to the life of General Contractors (GCs) and other stakeholders.

Challenges

A construction project generally involves working with thousands of plans, sorting & maintenance of the plans is another challenge.

The scattered geolocations of the stakeholders making the communication and collaboration challenge worse.

Change management is real pain through the layers of challenges stated above increase the risk of compromising accuracy & Quality of the project.

Tracking the current project and maintaining a progress report is another challenge.
