The Push for Progress

Overcoming data overload in construction management

Capmo, a European leader in SaaS construction management solutions, has raised over €30 million in funding and generates annual revenues surpassing that figure. Working with major industry players, including one of Germany’s largest construction firms and a prominent European real estate developer, Capmo has become a key partner in addressing the industry’s most pressing challenges. Among these is the staggering inefficiency of scattered information management: a construction company with 100 employees can waste more than €500,000 annually due to time lost searching for data.

The issue is not just the sheer volume of project data but its fragmented nature. Information is often scattered across micro-services and stored in disparate formats such as scans, images, and other unstructured documents, making it difficult to access crucial insights when needed. Project managers are bogged down by repetitive searches and administrative tasks, while critical strategic decisions are delayed. Without a more efficient approach, construction firms face heightened risks of delays, increased costs, and missed opportunities in an industry where speed and precision are vital.

Shaping Solutions from Technology

Collaborating to build an AI-powered management tool

To address these challenges, Capmo AI was developed as a comprehensive solution for more intuitive data management. The tool leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) and a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system to allow project managers and teams to retrieve and analyze project data in real-time. Whether querying structured databases or searching through unstructured documents, Capmo AI provides fast and accurate insights, minimizing time spent searching for critical information, with precise reference to original material.

The system was designed with scalability in mind, ensuring it could handle large datasets and support an increasing number of users across various teams. The focus was on integrating a system that simplifies data access and optimizes workflows. The result is a platform that enables faster responses to ongoing project needs, significantly improving how data is accessed and utilized across teams.

Zaneffi brought critical expertise to this project, from LLM integration to designing a scalable backend infrastructure for growing user demands. With a focus on AI governance and cloud systems optimization, Zaneffi’s contributions ensured that the platform would be efficient, reliable, and secure for large-scale construction projects. This allowed for a robust, seamless user experience without the risk of performance degradation or bottlenecks.

Delivering Lasting Results

Transforming construction management with AI

Capmo AI has already delivered measurable improvements in project management efficiency for several major clients. By automating manual data retrieval tasks, the platform has reduced the workload on project managers by 38%, allowing them to focus on more strategic responsibilities. Real-time access to both structured and unstructured data has reduced defect management times by 50%, helping projects stay on track and reducing delays. Document search times have decreased by 82%, freeing up valuable time for teams to focus on high-priority tasks.

Capmo AI is designed to scale as client needs evolve. Future enhancements, such as more advanced predictive analytics and increased automation, will further enhance the platform's capabilities. These improvements will ensure construction teams continue to optimize their workflows, driving productivity and maintaining a competitive edge in the industry.
