Construction companies across the country were struggling with outdated methods of project monitoring—relying heavily on manual data handling and post-facto analysis. With the reliance on .xer files from Primavera P6 and no real-time monitoring, stakeholders lacked visibility into project health, resulting in delays, inefficiencies, and reporting bottlenecks.

Addressing the Gaps in Real-Time Tracking
“Why are we always finding issues after the fact?” That was the question haunting project managers and executives alike. Without any real-time lens into the project lifecycle, teams were navigating blind. Primavera P6 generated .xer files filled with valuable data, but without transformation, that data was unusable.
Imagine project analysts spending days wrestling with spreadsheets, just to calculate earned value or trend variance. Each report was a delayed snapshot—never truly up to date, never entirely accurate. And every change required a fresh round of manual updates. Timelines slipped. Resources were misaligned. And most critically, decision-makers were always reacting, never anticipating.
It was clear: construction project tracking needed to move from reactive to real-time.
Project analysts were spending endless hours cleaning and merging data from Primavera P6 files into spreadsheets. Every update meant starting over — delaying insights and wasting valuable time.
Decision-makers were always looking at yesterday’s numbers. Reports were static, meaning no live view of project health or performance trends. This made it impossible to react quickly when timelines or budgets started slipping.
Complex spreadsheets couldn’t tell the story behind the numbers. Executives had no quick way to see which projects were on track, which were behind, and why. They needed visuals that could turn raw data into clear, interactive insights.
Each team, from scheduling to finance, was working in its own silo. Data wasn’t centralized, making it difficult to align on a single version of truth. Communication gaps increased the risk of misunderstanding project priorities.
