AI-assisted planning of drone flight paths over active job sites, with automatic report generation from field imagery. Teams that plan missions by hand spend 30 to 60 minutes per site; automated planning produces compliant flight plans in under 30 seconds and cuts site reporting from hours to minutes.
OCR and AI extraction of handwritten and digital subcontractor timesheets, with variance validation and certified payroll output. A general contractor processing 300 handwritten timesheets a week reduced full-day manual parsing to 20 minutes and cut payroll error rates by 70 percent.
AI extraction of bill of materials data from CAD and PLM systems, cross-checked against supplier catalogs to build RFQ packages in minutes instead of days. Faster quoting supports more bids without adding procurement headcount.
Automated collection and validation of DOT compliance records, vehicle maintenance data, and safety documentation, with alerts before deadlines. Consistent records keep fleet availability high and simplify regulatory inspections.
In construction, operational data is everywhere and connected nowhere. Field teams generate timesheets, punch lists, and site imagery on paper or on devices that never sync back to headquarters. Procurement teams chase quotes across email and spreadsheets. Safety and compliance staff maintain records in separate systems. The result is slow decision-making, payroll errors, missed deadlines, and procurement costs that quietly compound across every project.
Consolidating these diverse operational data sources under one system is typically time consuming, expensive, and hard to scale. Many firms attempt an in-house build and quickly realize the engineering effort it takes to do it correctly cannot be spared. The firms that solve this first gain a foundation for business intelligence and AI use cases that span estimating, operations, and compliance, and that evolve as project needs change.
Shakudo serves as the centralized operating layer for all the construction organization's operational data, providing complete visibility and control. It offers data teams and analysts an integrated platform to develop and deploy applications utilizing the industry's best-in-breed tools, with security and privacy controls at the center of the solution.
