Increased data integrity by eliminating manual entry points and merging changes in real time. GIS Dashboards: Developed real time dashboards to track construction, permitting, and design in GIS systems. Data from Fulcrum was used to track construction, Render for engineering, Smartsheet for permitting. All data was merged and displayed on Google Maps for high level views and QGIS Server for details.Accounting Automation: Developed automated process for generating invoices based on actual construction progress. Created an early payment program where Subcontractors could get paid faster in exchange for a small discount on their invoice. This successful program saved the company 1-4% on construction labor costs. Show less
