Data stuck in software silos has limited value. And having staff manually extract data from multiple sources from the field and office to try and make sense of it all wastes precious time and money.
But now, Topcon is taking the complication out of connecting data with its acquisition of Digital Construction Works (DCW), a construction software and data integrations and services company.
In an announcement at a ConExpo-Con/Agg media preview day, Topcon said DCW’s services and software integration platform will help customers navigate and maximize the use of construction data made available across multiple apps and software.
“You can’t just skip over from design to build because after you design, you go to the dirt. Those systems have to connect,” said Mark Cantino, vice president, North American retail distribution. “We connect with the right players because every contractor that wants to be different can be. They can pick the tools for that.”
By understanding data generated from every phase of the project, construction business owners can make better-informed business decisions. Automating the transfer of that data helps owners get to those decisions faster.
Now, with DCW as part of Topcon, the integration platform enhances the value of Topcon’s interoperability with third-party software typically used to execute machine-guided operations.
