How Johnstone Construction transformed their business with Acuite

Challenge

Software and data in siloes and out of date

Johnstone Construction prides itself on being ahead of the curve – especially when it comes to technology adoption. However, in 2014 their software operated in siloes so data insights weren’t shared across the business.

Their first response was to build their own central analytics system to process and access the information.

Solution

Acuite’s dashboards & integrations

Looking around the team found Acuite Construction Intelligence. Acuite had just closed a million-dollar funding round and were barely out of beta-testing. But when Hugh saw the product in action on a demo, he knew he had to have it.

Acuite is easier to use & was cheaper than building in-house.

How it works

Data is pulled together in Acuite and is then available to view on dashboards accessible across the business. This means the data is real, it hasn’t been altered by several pairs of hands to suit individuals own requirements and is relevant because it is in real time.

Don’t just take our word for it

Acuite is critical infrastructure, it saves us 40 hours per project per month and removed the stress and cost of managing our own system.

Integrations

Company wide improvements

Central and accessible information means that Hugh and the team can pick up issues earlier. A recent $14 million project had issues with the quality of consented floorings. Hugh saw this could cause massive work delays because the response time for requests for information (RFI’s) for that contractor was extending to over 120 days and needed to be addressed ASAP.

One button board reports

Acuite’s one button reporting has been integral to improving Foster’s HSE performance across the company as they produce a monthly board report from Acuite data.

Don’t just take our word for it

We had specific requirements around month-end lock off and cost forecasting that were not present in Procore. Upon Procore’s recommendation we engaged with Acuite. We have loved working with the Acuite team. It feels like a proper partnership where they are invested to help us get value from their product. Highly recommend.

It’s about choosing the best platform for the business that speaks to our processes. With Procore feeding into Acuite along with the program and financials, we are getting consistent information from all the project teams meaning one system to report and track performance of our projects.
Graeme Harvey
Construction Director, Dominion Constructors
The month end reporting process, specifically for HSEQ, was an extremely manual and laborious task where our teams were having to download individual reports, copy and paste data then hand off to another team to assist in visualizing this for easier consumption. Acuite has been a godsend with the product being almost out of the box to suit our needs.
Shelley Van-Hoos
Head of Technology, Martinus Rail
Acuite plays a crucial role in filling the gaps of transparency and visibility in our financial activities, offering both point-in-time and real-time data. As a result, we have experienced increased productivity.
Damin JAKYMCZUK
Director of Construction, Lowe Living
Acuite has been a game-changer, it’s not just for reporting. It absolutely has gone into the data-driven, decision-making realm in that we’re actually using that information for some really powerful, proactive responses to the way we manage projects on site and also in the way we plan for the future.
