AI-driven construction analytics using Zoho Projects Plus

AI-driven construction analytics using Zoho Projects Plus

Construction projects thrive on timelines; if a project is completed on or before the expected time, it makes headlines, but if it gets delayed, the company’s credibility will be at risk. Such projects require precise planning and constant monitoring, which can be effectively achieved using project management tools. Moreover, modern organizations are looking for AI-driven automated analysis of their projects to predict delays, monitor budget, and obtain a complete perspective. A unified platform that helps manage as well analyze the projects will be an optimal fit. Let's find out how!
 
Business Case

Zylker is a construction company with strong expertise and high credibility. They are currently managing their projects with Zoho Projects, our project management software that helps plan jobs with phases and tasks, visualize timelines with Gantt charts, track budget, store and share documents, and collaborate with team members via feed and messages.
 
Zylker is now looking to use AI to leverage their decision making and predict anomalies early, for which they require analysis reports such as:
  • Predictive analytics: Use powerful AI-forecasting algorithms that analyze your past project data thoroughly to come up with the best forecast for your future projects.
  • What-if analysis: Study potential outcomes when one or more variables like labor, climate, or quality changes in your project. This helps visualize business outcomes and empowers decision making.
  • Auto analysis: Use generative AI, machine learning, and NLP techniques to  process large amounts of raw data into valuable insights and identify trends.
  • Anomaly detection: Spot deviations from the expected behaviour, like a shift in budget or increased material usage, and uncover the reason behind it.
 
Since they require these reports to be built with the data from Zoho Projects, the ideal solution for them is to try out our hybrid project management solution—Zoho Projects Plus—which provides an advanced analytics software with AI-driven capabilities.
