WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

AEC teams spend hours manually collecting and analyzing data from disparate design tools to understand software usage, license spending, productivity bottlenecks, and system reliability issues. Without real-time visibility, firms over-provision licenses, miss training opportunities, and fail to identify performance problems until they impact project schedules.

The Solution

Automatically captures real-time metrics from Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, Rhino, Bluebeam, and other AEC tools and stores data in user-controlled Elasticsearch instances. Generates unified dashboards showing license usage, user productivity, tool performance, system crashes, and cost optimization opportunities. Teams can identify efficiency gains and training needs within minutes instead of days.
