No-code workflow platform connecting field data to BIM models
Flexible database and team collaboration platform for AEC that captures photos and field data on mobile devices and connects them directly to Revit models and floor plans. Streamlines coordination between field teams and design/construction teams.

Why This Tool Exists
AEC teams struggle to coordinate between field operations and design/construction teams. Field workers collect photos and data manually, then teams spend hours manually transferring information into BIM models and coordination documents. Critical data about as-built conditions, RFIs, and punch items gets scattered across emails, photos, and paper notes instead of being linked to the design model.
No-code platform captures field data (photos, notes, measurements) directly via iOS/Android apps and connects them to Revit models through a dedicated plugin. Data automatically links to floor plans and 3D models, eliminating manual data transfer. Teams can generate reports, mark drawings, and collaborate without copying information between systems.
