Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), the FYLD fieldwork platform works on standard smart phones and tablets, using cameras, scanning, and written annotations to connect worksites with administration.

“With real-time insights, automated workflows, and video risk assessments, FYLD’s Procore integration offers field teams seamless data sync, proactive decision-making, and mobile access to critical updates – all to keep projects safe and on track,” said FYLD.

The company added it found productivity gains of up to 12% in six weeks for users on the integration. The company said it saw a 48% reduction in safety-related risks, as well.

Procore is the flagship construction management software of Procore Technologies, a US-based company.

FYLD co-founder and CEO Shelley Copsey told Construction Briefing the integration developed after FYLD noted a large volume of their customers were already using Procore.

“But what [those customers were] not getting is the experience of the fieldworker,” said Copsey.

She explained that FYLD’s platform puts more tools in the hand of a fieldworker or surveyor, allowing them to survey a site while transferring valuable data and information (like photos, videos, annotated notes, etc.) to the back office through Procore software.

“It’s quite a natural fit when we can help bring information] from the front office to the frontline and effectively back to the back office,” she said.

“Project managers are going to have a much better view of project risk from a variety of angles, from scheduling to cost from quality to safety. It enables them to make better decisions.”
