Reducing Project Delays by 40% with Real-Time Data Integration
Global Construction Inc., a leading construction company managing over $500M in active projects, was struggling with data silos across their project management systems. Critical information was scattered across multiple platforms, leading to delays, miscommunication, and costly project overruns.

Before implementing Plinth API, the company relied on manual data entry and weekly reports to track project progress. This meant that decision-makers were always working with outdated information, leading to reactive rather than proactive management. When issues arose, it could take days to identify the root cause and coordinate a response across different systems.
The Challenge
- Disconnected Systems. Project data was spread across 8 different platforms including ERP, scheduling, BIM, and field management tools. Teams spent hours manually consolidating information for status reports.
- Delayed Decision Making. Critical project decisions were delayed by 3-5 days due to the time required to gather and validate data from multiple sources. This resulted in cascading delays across dependent activities.
- Data Quality Issues. Manual data entry led to a 15% error rate in project reports. These errors compounded over time, making it difficult to trust historical data for future planning.
The company needed a solution that could unify their disparate systems without requiring them to replace existing tools that teams had invested years in learning and customizing.
The Solution
Plinth API provided a unified data layer that connected all of Global Construction's existing systems. Rather than forcing them to adopt a new platform, Plinth seamlessly integrated with their current toolset, creating a single source of truth for project data.
Within 6 weeks of implementation, all 15 active projects were connected through Plinth API. Project managers could now see real-time updates across scheduling, resource allocation, budget tracking, and quality control from a single interface.
"Plinth transformed how we manage our projects. What used to take us days to compile now happens in real-time. We can spot issues before they become problems and make decisions based on current data, not last week's reports."

Data Accuracy Rate
The impact was immediate and measurable. Project delays dropped by 40% in the first quarter after implementation. The company saved an estimated $2M annually by reducing rework, optimizing resource allocation, and catching issues early.
Beyond the quantitative results, the cultural shift was equally significant. Teams became more proactive, using real-time data to anticipate problems rather than react to them. Cross-functional collaboration improved as everyone worked from the same up-to-date information.
Looking Forward
Following this success, Global Construction Inc. is now expanding their use of Plinth API to include supplier integration and predictive analytics. They're building on their unified data foundation to gain even deeper insights into project performance and risk management.
