Edify replaces stodgy paper processes with engaging mobile apps and leverages the data to provide valuable insights and recommendations to leadership. Basically, they use AI and mobile apps to improve safety in construction.
In addition, Edify is hyper-focused on engaging front-line workers to help them be safe. They gather large amounts of data from every worker, every day. Then, they combine this data with AI to help workers practice safe behaviors and identify where risks lie. As a result, workers can stop incidents before they happen.

Aecus offers a suite of modular solutions that are targeted for specific outcomes, including energy conservation, predictive maintenance, smarter security management, and more. Whether it’s a 300-square-foot retail store or a 300-key hotel, Aecus understands how smart building solutions should be designed and deployed to ensure optimal performance.

Digital Masterplanning is a cloud-based platform built to centralize, de-risk, and accelerate the real estate and infrastructure development process.
The real estate and infrastructure development process is mired with inefficient and ineffective software. Rather than working towards solutions, software creators have instead focused on maintaining market dominance by impeding cross-platform integration.
Who pays the price? Users, who are forced into cumbersome workflows to accommodate sub-optimal tools, do.
Above all, Digital Masterplanning believes in progress. They pursue radical disruptions defined by sustainability, equity, efficiency, and effectiveness. That is to say, they are here to transform the ways in which people plan, design, shape, and understand the built environment.
