Breaking Down Data Silos

September 18, 2024

How IMAGINiT’s Pulse can help you bring all your data under one roof.

Construction project management often requires juggling multiple software platforms, creating a maze of disconnected data. IMAGINiT tackles this industry-wide challenge head-on with our newly developed migration tool, IMAGINiT Pulse. This sophisticated solution seamlessly transfers project data from Procore to Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), addressing the complex needs of AEC professionals working across multiple environments.

The Challenge

As Adam Jurczak, Construction Solutions Expert at IMAGINiT, points out, "It takes a number of programs to deliver a project." This leads to disconnected workflows between owners, designers, and construction team members. The need to enter data twice and manage countless emails creates inefficiencies and risks in project delivery.

The Solution

IMAGINiT's Clarity solution has evolved into a more tactical approach powered by IMAGINiT Pulse, a proprietary data exchange model. Vince Danielle, Construction Team Manager, explains, "We're utilizing our proprietary data exchange model, IMAGINiT Pulse, to move the information from the Procore system into the Autodesk Construction Cloud."

Key Features

  1. Comprehensive Data Mapping:
    • Project information (name, number, value, address)

    • RFIs with status preservation
    • Cost management data (budgets, change events, contracts)
  1. Custom Field Support: The solution accommodates unique fields, ensuring specialized data is transferred accurately.
  2. Intelligent Issue Mapping: Procore's punch lists, instructions, and observations are mapped to ACC's Issues module.
  3. Cost Management Integration: Detailed mapping of budgets, prime contracts, commitments, and change orders between systems.

Limitations and Workarounds

        Photos are moved to a separate folder in ACC due to API limitations
