Ontario Construction News special feature
Theย Hilti Group says it is collaborating withย Procore to help strengthen digital workflows and drive productivity on jobsites. As part of the joint effort,ย Hilti ON!Trackย asset management systemย will become compatible for Procore platform users. The announcement was made during Procoreโs Groundbreak 2019, one of the largest construction conferences in the U.S.
โProcore is a market leader with software core to the operations of many of our customers in North America. The way Procore expands ease of use by offering interoperability across usersโ software aligns well with Hiltiโs goal to provide digital solutions that fit how our customers work,โ Rafael Garcia, senior vice-president of marketing at Hilti North America, said in a statement. โThis is a first step in establishing a long-standing relationship.โ
In recent years, Hilti says it has made major efforts to digitize the construction industry with software solutions.ย Hilti ON!Trackย is specifically designed to give contractors visibility into who has their assets.ย Smartphone scanning and active Bluetooth tags help track items moved between warehouses and jobsites. It also enables contractors to proactively manage repairs and inspections, set reminders for maintenance and verify proper training and certifications before assigning certain assets.
The API will open data exchange betweenย Hilti ON!Track and Procore, starting with basic project info and expanding over time into further seamless workflows. Procore users appreciate the benefits of reduced duplicate data entry of the same information into multiple spreadsheets or workflows. Customers using both Procore and ON!Track suggest for example that an open item from Procoreโs Tasks tool to request a piece of equipment could be checked off once the transfer is scanned and signed within the Hilti ON!Track App.
โWe are excited to work with trusted names in our industry like Hilti,โ saidย Rusty Reed, Chief Strategy Officer. โTechnology usage continues to expand into the field and the integration of Hilti ON!Track and Procore will play a big role in supporting the needs of contractors who use both. Weโre glad Hilti will be part of the embedded experience moving forward.
