Fieldwire by Hilti

Streamlined operations, enhanced productivity, and timely project delivery within the budget are highly valued in the construction industry. Though technology has simplified these complex tasks for professionals in the industry, most job-site management tools available are still disconnected point solutions. For instance, consider using one tool for task management, another for plan viewing, and a separate one for reporting. Each tool operates in isolation, with limited interoperability. This disjointed approach creates silos of information, leading to inefficiencies, and miscommunication, preventing seamless collaboration across the project lifecycle.

Recognizing the challenge, Fieldwire by Hilti has set out to change the game around construction management by building an integrated ecosystem that connects every facet of construction— from on-site tasks to the macro-level operations of the entire company.

“We provide true value by offering an intelligently integrated arsenal of easy-to-use tools that solve a broader breadth of problems,” says Yves Frinault, founder and CEO, Fieldwire.

Fieldwire’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Initially known for its field management capabilities, the platform’s introduction of project management features has propelled the company into full-fledged construction management. Today, it caters to a wide spectrum of needs, from ease of communication between the field and office to complex project management, effectively becoming a one-stop shop for customers.

Fieldwire’s journey took a significant leap forward with its acquisition by one of the largest construction technology companies, Hilti, two years ago. This partnership has been a resounding success, expanding Fieldwire’s reach and resources. In addition to extending Fieldwire’s reach into new markets, the collaboration also allows for integration with other Hilti products, such as ON!Track and more. Hilti’s recent acquisition of 4PS Group, which specializes in software solutions for construction ERP business management, is another step into providing solutions that cover the entire value chain of its customers.

Fieldwire is the best option from a task management and performance standpoint, providing access to information, streamlining coordination of labor in the field, and reporting of progress. With the seamless integration of project management features, Fieldwire bridges the gap between field and office. Its quick deployment and user-friendly interface also make it an ideal platform for teams of any size.

“Our newly launched project management feature functionalities incorporating submittals, RFI, and change orders constitute the trifecta that needs to be perfected if money has to be made on a jobsite,” says Javed Singha, founder and COO, Fieldwire.

The small discussions that start on-site, whether it is about unforeseen challenges or design discrepancies, can be quickly escalated into formalized contract changes like RFIs and change orders, all within the same platform. This fluid transition is a game-changer for the industry, simplifying communication and decision-making. The workflow management capabilities also lead to efficient and accurate work, ultimately saving time and enhancing financial tracking.

It’s the balance between robust functionality and simplicity that sets Fieldwire apart. The platform is designed for self-deployment and self-training, eliminating the need for lengthy contracts and deployments before users can experience the product. Fieldwire’s dedication to user-friendliness has resulted in high adoption rates, with users finding it intuitive and efficient.

Though its products are built out based on the company’s vision forward, customer feedback is also integral to its product development strategy, with a robust feedback loop ensuring that every conversation contributes to refining and prioritizing future features. These constant efforts to improve the solutions portfolio have helped Fieldwire to expand across the U.S, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

Fieldwire’s journey is a testament to the construction industry’s ongoing quest for greater efficiency and effectiveness. By breaking down silos and building an integrated ecosystem, the company is a visionary force reshaping the construction landscape.
