Trackunit publishes study for data sharing in construction

The “Blueprint” brings together ideas, concepts and use cases to create a new dynamic around shared data and thus encourage the creation of new innovative products and services.

The construction industry has come to a tipping point. The global pandemic has fueled a sudden surge in the adoption of new sharing technologies, which has accelerated digital transformation.

This study brings together use cases and value propositions co-created by industry leaders. The results are compiled from several hackathons and extensive field research over the past few months. The results share all the keys to success for companies in the construction industry to encourage them to use data as a shared resource. The study gives you concrete advice on how to improve site safety, the health of the equipment fleet and internal processes to reduce waste and increase sustainability and profitability.

This report illustrates the close connections between different members of the construction ecosystem and how collaboration can be achieved through key touchpoints to reduce friction and increase gains in business relationships.

The report consists of three parts:

• An introduction to data sharing in construction,
• The framework of the elements of success,
• and finally, a chapter on concrete approaches for companies to advance data sharing.

Soeren Brogaard, CEO, Trackunit, explains “While the construction sector was sadly seen as one of the least digitized sectors, today we have reached a tipping point where there is a marked acceleration in the use of digital solutions by the sector. A year ago, businesses - across industries - suddenly realized they had to embrace digital tools to keep operating and managing remotely, if needed. The construction industry was no exception. The “Blueprint” is our contribution to help companies and organizations in our sector find a common language to talk about data sharing and explore opportunities for partnerships and business impact in an increasingly digitalized market environment.
