Trades & Field

Automation for construction.

Construction runs on documents that move between parties on a deadline. Submittals, RFIs, change orders, lien waivers, certificates of insurance. A Convoy CIS keeps the document trail current so the schedule stops slipping on paperwork.

01 / The friction

What we map first.

Before anything gets built, we go and look. These are the patterns we expect to find in a construction operation. The recon confirms which ones are actually costing you, and which are fine as they are.

  • Change orders agreed verbally and papered late, or never
  • RFIs and submittals tracked in email with no view of what is overdue
  • Subcontractor insurance certificates expiring unnoticed
  • Draw requests assembled by hand from four systems
  • Job costing that only becomes clear after the job is finished
02 / The build

What a CIS would run.

Scoped and priced from the recon, deployed in your environment, owned by you. A human stays in command of every judgement call.

01

Document control

Submittals, RFIs and change orders tracked to a status with the next action named.

02

Sub compliance

Certificates and waivers monitored to their expiry, with requests sent before they lapse.

03

Draw requests

Assembled from the source systems rather than rebuilt each month.

04

Live job cost

Committed cost against budget, current, instead of a post-mortem.

03 / The dashboard

This is how your board could look.

A command view built for Construction. Click an agent to see what it owns, switch a unit on, or add a panel. Nothing here is real data.

Illustrative only. Every figure here is invented to show the shape of the board. Convoy has no shipped builds yet and does not present demo numbers as client results.

04 / Wired into

Your tools stay your tools.

A CIS integrates rather than replaces. These are the systems we would expect to wire into here. If yours is not listed, it is almost certainly still workable.

05 / Deploy

Start with a recon.

We study your real operation before writing a single line. Tell us how you move, and we will map where a CIS earns its place.

No cost. No obligation. We will tell you if a CIS does not earn its place.
