BOSTON, MA – FLOORCLOUD™, a breakthrough technology platform developed and tested over the past two years to improve jobsite quality control, has been launched by Construction Connectivity, Inc. This solution helps contractors professionalize and protect their businesses by monitoring jobsite climate conditions in real time, enabling them to immediately recognize issues as they occur. With FLOORCLOUD, contractors easily record process steps and other important information by capturing photos, documenting key activities, assigning tasks and archiving it all securely within a cloud-based job file.
FLOORCLOUD consists of web-enabled mobile and desktop software, 4G cellular-connected climate sensors, and a proprietary product specification database of leading flooring industry brands.
“The platform was engineered to be remarkably intuitive for usage on virtually any type of flooring installation jobsite,” declared Scott Banda, the company’s Co-Founder and President. “As it scales across North America, it will continually save our industry hundreds of millions of dollars annually regarding avoidable failures.”
The unique FLOORCLOUD platform is supported by industry-leading organizations such as Starnet, Fuse Alliance, FCI, INSTALL, NWFA and the NTCA. The platform allows contractors to create a project record, segment it into sectors, select sundry and finished flooring products from its database, monitor ambient conditions in real-time, and compare them all to manufacturers’ specifications. Alert notifications can be viewed instantly, down to the details of variance from specification, or by intuitive graphs of hourly temperature, humidity and dew point data. Additionally, all information gathered, including photos of batch codes, substrate and jobsite conditions and tasks performed can be captured and easily shared with other stakeholders, optimizing communication and resolving issues as they occur.
FLOORCLOUD’s desktop application offers additional functionality, such as the ability to administer user access, view all projects and sensor status in map view and generate summary reports. The company has partnered with Wagner Meters in developing the capability to read its Rapid RH in situ probe sensors using BlueTooth™ technology. Patrick Mullins, the company’s Co-Founder & Executive Vice President, stated, “Our relationship with Wagner Meters is going to produce one of the most transformative, labor-saving benefits the industry has yet seen!”
Mark Bischoff, President and CEO of Starnet (and a FLOORCLOUD Advisory Board member) added, “Contractors and manufacturers now have the opportunity to use mobile technology as a labor management tool, ensuring best practices and productivity. This optimizes consistency of behavior over multiple projects, with a widely diverse workforce mixed between union and non-union, as well as employees and subcontractors.”
FLOORCLOUD’s Manufacturer Verified™ partner program is free to manufacturers that provide their data to the company, which clearly demonstrates to contractors a commitment of their brand to job site quality assurance.
The company is seeking leading contractors across North America, offering a 30-day free trial. Ideal companies undertake high liability projects in the commercial construction sector, and embrace the use of new technology as a competitive advantage. Visit www.floorcloud.com for more details.
