With construction errors and disputes often traced to the disconnect between the jobsite and the office, technology providers are eager to bridge that gap. Bentley Systems, known for its 4D design and operational software, is moving deeper into the jobsite with its field-focused Synchro platform. That effort has led to Bentley’s acquisition of photo- and audio-logging app maker NoteVault, a tool aimed at site personnel.
Announced June 3, the acquisition marks a renewed effort by Bentley to bring more direct field observations into a largely model-driven data approach. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
