Datagrid Co-founder and CTO Dov Amihod demonstrates the construction process AI platform at the Cemex Startup competition at Trimble Dimensions in Las Vegas last November.
Procore, a leading cloud-based construction management platform, said Jan. 20 it has acquired Datagrid to enhance its artificial intelligence strategy and deliver data connectivity for customers. The completed deal, with terms not disclosed, will immediately help contractor customers that seek to autonomously manage submittal reviews and draft requests for information, said Procore.
Datagrid is an AI-powered platform that connects drawings, specs and schedules from several construction and financial management systems into one workspace. Co-founded by CEO Thiago Da Costa and based in San Francisco, the company has seen strong adoption by contractors for everything from process management for submittals and requests for information to financial progress tracking.
The purchase of Datagrid technology, which is designed to work across third-party systems and be data agnostic, gives Procore strength in the agentic AI space and goes beyond suggestions and recommendations available in its current AI offerings such as CoPilots.
In its announcement, Procore said that Datagrid products will immediately be available to its customer, and non customers also.
"While core AI capabilities remain embedded in the Procore platform, the Datagrid offering will support customers with multiple data sources and advanced-reasoning use cases by unifying intelligence, automating intricate tasks, and surfacing critical insights across the complete technology stack," Procore said.
"Modern work has outgrown human capacity for manual processing, said da Costa, who joins Procore in a role to lead AI and data strategy. "Our focus has always been on building an AI that can execute, not just talk. By joining Procore, we can now unlock unprecedented levels of productivity and quality for the thousands of customers who already build on its platform."
