Issue 7 2021 27 A Disruptive Force The world of design is changing constantly, with new techniques and technologies revolutionizing how architecture is done. Now now it is possible to design a digital solution that can incorporate specific design aspects at the drop of a hat. Leading the way are the team from Concora, named as Best Building & Construction Experience Management Platform – 2021 in the Corporate Excellence Awards. We take a closer look at how their software has streamlined the workflow for businesses around the world. The modern architect has put down their pen and paper in favour of digital methods of working. Working with software opens the doors to a whole new world of specificity, with the chance to easily adapt a design’s features to suit the needs of the moment. The Alpharettabased Concora has gone one step further, coming up with a seamless way of specifying precisely which building products will be needed for a specific project. For architects, engineers and contractors, it has quickly become an invaluable part of the development process. What sets Concora apart is its position as more than just a solution finder. It’s easy to find a flexible design software solution, but it can be a challenge to find a workflow solution. Concora offers the most advanced workflow, with the option of designing a door, going to a manufacturer’s website and adding the object to the project. With such a comprehensive approach, one which can be continually added to, it’s little wonder that it has gained such high standing within the industry. By giving clients what they need, the ability to craft and submit accurate proposals increases significantly. Concora is ideal for both manufacturers and contractors because it shortens the gap between the two. Concora offers a feature-rich experience for architects to enjoy, alongside the ability for high-quality automated submittals from contractors. The workflow is significantly simplified so that everyone is working from the same page. While the team at Concora offer a seamless user experience on the front end, their work has transformed how manufacturers are able to market their products. Marketing teams are able to use Concora to prequalify customers, generate leads, identify trends and increase sales. Through the use of this incredible amount of data, it’s possible for them to account for any rise in demand so that products are always available when required. For manufacturers, Concora is an incredibly disruptive force, but one which could revolutionize the way in which they work. By offering a path through the technological gap, the team are slowly taking over the commercial side of what building material manufacturers offer. The team’s work is successful, not just because it solves many of the challenges that currently exist within the construction space, promoting better processes for all concerned. As time goes on, it’s clear that Concora has the potential to go even further in what it offers, adding more features to its already formidable output. Perhaps the most useful to clients will be the possibility of incorporating the subcontractor community into the marketing pipeline. This would be done through a new module that could analyze the configuration of products and generate a potential quote for subcontractors. While offering new pathways to customers and clients, the real genius of Concora comes from its ability to help product manufacturers grow and develop in an increasingly competitive environment. By finding ways to put everyone at the same level, it’s possible to more easily compare the results of a project. Few would argue that in the last few years, Concora has not become an invaluable part of the development process, and this is due, in no small part, to the determination of its team to provide a practical solution that is capable of transforming the industry.
