LAS VEGAS — In the world of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), rapid project turnaround, effective forecasting, and maintaining high levels of productivity are essential. Yet, as firms increasingly balance immediate project needs with long-term growth opportunities, industry leaders are recognizing a need for more sophisticated tools to anticipate and capitalize on future trends. At the 2024 Trimble Dimensions Conference in Las Vegas, Lucas Hayden, Senior Director of AEC Strategy at Unanet, offered insight into how Unanet is empowering firms to thrive in this complex landscape.

At the conference, Hayden presented Unanet’s approach to providing tailored solutions for AEC firms, with a particular focus on their CRM and ERP technologies. “Our mission is to unify and streamline the workflows that AEC firms naturally use,” Hayden said. “Through our ERP and CRM tools, we enable firms to simplify operations, improve accuracy in forecasting, and ultimately, optimize their decision-making.” By addressing operational bottlenecks, Unanet helps firms improve profitability while encouraging a growth mindset that prioritizes not only project completion but also strategic planning for future opportunities.
