Industrial AI Application Empowering Teams to Compete Faster & Win

Pomerleau announces launch of the first module of Almanac an AI Powered Price Estimation Application built in partnership with Zetane

Zetane proudly partners with Pomerleau working hard to launch the first module of their Almanac application. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken the world by storm with generative AI garnering a lot of attention, many speculating about harnessing the power and potential of AI. Zetane is uniquely positioned to help companies take this power and potential and make it a reality for their business.

Almanac is an AI powered price estimation tool turning heads enabling teams to compete faster and win.

Pomerleau has been working for several years on integrating AI into its business and has proudly unveiled one of their first applications developed to empower their estimation team called Almanac.

When construction leader Pomerleau approached us with this artificial intelligence enabled estimation solution, the vision proposed was large and ambitious. We loved it! The team at Zetane helped decompose the innovation into a series of building blocks separating AI related work from the rest.

We insisted on defining measurable business KPIs that had to be achieved, we worked tirelessly with end users to understand how the AI needed to be consumed and what needed to be demonstrated for it to be trusted, and then assembled a team to deliver all of it. Working with innovative business thinkers at Pomerleau ensured the project’s success.

How does this new AI powered application work?

The Almanac application is a decision-making tool enabling Pomerleau to move quickly with precise project information employing powerful AI. Using past historical data from previous projects, Almanac can quickly provide price estimations based on various parameters including project types, scope, expertise, geographical location etc. This process previously would be exceptionally complex, costly and time consuming, but with Almanac’s AI capabilities, estimations can be turned around quickly without sacrificing quality or precision.

How does this support the business?

The construction industry is complex and high-risk requiring significant effort from estimating teams to establish a price for a project. Labor shortages provide additional limitations for companies’ capacity in building infrastructure in the construction industry.

Almanac enables rapid AI powered evaluation of a project’s price with the necessary high level of accuracy. This creates considerable time savings which enables teams to refocus their energy and allows them to provide greater value.

Zetane has been specializing in high-risk industries with a focus on providing powerful AI tools and solutions emphasizing transparency, accuracy and quality. Zetane never stops innovating, some exciting new features to come for this project include:

• AI Powered automated extraction of quantities of different element to be estimated on a project from bid documents
• AI Powered estimation of the bid price for a project to win based on various parameters

The role of the Almanac estimator will become more and more impactful by reducing clerical, repetitive tasks, adding speed to the estimation process and providing a competitive edge empowering teams to focus on the bids they wish to win at the right price.

What is great about partnering with Zetane: we have experience in high-risk industries. We never keep your data. You can ensure the protection of your clients, company and data using trusted AI acceleration tools, never sacrificing quality, security or control.
