About a decade ago, two construction companies approached Syscon with a problem. They were committed to capturing field time but could not find an application that offered the Sage 100 Contractor integration and flexibility their workflows required. Syscon evaluated the available options, found them too limited and worked with the two contractors to build a solution. The solution became the Field Integrated Time (FIT) System. Its development has continued along the same lines. Contractors bring Syscon problems from their daily work, and the platform evolves around those needs. “Every single feature that the FIT system has, it’s been built based on client requests,” says Christopher Wendt, Vice President of Technology Solutions at Syscon. Making Field Data Easier to Capture FIT is designed around the information each construction company actually needs. One contractor may require a work order when an employee enters hours, another may make it optional and a third may not display the field at all. The platform also automates information that can be calculated, reducing manual selections.

A home may be a homeowner’s largest asset, yet knowing how to maximize its value is rarely straightforward. They may know the property could be worth more but still be unsure whether to renovate, how extensively to invest or if a larger opportunity, such as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), makes sense. The uncertainty can become harder to act on when pursuing any of those options, which also means finding and coordinating multiple professionals. Revive is a vertically integrated platform that helps homeowners assess what is possible with their property, develop a plan around their goals and carry that plan through execution. It combines property assessment, ROI-focused planning and renovation execution, reducing the need to coordinate multiple professionals and pay for the renovation before completion. “Revive makes it easy for homeowners to flip or develop their property,” says Michael Alladawi, CEO. Building the Right Renovation Plan Revive begins by understanding a property and the homeowner’s objective. A free discovery process that combines technology and human input helps evaluate the property and determine its potential. Its Revive AI uses computer vision to assess photos of the home and compare them with recently sold homes nearby, giving the planning process additional information for developing a renovation strategy and evaluating the property’s potential future value.
