Thank you for checking out our quarterly update 👍
The GMS is a GPS specifically for construction contractors. They put in what they want to do, and the GMS uses artificial intelligence to mine, analyze, and leverage, their historical and real time data to autonomously optimize their estimates and schedules...eliminating up to 20% on labor costs!

The GMS team is moving faster than my legs can keep up with!

💻Product Updates: 
We are 2.5 years into the development of the GMS’s artificial intelligent engine, and are on the verge of being able to test its intelligent estimating and autonomous scheduling functions.

💼Business Development:
Our blog, and automated updates workflow has been completed and activated in Hubspot. This saves us time by automating the building of our database and the sending of updates triggered by any blog post.
