Even in a housing crisis, labor uncertainty is one of the toughest challenges to tackle in residential construction. Zonda’s team previewed a real-time discovery tool that syncs with manufacturing supply chains, which will help deliver more quality housing completions in record time, the company said.
Now in beta, the soon-to-be launched innovation pinpoints labor availability and usage for builders by region, offering competitive intelligence into trades usage by other builders; offers building product manufacturers (BPMs) wallet share of builder market by region and insights into laborers doing the install work and provides trades with wallet share of the builder market by regions, along with competitive analysis against other trades.
“We’re all aware that today’s tech and data ecosystem isn’t conducive to transparency — to help BPMs, builders and the trades know where the labor is tight, what my market penetration is and who is winning the install work,” said Jeff Meyers, CEO at Zonda. “The broad reach of our business and the increasing number of touchpoints Zonda has within the industry allows us to do just that. Beyond some futuristic idea, we have the pipeline in beta right now.”
That pipeline was built by Doug Heady, senior vice president, who recently joined Zonda.
Zonda’s next generation data solution will be accessible to current clients by early summer.
