The software combines project development, procurement, and construction management into a streamlined pipeline. We bring an industry spesific Project Development CRM, Bid Management Tools and Project Management Software in one easy-to-useplatform which integrates easily with other most used software in the industry. Even thought the construction industry accounts for 13% of the world’s GDP, there's been a global problem of poor productivity within the industry as productivity growth has increased only 1% over the past 20 years. From the real estate developers and general contractors point of view, the biggest issue is the projects that turn unprofitable unexpectedly. One unprofitable project destroys the whole year profits and another one can bankrupt the entire company. Most of the decisions that affect the success of a project are made before construction begins, but still there are no smart tools available for that stage to help the construction companies avoid unprofitable projects. We solve this global problem by bringing the most critical steps to the success of a construction project on the same platform.

Nicolas is a firm believer of “culture-first” companies and am focused on building just that at Algolia where team empowerment is how they accomplish their goals. Prior to co-founding Algolia with Julien, he spent over 12 years working on information retrieval at Exalead and Thales.At Algolia they believe every website and app deserves greatsearch! they offer a hosted Search API that helps developers deliver an instant and relevant search experience. We’ve seen that search is a great touch point to optimize – they regularly see double digit increases in engagement on sites when they improve their search UX.When they founded Algolia in 2012 it was originally going to be a local SDK for mobile app search. They changed direction and realized that they needed to offer search as a hosted SaaS service, but it was those early mobile optimizations that gave us their unique advantage. They are one of the few search solutions that has been developed from scratch, and they never would have gone that direction if they hadn’t originally been focused on mobile search.His focus has been first and foremost on making Algolia a great place to work. They have a unique culture here that values ownership as its pillar. They want to create a company where every team member takes initiative, gets out of their comfort zone, is empowered to make decisions; in short: be free to be their best.He is recently spoken at SaaStock on the challenges of running a company based in both Paris and San Francisco. His priority lately has been on scaling their growth and ramping up their team size.
