| Construction is the second least digitized sector in the world with 96% of all data being unused. Although detailed planning data is created upfront, a lack of suitable digital tools prevents its transfer to the construction site. SPECTER’s web-based construction management software uniquely incorporates the core components of constructionplanning, reducing the organizational burden on construction management and helping to meet project timelines and budgets. | $5.4M / Seed / Mar 26, 2025 | ||
