Introducing Galliver X: The Game-Changing AI for the Construction Industry

Introduction

In the construction industry, where the adoption rate of generative AI stands at a mere 26.4%, Asakawa Systems aims to change the game with its innovative ERP solution, Galliver X. Tailored specifically for the construction sector, this fully web-enabled platform boasts an interactive AI agent that allows users to access critical data simply by speaking commands.

The Need for AI in Construction

Despite the promise of AI to improve productivity amid challenges such as the labor shortage and evolving industry demands, the construction sector has lagged significantly behind other industries. According to a survey by Teikoku Databank, the average adoption rate of generative AI across all sectors is 34.5%, highlighting the construction industry's struggle. One of the prominent barriers to AI utilization in construction is the lack of specialized personnel and knowledge, resulting in a scenario where firms express a desire to implement AI but face significant hurdles in mastering its use.

No Expertise Required

Recognizing these challenges, Galliver X is designed to facilitate seamless AI integration without requiring users to have specialized knowledge. The AI features embedded in the system allow users to extract data and generate reports through simple voice commands, eliminating the need for intricate prompts or technical jargon. Here are three standout features of the Galliver X AI agent:

1. Data Inquiries

Users can extract specific data effortlessly. For example, if someone requests, "Please show me a list of all projects we won this month," the AI comprehends the request and provides a neatly organized overview. This intuitive interaction significantly reduces the cognitive load on users, enabling quick access to vital information without requiring technical expertise.

2. Report Generation

With Galliver X, generating reports is as simple as asking for them. For instance, using the command, "Please provide the construction cost ledger for the last five years, one year at a time," the AI auto-generates the requested documents, saving users time and effort traditionally spent on manual entries. This feature streamlines reporting processes, allowing staff to focus on their core responsibilities.

3. Document Search

Finding relevant documents can often consume a considerable amount of time. With Galliver X, users can minimize this time significantly by querying for specific attached files easily. An example command could be, "I want to see the attachment for the project named 'Renovation Project.'" The AI will swiftly search across different screens for the pertinent files, facilitating quick access to essential documents as the construction sector moves towards electronic record-keeping.

Foundation of Quality Data

The effectiveness of AI is heavily reliant on the quality of the underlying data. Galliver X excels in this regard by managing a unified database tailored to construction needs, encompassing project cost management, financial accounting, payroll, and joint venture management. This well-structured data setup allows the AI to provide relevant insights that are crucial for operations and strategy within the company. Users have reported a reduction in time spent verifying data and a shift in focus from data checking to data utilization, further underscoring the benefits of the Galliver X platform.

Future Prospects

While many companies leveraging generative AI report significant advantages, the construction industry continues to grapple with issues of talent and know-how. Asakawa Systems is committed to enhancing conditions for construction firms, building upon its 40 years of expertise within the sector combined with cutting-edge AI technology. Continuous improvements will align with customer feedback and technological advancements, ensuring the platform evolves to meet the industry's growing demands.
