Pulse portfolio analytics platform

Pulse is a public or private cloud-based common data environment and asset management platform. It empowers CFOs, COOs, CEOs, Project Directors, and Asset Managers with a single intelligent heartbeat across portfolios, programmes, and projects.

Asset owners and contractors face significant challenges in creating portfolio-wide intelligence from data delivered by numerous contractors and subcontractors into a single, unified analytics and insights platform. Pulse integrates live schedules, BIM visualisation, cost, quantity takeoff (QTO), safety, reporting, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) integration, mobile-native user interfaces, and a scalable architecture to support the client’s current and future digital initiatives.

With ever-decreasing profit margins across the construction industry, predictive insight is becoming critical for delivery confidence and risk management. Pulse modernises infrastructure delivery by replacing fragmented workflows with a transparent, intelligent environment that improves oversight, decision-making, and collaboration across clients, contractors and disciplines – supporting New Engineering Contract (NEC) principles in practice.

We've deployed Pulse in Hong Kong’s challenging and fast-paced delivery culture for a mission-critical asset owner. Already gaining strong traction, asset owners in utilities and property development are deploying customised modules to streamline operations. The platform’s extensible architecture supports scaling across future assets, positioning Pulse as a reusable digital product for complex programmes worldwide.

End-to-end solution using open-source technologies

Pulse delivers a true end-to-end solution built on open-source tools and technologies, reducing vendor lock-in while enabling rapid innovation. Proprietary systems are integrated where they add value – ensuring clients retain control, flexibility, and scalability across their digital estate.

Extension on the way - Agentic AI for cost, schedule, quality and risk

The next evolution of Pulse introduces Agentic AI – autonomous, goal-driven digital agents that continuously analyse live data to:

• Predict cost and schedule overruns
• Identify quality and safety risk patterns
• Recommend proactive interventions
• Support scenario testing and portfolio-level optimisation

This capability will transform Pulse from a monitoring platform into an intelligent decision partner, further strengthening delivery certainty in an increasingly constrained construction market.
