[圖片來源:HOVER]當承包商需要訂購，比如說，屋頂用的瓦片時，需要進行很多測量，以確保為項目訂購足夠的——但不是太多的——材料。那麼有什麼簡單的方法呢?就像現在的大多數事情一樣，你隻需要拿出你的手機。這就是總部位於舊金山的科技公司HOVER提供的解決方案，該公司可以將智能手機的照片或藍圖變成包含3D數據的數字雙胞胎。總部位於麥金尼的SRS分銷公司是一家屋頂和建築材料分銷商，在美國44個州的610個地點經營一係列品牌。該公司宣布與HOVER恢複合作關係，允許承包商直接從HOVER平台訂購屋頂和牆板材料。其目標是:簡化確保材料數量基於精確測量的過程。“數字技術在建築行業的應用正在迅速加快，因此我們很高興地宣布與HOVER續簽合作關係。”SRS的首席收入和營銷官肯特·加德納在一份聲明中說。他補充說:“我們致力於共同努力，為我們當前和未來的客戶確保數字空間的附加價值。”HOVER公司表示，當HOVER公司的3D模型對建築進行精確測量時，直接訂購工具可以快速自動地完成許多工作。 First it automatically calculates the amount of needed materials. Then it “instantly” prepares lists of roofing and siding products. That’s when SRS comes into play. The tool enables contractors to easily place their orders with SRS via SRS’ own Roof Hub tool. By integrating SRS’ tool within the HOVER platform, the companies give contractors a single digital experience for streamlined orders. HOVER says the tool embeds a contractor’s unique pricing and installation preferences, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual entry or separate ordering. The result: an often cumbersome ordering process is performed in a more efficient way—so the contractor can get back to his business. (Like, you know, the actual roofing.) A contractor sees the value Donnie McMillan, president of DaBella, a home improvement services company based in Oregon, says the HOVER-SRS integration has helped his bottom line. “HOVER has helped tremendously with profitability and close rates for our home improvement business,” McMillan said in a statement. “Ever since the platform integrated with SRS, our process for ordering materials has become even more efficient and streamlined. It has been a huge time saver.” Supply chain issues make efficient ordering more vital HOVER notes that supply chain delays in the past few years have increased the need for “cost-saving efficiencies.” In addition, the building industry has placed greater emphasis on reducing construction waste (and anyone who’s seen Shingle Mountain in Dallas could tell you why that’s important). HOVER and SRS say their partnership aids in this by ensuring “the accurate quantity of material gets delivered to the correct job.” “The integration between HOVER and SRS’s Roof Hub is an exciting step towards driving efficiency for the built world,” A.J. Altman, founder and CEO of HOVER, said in the statement. Get on the list. Dallas Innovates, every day. Sign up to keep your eye on what’s new and next in Dallas-Fort Worth, every day. One quick signup, and you’re done. R E A D N E X T Up to 42% of Dallas households lack a fixed connection to the internet. Without the tools and know-how to connect to the digital world, people can be left behind, especially in economically disadvantaged parts of the city. DIA is working to change that with its Digital Ambassador program. Now, with help from the Dallas Foundation and Santander Consumer USA—and a $1 million grant from AT&T—DIA aims to get people not just connected, but thriving. The new magnet manufacturing facility will be the headquarters for MP Magnetics, the company's growing magnetics division. Production at the new facility could ultimately power 500,000 EV motors each year. MP, which entered a long-term supply agreement with General Motors for rare earth materials and parts, says manufacturing could begin in 2023. Hundreds packed the Granada theater to watch the gloves-off "fights" to cap off Dallas Startup Week. Tech types duked it out verbally amid cheering, hooting, and generally raucous reactions from the audience. Check out what you missed—or relive it here. Share via:
