• Access to the Dodge subcontractor database through Dodge PlanRoom integration, enabling contractors and manufacturers to easily share project information and manage bidding activity

• An integrated Sweets Activity Dashboard providing manufacturers with streamlined access to Sweets ROI metrics
• Enhanced API services, allowing customers to access Dodge data within their CRM and marketing automation systems

"Our goal is to empower the design and construction community with the tools they need to improve their daily processes, and leverage deep intelligence to make timely, effective decisions backed by data," said Dodge Chief Executive Officer Mike Petrullo. "Moving to a model where our products and solutions are integrated on one platform will make operations and decision-making much more efficient and streamlined for our clients, and introducing this new UI is a valuable next step in the process. We're excited to give attendees a view into the single platform to demonstrate how they can streamline workflows, increase productivity, facilitate collaboration, mitigate risk and improve their visibility of project and market details that have been inaccessible until now."
