🛠️ Challenge

Before adopting BuiltMind’s solution, YIT relied on purchasing reports for data collection and market monitoring. These reports contained static data and were only available quarterly, requiring manual searches for updates. If YIT needed more frequent data updates, they had to purchase them at high costs. The company’s main goal was to have a better understanding of the market and to access more frequent data updates.

💡Solution

With BuiltMind, YIT is able to leverage the whole product offering of BuiltMind, significantly speeding up processes that were previously tedious and error-prone. Team members can easily access the data and use them for various purposes, which differ across the company.

Reflecting on the most important features, YIT recognizes several game-changing features in the BuiltMind solution. The daily updates are a standout, providing YIT with real-time information, a significant improvement from the infrequent quarterly data they relied on before. The platform monitors the entire market, enabling YIT to gain a more comprehensive understanding of its industry. In the past, YIT’s reports only covered a portion of the market, limiting their insight. Lastly, the interactivity of the web app is a notable benefit as they previously received static PDF reports, limiting their ability to interact with the data.

BuiltMind’s solution provides value to almost the entire company. The development, acquisition, sales teams and management all leverage data from BuiltMind to make informed decisions.
