Job Cost Analytics for General Contractors

General contractors run on Procore, Sage 300 CRE, and QuickBooks. Each system reports on its own slice. None of them answer the questions that drive general contractors' weekly decisions. Procore tracks operations. Sage 300 CRE tracks money. The link between them lives in spreadsheets and memory. DataBlueprint connects every system, builds a Knowledge Graph of your business, and answers questions across all of it. It is a private LLM powered by AWS Bedrock, with read-only access to your systems. You ask a question. You get a Decision Brief with the numbers and the source rows behind them.

What Is Decision Intelligence?

Decision Intelligence is a category. It is not Business Intelligence with a chatbot bolted on. Business Intelligence shows historical numbers in dashboards. Decision Intelligence answers business questions across every system you run. DataBlueprint is the Decision Intelligence platform from Inzata Analytics. It connects to Procore, Sage 300 CRE, and the rest of your stack through read-only connections. It builds a Knowledge Graph that maps how your customers, jobs, transactions, and people relate. A private LLM powered by AWS Bedrock reads that Knowledge Graph and answers questions in plain language. Every answer cites the rows it used. The Knowledge Graph stays in your environment. AWS Bedrock contractually guarantees your inputs and outputs are never used to train or improve foundation models.

What General Contractors Cannot Answer Today

The current stack reports the obvious numbers. The hard questions sit between systems. Here are five questions general contractors ask every week that Procore, Sage 300 CRE, and QuickBooks cannot answer on their own:

  • Which customers, jobs, or accounts produce the highest true margin after labor, parts, and overhead?
  • Which Procore records have not been reconciled with Sage 300 CRE this month, and what dollar amount is at risk?
  • Where did our gross margin actually move this quarter, broken down by line, region, and source system?
  • Which staff or producers contribute the most revenue per hour after non-billable time?
  • Which renewals, repeat clients, or recurring jobs are trending down before the loss shows up in Sage 300 CRE?

None of those answers live in one report. They live across Procore, Sage 300 CRE, and QuickBooks. Stitching them together by hand takes days. By the time you have the answer, the decision has moved on.

What General Contractors Leaders Can Ask DataBlueprint

DataBlueprint connects Procore, Sage 300 CRE, and QuickBooks and answers cross-system questions in seconds. Every answer is a Decision Brief: the number, the trend, the contributing rows, and the recommended next action. Examples of questions general contractors ask DataBlueprint:

  • Margin by customer. Combine Procore jobs, Sage 300 CRE invoices, and labor cost to rank customers by true contribution margin.
  • Reconciliation gaps. List every Procore transaction that has not posted to Sage 300 CRE in the last 30 days, with dollar value.
  • Producer or staff productivity. Show revenue and margin per person, per hour, blended across Procore and Sage 300 CRE.
  • Trend variance. Identify the three line items that drove this month's gross margin movement and explain why.
  • Retention risk. Flag accounts whose activity in Procore has dropped while their billing in Sage 300 CRE stayed flat.
  • Capacity vs demand. Compare scheduled capacity in Procore to forecasted demand and surface the next bottleneck.

Every answer cites the source rows. You can click through to the underlying records in Procore and Sage 300 CRE to verify before acting.

How Decision Intelligence Differs From Dashboards

Side by side:

  • Dashboards show fixed charts. DataBlueprint answers any question in plain language.
  • Dashboards live in one tool at a time. DataBlueprint reads Procore, Sage 300 CRE, and QuickBooks together.
  • Dashboards require a data team to build new views. DataBlueprint builds the Knowledge Graph automatically.
  • Dashboards show what happened. DataBlueprint explains why and recommends what to do next.
  • Generic AI tools guess. DataBlueprint uses a private LLM powered by AWS Bedrock with read-only access to your real data, and cites every row.

BI shows the past. Decision Intelligence answers the next question.
