ProNovos

Bruce Orr, ProNovos (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 557)

Bruce Orr, Founder and CEO of ProNovos, joined host John Ray in-studio to discuss his company’s difference making data analytics software for construction contractors. Bruce discussed how and why he formed the company, the problems construction companies have which ProNovos solves, why he partners with CPA firms to deliver their services, and much more.

North Fulton Business Radio is produced and broadcast by the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

ProNovos

Bruce Orr founded Atlanta-based ProNovos in 2012 after hearing a construction CFO recount her frustration at running 40 different siloed applications, with missed opportunities for higher-order analysis.

Having filled data analytics roles at Citibank, AT&T, P&G, Kronos, and WiPro Technologies, Orr knew there was a better way.

The construction intelligence cloud he created now empowers contractors nationwide to rely on real-time information rather than guesstimates. In the field, they use ProNovos to record and share photos, drawings, submittals, daily reports, RFIs, crew and equipment resources, and more. Back at the office, they gain insights by pulling data into the platform from a wide array of project and financial apps.
