5 reasons to choose SokoPro for data management in construction

SokoPro is a comprehensive solution for data management in the construction industry. It is designed to enhance collaboration, improve the flow of information and facilitate project management. SokoPro provides users with the ability to view, share, manage and archive all project-related information in one place.

The below five reasons make SokoPro a user-friendly and effective file management software for construction projects.
1.    BIM-Viewer allows you to view a wide range of merged models
SokoPro’s BIM-Viewer functionality allows you to view individual IFC data models and merged models. In addition, easy-to-use tools allow you to make your own red-pen markings, measure and add cutting layers. The object information feature allows the user to click on any item in the drawing, such as a wall, and see all of the information related to its structure. The gamified navigation is intuitive and logical to use.

2.    User-friendliness and efficiency come first
The easy-to-use search features help you find the information you need quickly, as the search function also looks for the desired word within the text; not just in the file name as usual. Users appreciate the mass import and download functions, which allow for easy handling of large amounts of data, and you can import a lot of materials to the software at once. For example, you can drag a zip file or an entire folder structure into the software at once.

SokoPro supports multiple file formats, including DWG files used by designers. You can preview the files, and the programme displays the differences between the old and the new revisions. You can also preview Office files, PDFs, photos and videos.

3.    Interfaces make project management easier
The interfaces allow you to automate file storage processes across multiple services, eliminating the need for manual steps and significantly speeding up the process. This not only saves time, but also reduces the risk of human errors that can occur in manual file handling. The interfaces enable the direct transfer of data between services, making the overall process smoother and safer.

Congrid: With the Congrid integration, the latest drawings are automatically updated from SokoPro to Congrid. This saves time and costs, and significantly reduces the chance of errors.

Vektor.io: The Vectorio integration makes it possible to link a folder in SokoPro to a Vectorio project. This updates the contents of the folder automatically to Vectorio.
 
Grano Oy: In SokoPro, you can order paper copies directly from the Grano copy plant.

In addition to the above interfaces, SokoPro also offers the following: SingSpace, Vastuu Group, Modelspace and YTJ. Customers can make tailored solutions according to their needs.

4.    Multi-level user management
SokoPro’s three-tier user management offers flexibility and control. 
The Account Administrator has an overview of all of the company’s projects and can create new projects independently. This adds transparency to every real estate bank and project in the customer relationship. 
The Project Administrator has full control over the project files, its structure and users. They have the right to delete or add users, as well as to give users additional rights.
Light Administrators can manage users for specific profiles, but cannot modify directory structures or their permissions. This feature facilitates the project administrator’s work and is well suited, for example, for substitute situations when responsibilities must be shared.

5.    Unlimited capacity
SokoPro has no restrictions on the number of users or amount of data. Everything is included in the agreed price, so you can focus on the essentials – the success of your project.
