CDE Sync integrates
Common Data Environments.
CDE Sync is for the AEC industry. It is a cloud-based AI tool developed to integrate and synchronize data (files, models and metadata) across multiple Common Data Environment (CDE) platforms on your projects.
— CDE Sync Overview —
CDE Sync and the current integrations framework.
We enable data connectivity to drive a single-source-of-truth for your CDE. Users can configure source and destination locations, define mapping rules for data and metadata migration, and monitor syncs through an intuitive wizard-journey.
CDE Sync uses AI-driven workflows
to remove manual tasks, delivering
the right data to the right person
at the right time, so your team can
focus on higher-value project work.
— Manual vs Automated —
CDE Sync replaces manual handling of data on projects.
-
Manual file transfers between CDE platforms are time-consuming, error-prone, and resource-intensive. Each transfer requires downloading, reformatting metadata, and re-uploading files—often leading to version mismatches and delays. As projects scale, this method becomes unsustainable and expensive to repeat.
-
Automated file transfers using CDE Sync are fast, reliable, and secure. The platform connects Common Data Environments like ProjectWise and Autodesk Construction Cloud, automating file and metadata synchronization. This reduces manual workload, eliminates version errors, and ensures teams are always working with up-to-date information—saving time and boosting project efficiency at scale.
— CDE Sync Architecture —
CDE Sync integrates your project’s Digital Ecosystem.
CDE Sync is industry agnostic. It is used in industries such as transportation, mining, the built environment, renewable energy, and beyond. It’s particularly beneficial for managing projects where data synchronization is critical for timely collaboration and the creation of a single-source-of-truth is essential for project success.
— CDE Sync Benefits —
CDE Sync benefits your project teams.
PlanGrid and FMI identifies factors costing the construction industry over $177 billion annually due to inefficiencies, rework, and poor communication, directly highlighting the financial impact of inadequate data management and poorly integrated systems.
