Description

Construction telematics company Trackunit unified previously siloed Finance, Engineering and RevOps data (6 million connected machines, 3 billion data points processed daily) onto the Databricks Data + AI Platform, then exposed that capability to customers through its IrisX platform. OEMs, rental and construction companies building on IrisX see 5x faster time-to-market than building their own data architecture, and Trackunit is extending the platform toward predictive maintenance using Databricks Genie and Agent Bricks.

Problem

Construction is one of the least digitized industries in the world, and despite high investment in IT, productivity has stagnated for 30 years, with project delays and budget overruns the norm. Trackunit needed to manage immense scale — over 6 million connected machines generating 3 billion data points every day — but data was previously isolated in silos, with Finance, Engineering and RevOps all operating in separate "lakehouses," leading to massive inefficiencies.

Solution

Trackunit adopted Databricks as its central Lakehouse, harmonizing disparate data sources, from Salesforce to Planhat to proprietary machine data, into a single source of truth. Trackunit then integrated Databricks capabilities directly into its customer-facing platform, IrisX, giving OEMs, rental and construction companies who often lack their own data capabilities access to enterprise-grade data and analytics without building it from scratch.

Business value

Trackunit estimates that customers building on IrisX see a 5x faster time-to-market compared to trying to build their own data architectures on top of "internal spaghetti" systems. Use cases like predictive maintenance and spare part lead generation are driving tangible ROI for manufacturers on the platform today.
