Revolutionizing Data-Driven Efficiency
BIMobject AB, a leader in digital content management for Building Information Modeling (BIM), helps architects, engineers, and construction professionals access detailed product data to design and build better. To scale their operations and improve efficiency, BIMobject partnered with Transformica AI to tackle one of their toughest challenges: streamlining complex workflows like sustainability reporting and product categorization.
By introducing agentic workflows tailored to automate and optimize these processes, BIMobject achieved breakthroughs in data accuracy, time savings, and operational impact.
Automating Complex Data Extraction
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide crucial sustainability data about materials, but extracting that information from documents is typically slow and error-prone due to inconsistent formats.
Before partnering with Transformica AI, BIMobject’s team spent hundreds of hours manually parsing and validating these documents. The process often involved cross-checking data across formats and systems, creating bottlenecks.
Transformica AI introduced agentic workflows that:
• Automated data extraction from EPDs, regardless of document format.
• Validated data for accuracy using the Agentic Eval System (AES), ensuring confidence in automation.
• Flagged discrepancies between sources, such as PDFs and digital databases, reducing compliance risks.
“Transformica AI has made what used to be a tedious, manual process into a seamless workflow, ensuring data accuracy and saving valuable time,” explains Daniel Olausson, CTO of BIMobject.
Simplifying Product Categorization
With thousands of products to organize into detailed hierarchies, BIMobject struggled to meet growing demands. Transformica AI’s workflows automated the research and categorization process, allowing the system to group products with incredible precision and at a speed unattainable by manual methods.
“We’ve achieved a level of granularity and efficiency that we never thought possible,” says Olausson. The improved categorization enhances platform usability, making it easier for clients to find and use relevant products.
Accelerating Digital Twin Creation
Digital twins—virtual replicas of physical products—are critical for modeling environmental impact, but building them requires combining vast amounts of technical and manufacturing data. The process can take experts weeks to complete.
Using Transformica AI’s agentic workflows, BIMobject developed an automated system to:
• Collect detailed product data from PDFs, spreadsheets, and databases.
• Create preliminary digital twins in Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) software, serving as a starting point for experts.
This not only cut the time required for modeling but also ensured higher accuracy and lower costs by leveraging cloud infrastructure.
“This partnership has revolutionized how we approach digital twin creation, freeing up our experts to focus on strategic work,” Olausson notes.
Clarity for All Industries
Even for industries unfamiliar with sustainability processes, this partnership demonstrates how Transformica AI can tackle high-stakes, time-consuming workflows—transforming them into scalable, reliable systems. The results speak to any organization grappling with inefficiencies in data management and automation.
“Transformica AI has proven to be more than a technology provider. They are a strategic partner helping us unlock new levels of innovation and efficiency,” concludes Olausson.
