In the premiere episode of the STRUXI BuildTech Talks series, STRUXI's Matt Vercauteren and Roger Eineichner sit down with Ryan Hale, Chief Information Officer and Director of Strategic Initiatives at Lithko Contracting LLC, to talk about common procedural pain points on their construction sites. 

Lithko is the second largest concrete contractor in the nation, with 18 offices and 3,000 employees. Only 3 years ago, Lithko was operating on a series of spreadsheets and a green screen ERP system. Over the past three years, Lithko has implemented SmartBid and STRUXI's labor productivity suite, powered by Penta Technologies, to increase their technological infusion.

Lithko was named a US Best Managed Company in May 2020 by Deloitte and a winner in the Tech Team of the Year category by Cincinnati Business Courier in July 2020 for their embrace of SmartBid and the STRUXI labor productivity suite.
