    I think the complexity and cost of the program make it particularly useful, in situations where: the project is relatively large, with a wide variety of specialties that interact and depend on one another, and with specialists who are not physically together and whose communication and understanding is vital for the proper development of the project. If the project does not meet these characteristics, it is preferable to use less complex tools, cheaper, and that require less effort training the staff to use the software in question.

    I find KYRO to be an exceptionally well-designed product, ideally suited for both large and relatively smaller teams. Its ability to facilitate collaboration among multiple stakeholders on documents and plans is particularly impressive, making it an indispensable tool in managing diverse and complex construction projects. I appreciate KYRO's effectiveness in scenarios that demand meticulous tracking of labor hours and monitoring project progress to adhere to budget constraints. I perceive KYRO to be less suited for smaller residential projects that don't necessitate its extensive range of features. In such cases, simpler tools may suffice for effective management, making KYRO's advanced capabilities somewhat excessive for these smaller-scale projects.

    Pros
    Bentley Systems
    • It allows the different specialists or users, to make virtual and quick analyzes that have been translated into the rapid resolution of problems.
    • Bentley Navigator allowed me to incorporate and manage important amounts of information that were key in the design phase, and that being inputs for different areas could be a source of conflict. The conflicts that have been generated are much smaller than those seen in similar projects previously carried out without the help of this tool.
    • Allowing the visualization of the information in 3D models, added to its capacity to export 3D models as PD files, has allowed to increase the fluidity and communication of information with the client, which has translated into a reduction of the hours invested by the technical manager in that activity.

    • Document Management: As a project manager, I've found KYRO's document management feature to be a game-changer. The ability to organize all project-related documents in one centralized location simplifies the workflow significantly. Their search functionality works well, allowing for quick and easy retrieval of documents from an extensive archive. This feature not only saves time but also enhances the overall efficiency of document handling in our projects
    • Time Management: The timesheet feature of KYRO has been instrumental in streamlining the process of recording and approving work hours. This functionality has been pivotal in efficiently tracking the hours logged by my crew, greatly aiding in effective time management and workforce coordination.

    Cons
    Bentley Systems
    • It could give alert messages warning that the information that is of shared use, has the latest version, with all the updated modifications.
    • The information contained in the visual reports currently generated by the software could be expanded.

    Alternatives Considered
    Bentley Systems
    The tools and functionalities that have been used previously, are not commercial software, they have been software developed internally, of course much simpler and less functional than commercial software such as Bentley and its competition. This fact clearly obeyed a guideline of the organization that aimed to minimize the costs associated with the acquisition of software such as the Bentley.
    As you learn from the experience and mistakes, once you lost a lot of time and money because you did not have the necessary tools to guarantee the timely flow of information, between personnel who were physically distant from each other but who needed of a very high technical interaction. As a result of this fact, the use of tools such as this was proposed as a test, in order to evaluate its real usefulness over time.

    • The frequency and quality of information flow between field and office staff has improved.
    • The costs for cellular use concepts associated with the sharing of information associated with the projects where the software has been used have been reduced compared to projects where more traditional control tools have been used.

    • KYRO has led to a significant reduction in man-hours. The platform has been instrumental in tracking progress across various projects, and it has also streamlined administrative tasks, eliminating the need for manual approvals
    • I've found KYRO extremely effective in reducing errors during report submissions for both daily logs and forms. Its system maintains a record of previous entries, which serves as a reference for future submissions.
