Conest Advances AI-Driven Innovation
LONDONDERRY, NH — Conest Software Systems, a trusted leader in electrical estimating, digital takeoff, and analytics and reporting solutions, is actively investing in modern artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to shape the future of its software ecosystem and deliver even greater value to electrical contractors.
As AI continues to transform industries worldwide, Conest is taking a thoughtful, contractor-first approach—focusing on practical, secure, and meaningful applications of AI that enhance productivity, accuracy, and decision-making across the entire electrical construction lifecycle.
A Purpose-Driven Approach to AI
Conest’s AI initiatives are centered on strengthening core workflows contractors rely on every day. Rather than deploying AI for novelty alone, Conest is evaluating how modern AI and machine learning (ML) tools can be responsibly embedded into real-world estimating, takeoff, project tracking, and business intelligence processes.
These efforts include internal research and development, as well as strategic evaluations of emerging technologies and partnerships that align with Conest’s long-standing mission: helping electrical contractors bid smarter, work more efficiently, and gain clearer insight into their operations.
Exploring Strategic AI Partnerships and Integrations
In addition to in-house development, Conest is actively exploring opportunities to collaborate with select third-party AI technology providers whose solutions complement the Conest ecosystem.
Modern AI innovation is advancing rapidly across areas such as document intelligence, data analysis, automation, and predictive modeling. By evaluating best-in-class AI platforms and tools, Conest aims to identify potential integrations or partnerships that can accelerate innovation while maintaining the reliability, security, and domain expertise customers expect from Conest software.
Any future third-party AI integrations would be carefully vetted to ensure they meet Conest’s standards for data protection, performance, and real-world applicability within electrical construction workflows. This flexible, ecosystem-based approach allows Conest to leverage external innovation where it adds genuine value—without compromising the integrity or focus of its core products.
Building a True Cloud Platform with AI at Its Core
At the foundation of Conest’s AI strategy is the development of a true next-generation cloud platform. This modern architecture is being designed to support scalable AI/ML capabilities across a comprehensive set of construction workflows, including:
- Digital takeoff and estimating
- Project and job management
- Time & Materials (T&M) and service management
- Analytics, reporting, and data-driven insights
By modernizing the underlying platform, Conest is ensuring that AI capabilities can be integrated securely, intelligently, and seamlessly—without disrupting the proven tools customers depend on today.
Practical Benefits for Contractors—Today and Tomorrow
While specific AI features remain confidential during development, Conest’s long-term vision is clear: AI should help contractors reduce manual effort, identify risks earlier, improve estimating accuracy, surface actionable insights, and ultimately make better business decisions.
Future AI-driven capabilities may assist with pattern recognition, data validation, workflow optimization, and advanced analytics—always with transparency, data security, and customer trust as top priorities.
Commitment to Transparency, Security, and Customer Trust
Conest recognizes that AI adoption must be handled carefully, especially in an industry where data integrity, reliability, and confidentiality are critical. For this reason, detailed specifications, feature sets, and release timelines are not being publicly disclosed at this stage.
What Conest can share is its unwavering commitment to protecting customer data, adhering to responsible AI practices, and delivering solutions that are practical, dependable, and aligned with how electrical contractors actually work.
Looking Ahead
For nearly four decades, Conest has evolved alongside the electrical construction industry—adapting to new technologies while maintaining a deep understanding of contractor needs. Today’s investment in AI represents the next step in that evolution.
Customers can be confident that modern AI development is not only part of Conest’s roadmap. It is being actively explored, tested, and built into the future of the Conest ecosystem. As these initiatives mature, Conest looks forward to sharing more details and continuing to partner closely with contractors as the industry enters its next phase of digital transformation.
