- Construction Industry AI notes Evo is not new; it debuted in Access's HR software in mid-2024, and this release extends it across all three construction products. Construction Industry AI
- ERP News reports the release is positioned as a workflow layer over existing products, not a standalone AI app. ERP News
Our take: what it means for contractors
Only matters if you already run Coins, ConQuest or Fonn. If you do, pilot the assistants on low-risk drafts like RFI summaries before letting them anywhere near payables or cost forecasts. The 'only provider' claim is marketing.
