Context

RedTeam, a construction management software company, faced a critical bottleneck with manual specification document review consuming up to 8+ hours per document. Our team implemented an AI-driven pipeline using AWS Bedrock and Textract, achieving around 90% accuracy while cutting processing time dramatically. This solution now serves as a key differentiator and potential revenue stream for RedTeam’s platform.

Operational Impact and Transformational Outcomes

The introduction of an AI-powered solution brought dramatic efficiency gains, transforming RedTeam’s document processing capabilities. The solution consistently delivered 89-90% accuracy, efficiently handling complex, multi-thousand-page documents that previously required extensive manual review.

Competitive Positioning: RedTeam began showcasing this capability to clients as a key differentiator in the construction management software market, meeting a growing industry demand for automation tools.
Revenue Opportunity: Created potential for a monetizable feature that can be integrated into RedTeam’s platform as a premium service for clients.
Efficiency Gains: Processing time reduced from 8+ hours to approximately 15 minutes for documents containing 200+ submittal items.
Unique Complexity: Supported large-scale documents up to 5,000 pages and 1GB in file size. These requirements significantly exceeded the upper bounds of many off-the-shelf solutions.
Eval-Oriented Fine Tuning: In addition to the core pipeline, our team provided RedTeam with an evaluation and experimentation application as well, so they could continue to measure and refine the solution’s effectiveness over time.

THE CHALLENGE

Manual Processing Limitations and Scalability Barriers

RedTeam’s reliance on manual processes for extracting specification requirements from large documents posed significant challenges:

Scalability Concerns: The unsustainable manual approach limited the ability to serve larger clients and higher document volumes effectively.
Error-Prone Processes: Manual extraction led to inconsistencies and errors, impacting project timelines and client satisfaction.
Unique Technical Requirements: Needed to support very large documents, far exceeding typical off-the-shelf processing solutions.

OUR SOLUTION

AI-Powered Serverless Architecture

Our team designed a comprehensive AI architecture in AWS, built on a serverless infrastructure-as-code model. This robust extraction pipeline was tailored specifically for RedTeam’s needs.

Serverless Architecture: Leveraged use case-optimized serverless services within AWS (Lambdas, Step Functions, S3, DynamoDB, Fargate, etc.) for automated scaling, ensuring efficient processing without manual intervention.
Infrastructure as Code: Deployed using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) methodologies, allowing rapid deployment and updates while maintaining consistent environments.
Multi-Stage Pipeline: Included document chunking, text extraction, Bedrock AI interpretation, and storage in DynamoDB for seamless platform integration.
Rigorous Testing: A test harness compared AI-extracted results against manually verified data, ensuring accuracy and facilitating continuous improvement.
Fully Serverless: The solution was built out almost exclusively with serverless

“Allata didn’t just solve our technical challenge – they created a competitive advantage. The accuracy and consistency we’re seeing has dramatically improved our project timelines, streamlined our operations and positioned us as a leader in AI-driven efficiency.”
