Construction Season Is Here: Let’s Roll
As the beginning of construction season takes off, we at Pavewise are thrilled to watch the developments unfold, especially with our newest addition, GroundTruth. This season, we are more excited than ever to be a part of the horizontal construction industry. GroundTruth is set to enhance construction operations, aiming to make this season their most successful yet. As we roll out this groundbreaking product, we are eager to see its impact across this industry, enhancing efficiency and paving the way for success.
Pavewise’s web-based software maximizes productivity and improves project quality resulting in increased incentives and profits for paving contractors. Variables such as weather, project specifications, and equipment operations impact every paving project. By efficiently managing project variables and integrating paving solutions, Pavewise develops a strategy for success for every paving project.
In 2023, Pavewise successfully assisted in managing over $13 million in paving projects across the United States.
We are the first intelligent construction software built for improving asphalt paving efficiencies and profits.
Help Wanted/Asks

Recent Highlights
- As a team, we gained an immense amount of industry knowledge at World of Asphalt (WOA), the premier stage for innovators committed to reshaping the pavement industry landscape. During our attendance, our team had the incredible opportunity to explore innovations within the paving industry, engage with clients to understand their specific needs and challenges, advocate for Pavewise’s solutions to enhance their operations, partake in various educational sessions offered at WOA to further enrich our knowledge base, engage in conversations on future synergies, as well as meet face-to-face with other industry professionals.
- We had a booth set up at the ND Transportation Conference last month where we showcased our products and met with customers.
- Bryce and Jase were in Austin, TX at the 2024 SXSW Pitch event where Bryce was able to pitch in the Smart Cities, Transportation & Sustainability category. While they were not selected as a winner, they gained many valuable connections.

- Brittany was listed and recognized as one of five Women You Need to Watch in North Dakota Business for 2024!

Recent Lowlights
- Unfortunately, a company that we had high hopes of partnering with to test device integrations, is not able to perform at a level that is expected which has forced us to discontinue the partnership and bring a solution in-house.
- As the construction season gets underway, we are trying to find the right balance between sales and implementation—ensuring our existing customers are satisfied while also welcoming new ones.
- Building trust with customers and providing a technology that can automate a process that traditionally was done manually is time-consuming and challenging. Change is hard.
