WHAT DOES KIREGISTRY COST?

We know you have invested in niche and project-specific/enabling products. We will help you integrate and optimize your prior investments within the KiRegistry ecosystem. Our members have made investments that are not fully amortized, sitting on balance sheets, and employees enjoy the customer experience. We are not a Fieldwire, Procore, Buildertrend, Autodesk, or Trimble -- or any of the connected construction accounting systems, as they only operate within one silo and its subsets. KiRegistry will help you continue to create leverage from prior investments through API and data integration. KiRegistry is a holistic cross-industry solution. In partnership with participating solution providers, our technology enables your project/program delivery integration through Application Programming Interfaces ("APIs"). Upon API of your existing and net-new solutions, the KiRegistry proprietary AI and ML technologies inform you of opportunities to reduce risk in near real-time, reducing latencies and creating value for you, your investors, and end-users.

WHAT PART OF THE PLATFORM INTEGRATES DIGITAL CONTRACTS?
Contract covenant management is not yet available for direct onboarding since legal contracts have many local, national, and international legal variables that drive outcomes. The intended deliverables and agreement outcomes must be carefully analyzed and customized to produce the intended results. Unfortunately, digital contracts must undergo NLP review before onboarding our ML/AI engine. It is not a one size fits all model regarding time compression. Our team is here to help you achieve the best results possible. Covenantz is working to allow user contract onboarding along with contract edits in the following platform release. Additionally, as described above, KiRegistry plans to offer both self-guided and personalized onboarding services.
