AMLI Residential operates 25,000+ apartment homes across eight major U.S. markets. Jobsites generate massive volumes of drawings, RFIs, schedules, and submittals — and field teams needed answers without leaving the work.
The challenge
Retrieving accurate, up-to-date information onsite often meant trips back to the trailer. That slowed productivity and raised the odds of costly rework from outdated or incomplete data.
The approach
AMLI rolled out TrunkText, integrating with existing project systems so crews could ask questions by SMS and get cited answers from millions of pages of documentation — including multilingual responses for diverse field crews. Implementation was nearly plug-and-play.
Outcomes
- 1–2 hours saved per field user, per day finding critical information
- Fewer trailer trips and less rework from stale or wrong data
- Standardized across AMLI projects after day-one value
- Teams spend more time building and less time on document chase
“The implementation was almost plug and play, providing immediate value. Our teams saw the benefits from day one.”
