CMCS solutions for PMWEB
Solutions we have built to extend what PMWEB can do.
Beyond configuration, CMCS has developed solutions on PMWEB for specific client needs, from extended e-procurement to land sales and stage-gate management, and moves owners from Oracle Aconex and Oracle Unifier to PMWEB. Our new offering, askAIRO, brings AI answers from PMWEB and your ERP to the PMWEB you already run. Each was built for one client and can be delivered to others, extending the use of the PMIS across more of the business.
Every solution runs on, or connects directly to, PMWEB, so its data stays in the system of record and under the same security, workflows and audit trail. Each is configured to the new client's processes rather than rebuilt.
New New CMCS offering · Data talks, insights follow
askAIRO for PMWEB: AI answers from the PMWEB and ERP you already run.
askAIRO gives your leaders and project teams an AI assistant that answers business questions from PMWEB and your ERP, in plain language and in seconds. It works with PMWEB hosted on your own servers or in the cloud, on the PMWEB version you run today, and nothing inside PMWEB is changed.
On your servers
Works with PMWEB hosted on-premises by the client, fully inside your network, or in the cloud if you prefer.
PMWEB + ERP
One answer across project and finance data.
Read-only
Never changes data. Users see only what they are allowed to see.
Any LLM, or no LLM costs
Use the language model of your choice, or your own GPU server and pay no LLM costs, ever.
Plain-language questions
Questions on live PMWEB data, answered with the source records cited.
Key terms, obligations and dates
From contracts, RFIs and correspondence held in PMWEB.
Tables and summaries on request
With scheduled delivery as an option.
Early sight of overruns and delays
Overruns, ageing change orders, overdue RFIs and unpaid invoices.
One reconciled answer
Budgets, commitments, invoices and payments from PMWEB and the ERP in one answer.
What is pending, and with whom
Open workflow steps, who holds them and for how long.
- What have we paid against Terminal B versus budget?
- Which projects are forecasting over budget this quarter?
- List open change orders above AED 500,000 and who they wait on.
- What does the contract say about liquidated damages?
- Which RFIs are older than 14 days with no response?
- Compare committed cost with invoices posted in the ERP.
- Ask. A user types a question in plain language.
- Retrieve. Read-only connectors fetch the data from PMWEB and the ERP, as that user.
- Answer. A clear answer in seconds, with the source records cited.
Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard that connects AI models to business systems, much as an API does. The connectors use PMWEB's API and web services, or a read-only reporting view where needed. Nothing inside PMWEB is changed.
Works with any ERP
askAIRO · security and deployment
Built for IT and security teams.
askAIRO runs on your servers or in the cloud. Every AI solution runs on a large language model (LLM), and most bring token costs that grow with every question asked. askAIRO lets you choose: connect any LLM you already trust, or buy your own GPU server, where we deploy askAIRO with an open model and you are free of LLM costs for good.
Inside your network
The on-premises model keeps the application, the connectors and the AI model inside your network.
Your directory
Users sign in with Active Directory or SAML.
PMWEB and ERP roles apply
Every answer respects the user's PMWEB and ERP roles.
No changes to records
No tool can create, change or delete records.
Every question logged
Questions and answers logged, and exportable to your security monitoring system.
Controlled access
Tool access by role, row limits and masking of sensitive fields.
