Procore Acquires Datagrid to Strengthen AI and Data Connectivity

The Daily Dig:

Procore has acquired Datagrid, a vertical AI platform focused on advanced reasoning and connecting construction data across fragmented systems. According to Procore, the acquisition is intended to advance its AI strategy by improving how teams search, analyze, and work with information spread across ERPs, document storage platforms, and project management tools. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Procore stated that Datagrid’s technology has been used in active construction settings prior to the acquisition, though no specific customers or usage metrics were disclosed. The company also confirmed Datagrid will continue supporting both Procore and non-Procore customers. This aligns with Procore’s stated goal of improving data connectivity across the broader construction ecosystem rather than limiting access to a single platform. Industry coverage from Engineering News-Record (ENR) noted the acquisition as part of Procore’s broader push to embed AI more directly into day-to-day construction workflows. Datagrid CEO Thiago da Costa will join Procore to lead AI and data strategy.

Acquisition Snapshot:

TheJobWalk Thoughts:

This move reads less like an AI bet and more like a systems decision. Construction teams don’t struggle because data doesn’t exist, they struggle because it’s scattered. Procore’s language stays measured, but the intent is clear: reduce friction between tools and cut down the manual effort of finding and reconciling information. Whether the impact shows up in the field will depend on execution.
