About

Equator Studios builds software to help engineering, planning, and design teams work smarter and faster. The Equator mapping platform makes high-quality geospatial data accessible in seconds, allowing professionals to find, visualize, and use critical project information without the usual delays. With instant access to LiDAR, elevation models, and other datasets, teams can make better decisions, streamline workflows, and accelerate project timelines.

Project

Equator Studios is tackling a major inefficiency in the industry: the time-consuming, manual process of preparing proposals. Equator LDI is proposal automation tool, designed to help engineering firms create high quality proposals with less effort. In this project supported by the Development and Commercialization program, Equator will work the Cambrian College TDS to further the development of the LDI platform by developing novel AI/machine learning capabilities explicitly tailored for the engineering proposal development process.

Impact

Through this project, Equator will achieve the primary tangible outcome of a fully commercialized and market validated software platform, Equator LDI, explicitly tailored for AEC firms to streamline their proposal development process. The LDI solution will help increase proposal throughput for engineering customers by 35% and create time savings of 20-30% for senior technical staff.
