A true 2-way Exchange Saves Time:
Instead of manually entering and updating your certification information, we can automate the flow of that data directly to your internal systems! We maintain accurate “live” certification for you and automate your product data being sent to our catalog.
All certified products are listed for FREE:
Certification bodies already automate their data to us in real-time. Any certifications you have appear in our catalog at no charge, organized by AIA Material Pledge & mindfulMATERIAL’s Common Material Framework.
The information collected by certifiers does not include the context designers need (lines, collections, colors, patterns, etc) so you can enrich it by sending us your complete product information through our Data Exchange.

Our automated services are unprecedented in ease and simplicity, all for the lowest costs in the industry.

Unprecedented and Unique Data Analytics:
BuildingEase is the first and only complete workflow platform in the industry, used by global owners and design firms.
Unlike any niche ‘green product databases’, BuildingEase appeals to the masses! Our catalog is not limited to certified products, so designers feel like they can, “…build an entire project” using our tools.
In BuildingEase, owners and designers:
- Centralize their internal product standards so they can automate compliance across ALL of their project teams
- Curate Master Lists of Preferred Products – again, supporting consistent compliance across all project teams
- Designate each product as 1st choice, 2nd choice (acceptable alternative) or Noncompliant
- Use the industry’s 1st and only true EASY BUTTON for one-click compliance checking for thousands of products at once
- Manage their entire workflow from research through approvals and installation
- Knowledge management about your products is automated across all teams, captured once and shared through internal, firmwide Product Notes and Spec Notes…and a lot more!
This means you get insights and analytics that don’t exist anywhere else!
In addition to the typical “who clicked” on your product data, you can see what matters:
- How many times have your product(s) been added to firmwide Master Lists of Preferred products?
- How many times have any product(s) been added to Noncompliant Master Lists – and why?
- Competitive intelligence: your brands vs. others
- Demand for various certifications by sector, region and more
And if you choose to participate in our (optional) Global Buyer’s Club, you will also see:
- Invisible sales LOSS data: how many times has your product been substituted during construction?
- Who got the bids that you lost but didn’t know about, and why?
- Pricing trends by region, sector and more
