Attentive.ai has already been a forward thinking leader of AI-based takeoff software in the construction space, and now they are looking to expand their influence and reach by partnering with Asphalt Kingdom. The two companies are looking to transform the way that contractors and other pavement pros look at new technology like AI (artificial intelligence).
AI tools are proliferating at a rapid pace across a broad spectrum of industries, and the asphalt world is no exception. The implementation of these new tools, and how customers will use them, will likely determine the future of the industry going forward.
One of the tools in Attentive.ai's toolbox is "Automeasure" which is designed to save contractors up to 95% of their usual time by automatically measuring asphalt, concrete, parking stall striping, direction arrows, handicap stalls, and more.
The partnership with Asphalt Kingdom is meant to combine Attentive.ai's AI tools with their knowledge of the blacktop industry to streamline workflows, and improve productivity for asphalt maintenance businesses.
"This partnership is an absolute game-changer for the asphalt and paving industry," said Shiva Dhawan, CEO and Co-founder of Attentive.ai. "By combining our advanced AI capabilities with Asphalt Kingdom's deep industry knowledge and technology, we’re empowering paving businesses to work smarter and more competitively in 2025 and beyond."
Shawn Prince, President of Field Services at Attentive.ai, added: "Our goal has always been to help professionals reclaim time spent on manual tasks & workflows. With this partnership, we’re doubling down on that mission, delivering unparalleled value to paving contractors and suppliers."
Judson Burdon, President of Asphalt Kingdom, shared, “With over 20 years of dedication to our customers' success, Asphalt Kingdom is proud to partner with Attentive.ai. This collaboration enhances our AK DASH business solution by integrating AI into our assessment and proposal modules, providing our customers with unprecedented support and growth opportunities. Leveraging AI was a critical goal for us, and now, together with Attentive, we can provide a superior experience for all our valued customers."
The primary goal for the collaborative effort is improving the operational efficiency of the asphalt professionals who implement these AI tools, and to help usher in a new era for the industry.
