" Our revenue has increased threefold, and we’ve saved significantly on costs since we no longer have to deal with rework. Our net profit margin now far exceeds the industry standard, which has been a major win for us"

Interviewer (JENGAI):

Yunus, thank you for joining us today! To start, can you share the top three challenges your business faced before using JENGAI?

Yunus Bickici (Owner, Silver Slate Group & JENGAI Investor):

Of course. Before we implemented JENGAI, we had three significant challenges:

  • Mistakes were definitely present
  • There was a long turnaround time from estimating to responding to client questions.
  • Our data management was inefficient, which slowed down many of our operations.

Interviewer:

How quickly did you see improvements after integrating JENGAI into your workflow?

Yunus:

The improvements were immediate. The mistakes stopped, and our processes became more streamlined right from the start.

Interviewer:

What would you say has been the most significant transformation in your business since using JENGAI?

Yunus:

The biggest transformation is how we manage our data. Having all our project and customer data centralized on one platform allows us to serve our clients quickly and efficiently. The quicker turnaround times set us apart in the industry, and our clients love that they can relay information to their own customers without delays.

Our pricing structure also improved. With accurate data, we have a clear understanding of our margins, and bottom lines, and we’ve eliminated costly surprises. This has changed how we approach bidding and project management.

Interviewer:

That sounds like a huge shift! As both a customer and an investor, what motivated you to invest in JENGAI?

Yunus:

Honestly, the impact on my business was undeniable. Seeing firsthand how JENGAI streamlined our operations and improved profitability gave me the confidence to invest. I believed in the vision of the platform and knew it could bring the same level of transformation to other businesses in the industry.

Interviewer:

How measurable were these changes in your business?

Yunus:

The changes were very measurable. Our revenue has increased threefold, and we’ve saved significantly on costs since we no longer have to deal with rework. Our net profit margin now far exceeds the industry standard, which has been a major win for us.

Interviewer:

Which part of JENGAI has been the most impactful for your business growth?

Yunus:

The platform itself—the ease of inputting, organizing, and sharing data with subcontractors, general contractors, and architects. It’s efficient, intuitive, and allows us to coordinate complex projects with fewer headaches.

Interviewer:

If you had to describe JENGAI’s support in three words, what would they be?

Yunus:

Reliable, Efficient, Game-changing.

Interviewer:

Finally, what advice would you give to another business considering JENGAI?

Yunus:

In construction, cash management is crucial—more so than the actual construction process sometimes. In challenging times, it’s essential that all pricing variables, from quantities to materials, are accurate. Even small errors can cost thousands. With JENGAI, we’ve been able to manage that responsibility effectively, ensuring accuracy across the board.

I’d strongly recommend it to any business looking to gain better control over their operations.
