Ludia Consulting helps AEC firms modernize end-to-end operations with Microsoft Dynamics 365, unifying business development, project delivery, field operations, finance, and AI on a single intelligent platform. Built for project-driven, margin-sensitive environments, Dynamics 365 delivers greater visibility, faster execution, and scalable growth while replacing fragmented, disconnected systems.

The road to growth comes from connecting your pursuit pipeline to your project data, automating day-to-day work, and giving your project managers and field teams smarter tools. Implemented and supported by a partner who understands both AEC operations and Microsoft technology.

Key Benefits

Ludia Consulting is your full lifecycle partner for AEC, from strategy to ongoing support. We design and implement Dynamics 365 around real-world project operations so you can connect every phase from pursuit through closeout.

Unify Your Operational Backbone

Connect pursuit data, project accounting, field operations, subcontractor management, and financial reporting on a single platform.

Win More Work, Set Up Projects Faster

Manage pursuits, proposals, and client relationships in one system. When a project is awarded, scope and contract data flows directly into project setup, with no re-entry, no errors.

See Budget Variances Before They Become Problems

Real-time budget-to-actual tracking at the project and task level. Project managers and finance leaders work from the same data at every phase, not month-end snapshots.

Optimize Field and Site Operations

Work order management, technician scheduling, and mobile access for field crews, connected to the project record so nothing falls through the gap between the site and the back office.

Manage Procurement and Subcontractors

Purchase orders, subcontractor invoices, compliance documents, and materials inventory across job sites, managed in one system rather than email threads and shared drives.

Get AI-Driven Insights and Automation

Microsoft Copilot built into every module, drafting status reports, surfacing budget risks, automating invoice matching, and helping project managers focus on the decisions that matter.

What Ludia Implements

Out-of-the-box Dynamics 365 is a starting point, not a finish line. Ludia configures and integrates the applications that matter for AEC firms, connected across the full project lifecycle.

D365 Sales
Pursuit tracking, pipeline visibility, and proposal coordination

From first client contact through contract award, with scope and contract data flowing directly into project setup when work is won.

  • Proposal workflow coordination and approval tracking
  • Win rate reporting and BD team workload visibility

D365 Project Operations
Project delivery, resourcing, and project accounting

Budget variances surface in time to act on them, not after the billing cycle closes. Project managers and finance work from the same live data.

  • Integrated time and expense with project cost recognition
  • Milestone-based billing and revenue recognition

Maintenance, commissioning, and recurring site work

Delivered for AEC and Project-Based Businesses

Ludia’s work spans geotechnical engineering, industrial services, and project-led operations. The engagements below reflect the complexity AEC firms bring to Dynamics 365 implementations.

TD Industries
Mechanical & Electrical Services / Dallas, TX

Ludia led a six-week D365 Finance and Supply Chain and Field Service assessment for TD Industries, a leading mechanical and electrical contractor. The work identified integration gaps across their field and finance operations and produced a clear remediation roadmap.

American Engineering Testing (AET)
Geotechnical Engineering / St. Paul, MN

AET implemented D365 Finance and Project Operations to replace fragmented spreadsheet-based operations across 19 offices. The result: 400 hours saved per week, same-day billing replacing a week-long process, and real-time project margin visibility for every project manager in the firm.

AI and Copilot for AEC

Microsoft has built Copilot capabilities into Sales, Project Operations, Field Service, and Finance. AEC firms that benefit from them are those whose operational data is clean, connected, and structured. Ludia builds with that in mind from the start.

Copilot in D365 Sales

Summarizes client and pursuit history, drafts follow-up emails, and surfaces next-best actions for BD teams, so your pipeline stays active without the administrative overhead.

Copilot in D365 Project Operations

Drafts project status reports, surfaces budget risks, and suggests schedule adjustments. A project manager reviews and approves before anything changes.

Copilot in D365 Field Service

Helps service representatives with work order summaries, next-step recommendations, and scheduling suggestions based on live asset and skill data.

Copilot in D365 Finance

Automates routine finance tasks, including invoice matching, collections follow-up, and period-close steps, within configurable guardrails. Finance staff review exception queues rather than processing every transaction manually.

Copilot feature availability varies by D365 application, licensing tier, and release wave. Ludia confirms capability status and licensing requirements during the assessment phase.
