What FIERI ANALYTICS INC. does

Fieri Analytics Inc., operating as TaksoAi, is a private Ottawa-based software company founded in 2021 by Simon and Tony Sottile that sells a cloud-based AI platform for mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC construction quantity takeoffs. Its proprietary computer vision system, the basis of patent applications filed in the US, Europe, Australia, and Canada, scans 2D PDF construction drawings to detect and quantify pipe, duct, fittings, fixtures, and equipment without requiring 3D models or metadata, reporting identification of 60+ component types and processing most plans in under 15 minutes. The product is delivered as a portfolio of trade-specific modules—Mechanical, Plumbing, HVAC, Piping, Subcontractor, and Suppliers & Distributors—sharing a common cloud infrastructure and exporting structured quantities to Excel, CSV, and estimating platforms including Autodesk Construction Cloud, Trimble LiveCount, FastEst, and Wendes Systems.

The company monetises through a subscription SaaS model with paid monthly or annual subscriptions alongside a free tier, and runs a hybrid go-to-market of self-serve product-led sign-up combined with a sales-assisted 'Request a Demo' motion that captures company and project sizing for enterprise buyers. End customers are mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC contractors and subcontractors in North America (Canada and the United States only), with named future expansion into insulation, industrial piping, and data-center mechanical workflows; the 2022 funding round came from leading North American mechanical contractors and suppliers, providing both capital and design-partner access. Recent roadmap execution includes the Q4 2025 Next-Generation Pipe Algorithm V2.0 and the planned Q1 2026 SpecTool for automated specification analysis.

The company is small (1-10 employees per firmographic data), founder-controlled, and remains pre-scale in disclosed revenue and headcount terms despite an active product launch cadence and an expanding integration ecosystem.

Core offering

Fieri Analytics Inc. develops TaksoAi, a cloud-based AI-powered quantity takeoff platform that uses patented computer vision to automatically detect and quantify mechanical components (pipe, duct, fittings, fixtures, equipment) directly from PDF construction drawings. The platform offers trade-specific modules for mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, piping, subcontractor, and supplier/distributor workflows, producing review-ready material counts and structured data exports for estimating software.

Product overview

TaksoAi is a cloud-based AI-powered quantity takeoff platform developed by Fieri Analytics Inc. The core product, TaksoAi, uses patented computer vision AI to automate material quantification from digital construction plans. The platform consists of specialized modules for different trades: Mechanical Estimating Software for full mechanical systems, Plumbing Estimating Software (powered by Next-Gen Pipe Algorithm V2.0) for pipe and fixture detection, HVAC Estimating Software (powered by Next-Gen Duct Algorithm V2.0) for ductwork analysis, Piping Estimating Software for complex pipe layouts, Subcontractor Estimating Software for multi-trade workflows, and Suppliers & Distributors Software for material quantification. All modules share the same cloud infrastructure, AI vision system, and export capabilities (Excel/CSV), enabling consistent workflows across mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and piping trades. The platform processes most drawings in under 15 minutes and is protected by patents and patent applications in Canada, the United States, and other countries.

Direct peers

• On-Screen Takeoff (ConstructConnect): On-Screen Takeoff is an established digital takeoff software widely used by mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC subcontractors to measure from PDF plans. It targets the same estimating workflow as TaksoAi and serves as a direct incumbent the AI vision approach aims to disrupt.
• Togal.ai: Togal.ai is an AI-powered construction takeoff platform that automatically detects and quantifies building components from drawings. It directly competes with TaksoAi in applying computer vision to construction estimating, targeting similar mechanical and general contractor customers.
• Kreo Software: Kreo is an AI-powered construction takeoff and estimating platform that automates measurement from 2D drawings and 3D models. It competes directly with TaksoAi in the AI takeoff category and serves similar mechanical and specialty contractor customers.
• Bluebeam (Nemetschek): Bluebeam is a widely adopted PDF-based takeoff and markup solution used by mechanical and specialty trade contractors for on-screen quantity takeoffs. It competes with TaksoAi for the same estimator workflow, though TaksoAi's AI automation represents a generational step beyond Bluebeam's manual measurement approach.
• PlanSwift: PlanSwift is a takeoff and estimating software for construction trades including mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC. It directly overlaps with TaksoAi's target customer base and core quantity takeoff workflow, though it relies on manual measurement rather than AI-driven component detection.

Emerging players

• Stack: Stack is an AI-powered takeoff and estimating platform for construction subcontractors across multiple trades. It overlaps with TaksoAi's target customer base and workflow, with a focus on automated measurement that competes with TaksoAi's computer vision approach.
• Buildxact: Buildxact provides construction estimating and takeoff software primarily for residential and small commercial builders in Australia and New Zealand. It addresses similar takeoff workflows to TaksoAi but with a residential rather than mechanical trade focus and a regional rather than North American base.

Broad incumbents

• Procore Technologies: Procore is a leading construction management platform serving general contractors and specialty trades including mechanical and plumbing. While not a direct takeoff competitor, Procore represents the broad platform incumbent that could embed AI takeoff functionality and challenge standalone tools like TaksoAi.
• Trimble: Trimble offers construction technology including Trimble LiveCount digital takeoff tools that integrate with TaksoAi's outputs. As an established AEC software incumbent with deep contractor relationships, Trimble competes broadly in the takeoff and estimating workflow TaksoAi targets.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk Construction Cloud is a broad construction management and BIM platform that includes takeoff, quantity survey, and model-based estimation capabilities. As an existing TaksoAi integration partner and major industry incumbent, Autodesk is both a distribution channel and the most credible competitor that could bundle AI takeoff natively.
