The challenge
The firm's project-archiving workflow required pulling user and permission data out of archived projects and filtering through it by hand. Every archive cycle cost the team about thirty minutes of manual searching before they could move on. The information itself lived in Autodesk Construction Cloud, but reaching it through the ACC interface meant opening projects one by one and copying out what mattered.
Approach
Lagarsoft built a portal connected to Autodesk Construction Cloud that surfaces the same user and permission information on demand. Instead of pulling and filtering inside ACC, the archiving team queries the portal directly and gets the records they need in one place. The portal talks to ACC through Autodesk Platform Services, so the data stays current without the team maintaining a separate copy.
What we built
- Portal connected to Autodesk Construction Cloud via Autodesk Platform Services
- User and permission lookups across archived projects in one query
- Read-only surface tailored to the firm's archiving cadence
- Live data flow from ACC so the records stay in sync as projects change
Outcome
The archiving workflow that used to cost thirty minutes now completes in seconds. The team gets the time back to focus on the projects themselves, and the data stays in sync with Autodesk Construction Cloud as projects change. The portal lives alongside ACC, not on top of it, so the firm's existing Autodesk relationship continues unchanged.
Frequently asked
Does the portal replace Autodesk Construction Cloud?
No. ACC continues to be the system of record for project data. The portal is a focused read surface that makes the archiving workflow fast.
How does the portal stay in sync with ACC?
The portal calls Autodesk Construction Cloud through Autodesk Platform Services. The records reflect the current state of ACC instead of being a copy that drifts.
What changed for the team after this shipped?
The archiving workflow dropped from roughly thirty minutes of manual searching per cycle to seconds. The same information is still in ACC; the portal just makes reaching it a single query.
