What Problem We are Solving

Problem
We’re tackling the communication and training gap in the construction industry—where 70% of laborers are immigrants and face language barriers and cultural differences every day. This disconnect contributes to high fatality rates (15 worker fatalities daily in the U.S.) and costs companies $151 billion annually. Need2Say closes these gaps by providing real-time translation and industry-specific training tools, ultimately reducing accidents, saving lives, and cutting costly incident expenses.

About Us

About Us
Need2Say is an AI-powered communication platform created to break down language barriers in the construction industry. We combine real-time voice translation for 24+ languages, OSHA-compliance features, automated safety training, and data insights into a single, easy-to-use solution. By providing construction-specific terminology, robust security, and direct communication capabilities, Need2Say helps reduce accidents, avoid costly fines, and boost productivity—ultimately making worksites safer and more efficient.

Business Model

Business Model
Need2Say uses a tiered Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription model priced per worker, per month. Our Essential plan ($12) covers core features like smart multilingual chat, training video uploads, real-time voice translation, and mobile document signing. The Pro plan ($20) builds on Essential with advanced AI capabilities for managers, unlimited message history, and seamless app integrations. For larger organizations, Enterprise+ offers fully customizable features, 24/7 support, Single Sign-On, AI metrics, and more—tailored to each client’s unique needs. This flexible structure enables construction companies of any size to choose the best fit for their communication and compliance requirements.

Competitive Advantage

Quote
Our patented technology sets us apart: our real-time voice translation goes beyond basic language conversion by factoring in construction-specific terminology, context, and workers’ native languages. This unmatched accuracy reduces workers’ compensation claims, boosts productivity, and increases profitability for construction companies. By addressing industry-specific challenges and bridging communication gaps, Need2Say delivers a comprehensive, tailored solution that truly meets the construction sector’s needs.

Go-To Market Strategy

Business Strategy
Need2Say leverages memberships in industry associations like ABC (Associated Builders & Contractors) and AGC (Associated General Contractors) to build direct connections with general contractors nationwide, including key California chapters. Our sales team actively participates in networking events, conferences, safety meetings, and workshops to showcase Need2Say’s solutions, gather feedback, and grow our brand presence. We measure success by tracking events attended, new connections, partnership opportunities, and conversion rates. This approach ensures we form valuable relationships, close sales effectively, and continuously refine our offerings based on real-time industry insights.


Competitive Analysis

Competitive Analysys
Need2Say stands apart by delivering real-time voice translation specifically tailored to construction terminology, along with industry-critical features like a Safety Hub for sharing sensitive data, AI-driven safety insights, and streamlined compliance tracking. Unlike Pocketalk’s general-purpose translation or Otter.ai’s broad transcription services, Need2Say incorporates specialized vocabulary and compliance modules designed for jobsite use. And while Procore addresses construction project management, it lacks Need2Say’s live multilingual communication layer and dedicated safety workflows. This all-in-one, construction-focused approach gives us a clear competitive advantage.
