The Data Center Challenge
Mission-critical facilities with complex systems, strict specifications, and schedules measured in days, not weeks. No room for procurement errors.
Critical Lead Times
Electrical gear, generators, and HVAC systems have 6-12 month lead times. Late equipment means massive penalties and lost revenue.
Spec Compliance
Every system must meet exacting specifications. Wrong equipment means costly rework and potential operational failures.
MEP Complexity
Coordinating hundreds of specialized mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems requires perfect timing and documentation.
High-Value Equipment
Multi-million dollar equipment orders require careful tracking, warranty management, and commissioning coordination.

Real Results: 250MW Hyperscale Data Center
750,000 sq ft, $420M project, 18-month fast-track schedule
A national data center contractor managing a hyperscale facility with hundreds of long-lead equipment items implemented Orcera to coordinate procurement across MEP systems.
"With hundreds of pieces of long-lead equipment, tracking everything in spreadsheets was impossible. Orcera gave us real-time visibility into every critical delivery. We hit our deadline with zero equipment delays, saving millions in liquidated damages."
- VP of Preconstruction, National Data Center Contractor
