Aurigo Software, based in Austin, Texas, specialising in capital planning and construction management software, has launched Aurigo Primus. This advanced AI-powered capital planning solution is designed for private facility owners in sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, retail, data centre development, and warehousing. The platform aims to transform the way organisations plan and invest in capital projects by integrating real-time data, predictive insights, and AI-driven automation.
Redefining capital planning with AI
Aurigo Primus is purpose-built to support strategic, high-impact decision-making. By seamlessly connecting capital planning with construction execution, the platform strives to ensure continuous optimisation across investment cycles. With its AI-driven intelligence, Primus will, according to Aurigo Software, help organisations forecast costs, identify risks, and build multi-year cashflows while prioritising the projects that deliver the highest return on investment (ROI).
It comes at a time when the global capital expenditure (CapEx) market is experiencing substantial growth. According to industry projections, the market will expand from $727.81 billion in 2024 to $767.84 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach $2.47 trillion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.5%. Despite this growth, many facility owners still struggle with outdated tools, siloed data, and manual processes, leading to delayed decisions, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities.
Bringing public-sector expertise to private facility owners
“For years, we’ve helped governments plan over $450 billion in infrastructure by identifying the right projects, justifying them with data, and getting them approved,” said Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and founder of Aurigo Software. “With Primus, we’re extending that expertise to private facility owners, enabling them to confidently score projects, compare scenarios, quantify ROI, and make faster, data-driven decisions.”
Aurigo Primus aims to empower financial planning and analysis (FP&A) teams, department leaders, and operations managers to eliminate capital waste and improve efficiency through:
- AI-guided scenario planning to evaluate funding strategies and prioritize high-value projects
- Comprehensive financial forecasting to predict costs, optimize cash flow, and mitigate risks
- Automated workflows and real-time alerts to align planning with actual field performance
- Centralised data visibility for better collaboration and faster approvals
“Facility owners are often navigating complex, high-stakes investment decisions while relying on legacy systems,” noted Pete Olds, Vice President of Professional Services and Customer Success at Aurigo Software. “Primus provides the modern, AI-powered visibility and control they need to drive better outcomes, faster.”
