Case Study: BuildTools achieves organized, transparent product management with Aha!

How Aha! helped us operate in a more transparent way

BuildTools, a Wayzata-based provider of construction management software for residential home builders, grew from a home‑grown tool into a standalone product. With over 900 ideas trapped in a Google Sheet and no reliable way to validate requests, prioritize work, or set delivery expectations, the team needed a purpose‑built product management solution to bring structure and focus.

They adopted Aha! to centralize the backlog, plan releases, and give their remote team a single source of truth; the ideas portal and Pivotal Tracker integration let them validate requests, prioritize by capacity, and manage implementation without losing visibility. As a result, BuildTools now has clearer roadmaps, better estimates, improved transparency with customers and internal teams, and faster, more confident delivery.
