RedHammer to Help Shape Intuit Enterprise Suite for Construction

RedHammer Partner Scott Franchini joins Intuit's Lighthouse Construction Customer Advisory Board to improve IES for contractors.

PHOENIX, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RedHammer today announced that Partner Scott Franchini has joined the newly formed Intuit Lighthouse Construction Customer Advisory Board (CAB), giving the construction industry a direct voice in improving Intuit Enterprise Suite (IES) as Intuit expands AI across its mid-market platform.

The CAB gives construction leaders a direct channel to Intuit product teams and builds on RedHammer's participation in the Intuit Lighthouse community, a selective customer success group of Intuit customers and partner firms. Franchini will contribute insight drawn from RedHammer's work inside the accounting and operations systems contractors use as they grow.

"We support more than 150 construction clients across 25 states, and we work across the financial, project management and field platforms those companies rely on. That lets us bring Intuit a perspective that goes beyond any one product and reflects what contractors need at every stage of growth, from smaller businesses to middle-market and larger firms," said Scott Franchini, Partner at RedHammer.

The appointment comes as Intuit makes AI a core part of IES and expands the platform for construction. On February 11, 2026, Intuit launched Intuit Enterprise Suite Construction Edition, which the company describes as an AI-native, end-to-end enterprise resource planning platform built for mid-market construction businesses. The platform brings financial, project and operational workflows together and uses AI to automate work and deliver business insights.

For contractors, the question is not simply whether AI is included. It is whether IES can use reliable data from across the business without becoming another disconnected layer. RedHammer will use the CAB to address how IES supports construction workflows and connects with the third-party platforms contractors already rely on.

Franchini addressed the software gap facing growing construction companies on a mid-market panel at Intuit Connect 2025, and he returns to Intuit Connect 2026 in Las Vegas, October 26 to 28, with a breakout session titled "The Construction Software Gap: Why IES Is the Mid-Market Answer."

"IES is beginning to close the middle-market construction gap by combining the usability companies already value in QuickBooks with stronger construction functionality, reporting, KPIs and AI. Just as important, Intuit is listening not only to customers, but to firms like RedHammer that bring a more holistic perspective across the full software environment," Franchini said.

Contractors evaluating Intuit Enterprise Suite or the broader software stack behind their accounting and operations can contact RedHammer at redhammer.com.
