Situation

Katerra is a cutting-edge construction company based in Silicon Valley, redefining the industry by applying advanced technology systems to design and construction. With a vision of integrating technology, design, procurement, manufacturing, and construction under one management, Katerra is eliminating middlemen and accelerating the construction process.

By following a backward vertical integration strategy, Katerra is building a global supply chain through strategic acquisitions and establishing its own factories and facilities. This rapid expansion has led to a fast-growing workforce, creating challenges in onboarding new hires and integrating employees from newly acquired companies.

Struggles and Pains

Since its founding in 2015, Katerra has experienced rapid growth, reaching 650 employees by 2017 across both U.S. and international locations. The company is continuing its expansion through strategic acquisitions and the creation of new facilities and factories, as part of its plan to consolidate the construction industry supply chain.

For IT operations, this rapid growth translates to an increased workload, particularly in employee onboarding, organizational structure creation, and managing role-based access control (RBAC) through security groups. Katerra aimed to streamline the onboarding process and provide a welcoming environment for newly acquired employees by ensuring smooth access setup and clear communication, all while maintaining security and compliance standards.
