EXPLORE THE INDUSTRY STORIES
Manual logistics analysis made project planning and environmental comparisons slow to prepare. Reports that had taken days were produced in hours; more than twenty employees used the model in the period described.
Packaged applications did not fit a construction business’s distinctive sales, design and production processes. The source reports an initial CRM development assignment of twenty-two weeks using 2.5 full-time-equivalent developers; the wider ERP capabilities were developed in subsequent stages.
A construction specialist needed to locate tools and equipment and understand maintenance and inspection needs across changing work sites. The source reports a warehouse application delivered in four months by one developer, helping teams track an inventory of fourteen thousand tools and construction assets.
An infrastructure company needed to modernize selected applications and data within a large, long-established Notes Domino estate. The source reports more than two hundred applications delivered in the first two years and around an 80% reduction in the number of applications required through consolidation.
Mobilizing qualified people to remote projects required fragmented messages about assignments, travel, accommodation and schedules. The source reports three months of development across four sprints, followed by penetration testing and incremental rollout, with improved engagement and experience for more than two thousand employees.
Inspectors spent office time gathering printed project information and later compiling notes, photos and findings into reports. The source reports less office-based report preparation and more time available for field inspections, with completed PDF documents automatically uploaded to the existing case platform.
Paper drawings and spreadsheets made inspection planning, data collection and reporting time-consuming and difficult to scale. The source reports live MVPs after two months and full rollout after another two months, with inspection turnaround shortened by around forty percent.
