Digital Transformation of a Construction Company

The Client

The client is a well-known construction company in the USA that has been operating for over three decades. They have a good reputation for providing high-quality construction services and have completed many successful projects over the years. The company has a presence in multiple states across the country.

The Challenge

The construction industry has been highly competitive for a while now, yet it’s apparent that many construction companies are slow to adopt new, modern technology. Similarly, the client is also using outdated technology in their work, which has led to numerous problems, particularly in the areas of project management and resource allocation that are essential to any construction company. As a result, the client’s projects take longer than expected to complete, leading to increased errors, inefficiencies, and higher costs. These factors have had a significant impact on their brand name and profitability.

Research

To address the client’s challenges, Genesis NGN’s expert team conducted a comprehensive analysis of their processes, systems, and technology. The analysis revealed that the company heavily relied on manual processes and spreadsheets, which were prone to errors and inefficiencies. Additionally, the software, tools, and equipment they used were outdated and not tailored to their specific needs, further exacerbating the situation. Furthermore, a lack of integration between various systems resulted in duplicated efforts and a fragmented view of the company’s operations.

Solution

After conducting a thorough analysis, we developed a custom digital solution to streamline the client’s operations and enhance efficiency. This platform integrated project management, resource allocation, and equipment maintenance into a single unified system, making their various operations more efficient and effective. The platform was tailored to the company’s unique needs and requirements, and we also assisted them in purchasing the latest tools and equipment used by market leaders.
