Project Overview
Gewalt Hamilton started in 1981 with two employees working in a small home office in Illinois. Today, it has grown into a multidisciplinary organization providing civil engineering services, site design, construction administration and observation, surveying, and roadway design in the Midwestern and Southern US.
Challenge
- Project inefficiency due to mismanaging field documentation.
- Time and costs wasted on paperwork. Office managers had to download PDFs, print and insert them in multiple binders for field technicians to edit.
- Project delays due to continuous changes in documentation. The scope of jobs between a service provider and a client is constantly increasing, decreasing, or getting canceled.
The company realized they needed to go digital, driving true business transformation with a software that can help manage field documents (e.g. digital document processing, organizing, distributing and storing). In addition to, providing technicians specific instructions of which documents to complete in order via automated workflows.
Solution
Gewalt-Hamilton implemented Fluix’s field inspection software for:
- Mobile data collection
When field sheets need to be created and ready to go at a moment’s notice. - Field documentation
From completing documentation in the field and organizing based on projects, to sending completed documents back to the office. - Automated workflows
Document management and digitization of processes decreases redundancies and human errors.
“With technicians all over the Midwest and Southern United States, the ability to pass the field sheets to them within 5 to 10 minutes is critical. Fluix has been an incredibly valuable asset we use to streamline digital document processing on a per-project basis.”
