About the Client
A Engineering firm contacted is a [describe firm type, e.g., mid-sized civil engineering firm] based in the UK, specialising in infrastructure projects. As the firm grew, they struggled to manage their increasing administrative workload and operational inefficiencies, which were starting to impact project timelines and client satisfaction.
The Challenge
The firm faced several operational challenges, including:
- A time-intensive document management process for project drawings, contracts, and compliance documentation.
- Delayed data entry and reporting, leading to missed deadlines and inaccurate project tracking.
- Limited in-house resources to handle repetitive but critical back-office tasks, such as invoicing and vendor coordination.
- Increased overhead costs as they tried to manage administrative tasks internally while maintaining focus on core engineering work.
The company needed a solution to streamline their operations, reduce costs, and allow their team to focus on high-value tasks.
